Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

I am not wild about all the tile and marble flooring. I don’t think our cats will like that. And it will be cold under foot getting in and out of the master bed

AI empowering the subversion of rule of law? Sovereign debt doom loop? Americans discovering that quality of life is higher in Europe?

Sorry, disensh*ttification

I have introduced many people to the term. They grasp it immediately. And desh*ttification is desperately needed!

Some good news. Never was news in the past

Good answer. Despite what she’s going through, she didn’t mention any cons!

Why isn’t biannual like bicentennial…every two years and every 200 years? Seems like just error to use biannual to mean semiannual. (Of course, that’s not how language works so what was once an error might not be any longer)

Embarrassed to admit I had to look up TRO (temporary restraining order)

Absolutely. Didn’t you learn that in beginning stats? And if not there, maybe it’s a vibe coding thing

Not sure about you, Susan, but I learned to read with ITA. Then midway through first grade, I remember having to relearn with a standard alphabet and spelling. I recall it being frustrating. But I don’t think it adversely affected my subsequent reading or spelling ability at all.

Looks like Ridgecrest Rd, atop Mt Tam. Most beautiful road I’ve ever been on

I moved from DC to Chicago in 2000. When I came back to visit, I was shocked at how intimate DC was.

All the books I ordered last week just arrived! Can't wait to pour myself a drink, relax, be too tired to read and play around on my phone all night

"Vote for the guy who would help me take over your country" is an incredible closing message

It is a good title, to be sure. But I also put a lot of weight in this case on independent discovery of a great title….there are definitely new challenges!

Remarkable how Trump dealt himself the worst possible hand to negotiate w/ China.

1st card: Enacted tariffs that threaten to tank the economy
2nd: Backs China into a corner.
3rd: Makes fed incapable of responding
4th: Tanks markets, bonds and the dollar
5th: no end game, no plan

Professor Martina Lawless named as new ESRI Director The Council of the Economic and Social Research Institute has appointed Professor Martina Lawless as its next director.

Very proud that my wife, Martina, has been appointed to be Director of the ESRI. My father, Chris, worked at the ESRI for almost all his career. He passed away in 2022 but I know he would have been incredibly proud as would my mother, Yvonne, who we lost in January.
