Not to mention this exchange between the two charmers
In one, Summers forwarded Epstein an email from Jin asking for feedback on a paper. Summers mused to Epstein that it was “probably appropriate” to hold off on responding. “She’s already begining to sound needy :) nice,” Epstein replied.

I'm trying to review a serious biography of Mary Shelley but my ability to take these absolute dramaramas keeps deteriorating as I write.
In her teens, she elopes with Percy Shelley, would-be poet and black sheep of his upper-crust family, who happens to be inconveniently already married. The couple meets up with legendary bad boy Lord Byron

This is, as far as I know, unprecedented.
Meeting at their annual conference in Baltimore, the bishops voted 216-5 (with three abstentions) to approve a “Special Message” on immigration — the first such action in 12 years. After the overwhelming vote, the assembly of bishops stood and applauded, underscoring the moment’s importance. Longtime church observers called it perhaps the strongest collective denunciation of a U.S. president by the Catholic hierarchy in American history.

Walt Kelly never stopped observing it as Armistice Day.
A Pogo strip by Walt Kelly. Porky Pine says, "Y'know, it seems to me this is all backwards...we, ever'body, ought to keep our big mouths shut all the whole year long so's we'd have time to think of two minutes' worth of somethin' to say on the eleventh day of November."

Did I...did I invent this French cartoonist? Are my characters entering reality to take revenge like in a bad Stephen King coke story? Oh shit, did I create the obviously fake pocket universe we're all trapped in right now? I am so, so sorry.
Very good French cartoonist Berenice Motais de Narbonne. It's just that I did a webcomic starring a mad scientist named Narbon for six years. Also, this is maybe only immediately obvious to me, but I did a comic with *another* made scientist named Berenice "Tigerlily" Jones. Not Bernice, Berenice. I almost never see these names in real life, but to be fair I'm not in France.

Profiles in courage we got here
Neither justice mentioned Trump, nor the litany of cases they are juggling involving his second term. Justice Samuel Alito, another member of the court’s conservative bloc, attended the event on Thursday but did not speak.
