The "it's a republic not a democracy" crowd is really leaning into "he won an election so he can't be doing anything wrong."

Look, when something’s not working, you should try just turning it off and then turning it back on again.

I'm not one to lament "kids these days," but I just taught probability theory in Quant 1, and NONE of the grad students had ever played poker.

Our schools are failing us.

When I lived in Los Angeles, Ozzy Osbourne’s local studio was in my neighborhood. I was a regular at a diner called Lulu’s Alibi. So were Ozzy and his crew.

I never talked to any of them, but Lulu’s had a menu item named after him. The Ozzy was a chip butty (French fry sandwich.) It wasn’t bad.

It would be useful if news organizations would use a word other than "Civil War" to describe intra-party disagreement.

Our latest @cccr.bsky.social survey reveals how unpopular the president’s most notable policy changes are with the American public. The survey also highlights the diversity of views within the GOP, related to their information diets, as well as US economic attitudes. cccr.wisc.edu/wp-content/u...
