Befuddling.
It’d also be nice to see Gene S. point out an incorrect call one lousy time rather than see him confirm every single call no matter how ludicrous. His contributions make it feel like some sort of conspiracy

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Lindbergh ' Speech - 1941 | Movietone Moment | 11 September 2020 YouTube video by British Movietone

For no real reason, here’s Charles Lindbergh in 1941 saying US shouldn’t assist the UK’s war with Germany because country should 1) prioritize America First interests, 2) avoid European entanglements, 3) push for peace, and 4) recognize it’s an unfair deal for us.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Do you give those reports to people outside of your office, with no contextual knowledge of said work, to determine whether your staff is β€œeffective”?
Who then determine whether your staff members should lose their jobs?

(No we have no idea with what criteria or standards β€œeffectiveβ€œ is determined)

For *some* reason.
Yep, that’s a real mind-bender…

So did he expel him or did the guy just leave? Because he moves rather quickly in the thread from forcing him to leave to β€œself-expelling,” which is not a term and makes no actual sense (other than in reference to vomiting).

Misinfo: bad information.
Disinfo: bad information circulated in order to bring about specific goals (the "d" is for "deliberate," I like to say)
Counter misinfo: fact-checking
Counter disinfo: debunking; is highly public, often confrontational, can appear very partisan, and makes you sound nuts

Not much of a football coach but truly this is an embarrassment of an elected official

Grantland Rice, the Four Horsemen and the blowout that never was Generations of sportswriters have been inspired by Rice’s penchant for drama and flair. But the spectacular can obfuscate the real, more interesting stories taking place on and off the field.

Out this morning: a short piece in #TheConversation about #sportswriting, #sportsjournalism, and #storylines, focusing on Notre Dame, Army, Grantland Rice, and the Four Horsemen.

Army won that game in 1958, but has lost the next fifteen to the Irish.

High time for an upset? Or will ND continue their streak?

When #6 Notre Dame plays #18 Army on Saturday, it will be the first time in 66 years that both teams are ranked when they meet.
