If it’s good, do you think people will claim it’s an AI deepfake? (It feels too on the nose for 2024, but that’s why I half expect it…)

Opinion | To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Racewww.nytimes.com The president’s inadequate performance in the debate made it clear he is not the man he was four years ago.

Weird that the felon insurrectionist shouldn’t serve his country by dropping out but I am not a BigBrain NYT person so what do I know.

I have said it before and I'll say it again: When Milo Y. spoke at University of Washington in 2016 the administration said there was nothing they could do, and SOMEONE GOT SHOT AT THE EVENT. And the university did nothing.

I didn't see anyone talking about antisemitism when neo-Nazis were matching in the streets and, where I taught at the time, booking the biggest performance venue on campus. The university said their hands were tied. They didn't protect their students from the possibility of racist violence.

They taught us this in middle school when it was way too early

Ok, I feel better. It is somewhere between those two now, although I feel like the Census Bureau would require us to denote quantities so we could compare the unit price. Like, you may have been enjoying a whole wheel of halloumi

Not sure when you were last here, but I have bad news about the halloumi

Ok, I will settle for a brief essay collection of your time here in Somerville
