'Taxi' and 'cab' essentially mean the same thing, but 'cab' doesn't come from 'taxicab.'
It comes from ‘cabriolet,’ which was a type of light carriage.
‘Taxi’ comes from ‘taximeter,’ which is the device that calculates the amount of a fare based on the distance traveled.

This might be my favorite Soul Train performance of all time—with his quintet; it is utterly mesmerizing & jaw-dropping
I believe it was his last performance—he was tragically murdered shortly after

People are clearly (and maybe sickly) intrigued by this incredibly tacky and dumb product and have been asking me for more details and history, so if you're morbidly curious, check this thread. I won't be repeating the flavor list, you can find that in the original post, but here's more info 🧵
Star-Spangled Ice Cream (2003-2009): A line of jingoistic-themed ice cream flavors, launched to "provide a conservative alternative" to Ben and Jerry's. Flavors included "I Hate the French Vanilla", "Iraqi Road", "Nutty Environmentalist" and "RushMallow".

Saint Paul Public Schools, one of the biggest school districts in the state, is closed for the next two days because teachers need time to build hybrid learning because unaccountable masked, armed federal government goons have made it too difficult for nonwhite children to leave their homes.

We had endless articles and TV clips about Biden's mental capacity but silence about Trump's obvious unfitness when he says he's going to start a war with Denmark over Greenland because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"
