What if — and stick with me here for a sec — there have always been some young white men in America who are right-wing, and the reason is because they agree with right-wing stances, and therefore we don't need a novel "look what you made me do" explanation for why some today were "forced" into it.

Eh, Roosevelt's dime has a historical connection to the March of Dimes and combating polio. Something we're sadly gonna need to remember 😢

Jefferson is on the nickel though. Eff that guy.

I feel like Daylight Savings Time would be a bigger issue.

In 2010, I studied citations to Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions, showing that scholars that mistyped their refs to Kuhn generally pulled those mistypes from other articles with the same errors, and in those cases often cited Kuhn incorrectly, suggesting they likely didn't read the book.

I know very few things about boxing but I can definitely tell I'm watching someone who rules at this play with someone who thinks he rules at this, get bored, and drop his sorry ass 'cuz he's got better shit to do.

Professionnel athletes are way better at their jobs than you think.

No, even way better than that.

in my heart I feel like Pope Leo is yanking him offstage with a big white cane like they do in Looney Tunes when a bad singer goes on too long

the guy who prayed at Trump’s inauguration does not get to keep his job a minute longer than necessary

When we have breaking news or severe weather and the news has to get on the air at a time we're not normally scheduled, the producer in the control room has to call a closed captioning hub and they scramble a live captioner for our breaking news b/c it's an FCC requirement and we can get fined!
