But that's a drawing of Karl Joseph von Hartmann.

This man will be responsible for millions of needless deaths.

Google Ngram to show that the two usages are about equally common.

Every grammatical source I'm aware of says that "none" can be treated as singular or plural. In math, where it's the sort of thing we often want to say, my sense is that "none are" is used more frequently.

I expect my representatives in Congress to be straight with those they represent and to tell the truth. This sort of lying is unacceptable.

A caller asked you whether Medicare would be cut under the provisions of the BBB, and you replied that Medicare would not be touched. In fact, the increase in the deficit will trigger automatic cuts which could reach $500 billion.

You said that the provisions of the BBB would not add to the deficit. An estimate from the Wharton School of Business says that it will increase the deficit by over 3 trillion dollars in the next ten years.

Letter sent to Senator Husted on June 11, 2025

Subject: Your statements about the BBB

I have read a report of the statements you made in your recent teletownhall. Let me single out two of them.

I've gotta quibble with your Third Reich parallels here. Miller's clear counterpart is Goebbels — he even looks like him — and that guy didn't spend any time in Spandau.

I'd love to take a win, but a reliable estimate shows that he has already killed hundreds of thousands with his cuts to global health programs.

It would be appalling if it were true, but check Snopes to see it's a fabrication.

…to the point where I was telling him that I was trying to discover a formula for computing the Milnor number of an isolated hypersurface singularity as the double limit of an integral of curvature on the Milnor fiber. And it seemed he understood every word! And I’m thinking who the f is this?

At that point the older guy next to him suddenly turned to me and asked for details. I named my advisor and my general area of math, thinking that would be enough, but he wanted more…

My wife & I (circa 1979) were waiting in line outside a theatre in Manhattan. I spotted a college acquaintance up ahead, and told Jan I was going to walk up there and talk to him. I started chatting with him, and eventually said that I was a Ph.D. student in math at Columbia.

"I know I’m fed up with canada’s smug competence. They’re so busy congratulating themselves on their well regulated safe banking system, the cost effective national health care, etc they will never know what hit them. It’s about time we turned them into the 51st state!"

Just saw this blog comment from 2013:

Your deviation from Rainbow Order has been noted. The authorities are not happy.

Boys, apes, braggarts, jacks, milksops!

First they came for people with tattoos, and I did not speak out — because I do not have a tattoo.

Did you hear how often T said "raw earths"? What a deeply stupid man.

Decent people thank Ukraine.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

What Trump & Vance are doing to Zelensky is deeply shameful.
