I like that Trump will say some garbled sentence like, β€œThe war against the very bad, no class Agrabah is now over until soon and with tears in her eyes, Bianca Jagger thanked me in Studio 54” and serious people act as if he had some sort of coherent thought that he’ll remember tomorrow

An old screenshot talking about Google on top. It says "Google is a pure search engine β€” no weather, no news feed, no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions, no portal litter. Nothing but a fast-loading search site. Reward them with a visit.

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she β€œcleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

They gotta start screening people who sit in exit rows. There’s an old woman who keeps accidentally playing music at full volume from her phone and then her and her husband scramble to try to turn it off and I just don’t trust that they’ll be very helpful in an emergency

So we already have the term Polymath for someone who excels in a lot of knowledge-based fields.
