ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

I’m a sucker for a new NYT game.
Pips is a logic puzzle where players must arrange a set of dominoes to meet the conditions of the board to win. There are three new puzzles each day — Easy, Medium and Hard — so you can solve at your own speed, in any order you want. nyti.ms/469C6sW

All of the penicillin in use worldwide comes from a strain of mold that was growing on a cantaloupe bought at a grocery store in Peoria, Illinois in 1942.
What’s your favorite food fact that is true but sounds totally made up?
I’ll start: about half of the mushrooms produced across the United States of America each year (more than 300 million pounds of mushrooms in recent years) are produced in *one county* in Pennsylvania.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

We hadn't seen some of these in many years; posters tend to get pretty beaten up on tours, or lost in the shuffle. But Mark O, bless him, had kept a few of them in one piece, and he signed 'em too. (So did I).

I have no idea what this will mean for my work (at WNET) in the coming days. It’s truly frightening what is happening across the board.
The Senate narrowly approved President Trump’s request to cut $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting funding. The bill marks a legislative victory for Trump amid ongoing spending disputes.
