I know lots of people are theorizing that Trump has died. But didn’t he just have a meeting with Tony Blair yesterday? And doesn’t he often have days where he just does nothing? Not seeing him for a few days is not unusual.

Pants wetting over an obviously good policy! If the federal government subsidizes an industry to the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars per year, then it should get an ownership stake. This is why we shouldn’t let geriatric cold warriors near the levers of power anymore.

I love how commentators write these articles every year and nothing they predict ever comes true. They never admit that they have no real insight and are just doing soft propaganda. But, hey, keep churning ‘em out! Collect that paycheck!

I have only done a little French so far. But, I have enjoyed connecting with a native speaker across the globe! If you’re looking to learn a new language or brush up on one you’ve been learning for a while, check out italki! #italkianniversary @italki italki.com/c/14thannivers…

Excited to have a second chance at learning Greek, with a very fine teacher @jeltzz , after many years. Of course, Step 1 is having a kitted-out notebook. My go-to is a Leuchtturm1917 adorned with stickers by @_HardeepDhindsa .

Watching a SC hearing on a Civil law case (my first). Lots of references to what is done in France. Is that normal? @EmilieTaman @mspratt

The portrait in the background of this Reuters photo is of Sen Charles Sumner, who was beaten nearly to death in the chamber by a Southern congressman who resented a speech Sumner gave attacking slaveholders. The Civil War started 5 years later

If you believe "Let's Take Canada Back" is somehow different than "Make America Great Again" , you're unfortunately part of the problem.

Today, @realDonaldTrump supporters followed the Biden bus throughout central Texas to intimidate Biden supporters. They ran into a person's car, yelling curse words and threats. Don't let bullies win, vote.

Just listened to the newest episode of @blockedpartypod, and, having listened to ep.69 of RGS yesterday, I now have twice heard @boring_as_heck and @cullenthecomic talk about how they would add 69+69 to get 138. Looking forward to ep.69 of the next pod so I can hear it again.

Does anyone know of a good Greek history text other than Martin? It’s good, but I’m looking for something more akin to Forsythe “Critical History of Early Rome”.

At the MN Star Fair, looking at the seed art. The particularly awesome Diane Gerth of St. Paul depicted the panel from the Bayeux Tapestry wherein King Harald is killed in battle at Hastings in 1066.
