Politics/national is what he’s get rid of if he really wanted to please Trump, not the volleyball scores.
No, I think like a lot of really rich people Bezos identifies value with money, which means he does not value the Post, which loses a lot of money.
He may also think he is doing something “new.”

The politics and national sections do plenty to undermine Trump but people don’t ever mention this, perhaps because they don’t actually know what’s written in the paper, having performatively cancelled their subscriptions/drained the paper of resources/never read it in the first place.

Great! Sounds like we have an agreement: No burning dumpsters, no photos of people burning dumpsters.

With humility, I beseech people of all political stripes to not light dumpsters on fire.

So you would partly be experiencing a change from philosophy to anthropology and also the "idiocy" of academia—which goes unnoticed when everyone is practicing it to some extent, thinking freely and theoretically rather than practically—meeting a non-academic work environment.

It seems plausible that this young person is doing the same thing she'd do in her anthropology class albeit in a context where esoteric thoughts on "field work" seem ridiculous.

Maybe the illegals stole healthcare in revenge for being treated like shit and the Grinch helped them by turning the tables on ICE and using his handcuffs to arrest them. I think this is probably what it is saying.

It should be a real “are we the baddies/grinches?” moment of reflection for ICE and its meme-makers.

“Do you think maybe THIS is why they had you take an MRI?” would be a good all-purpose follow-up question to more or less everything Trump says.

Thank you for clarifying. However, you're the one who mentions "history"—Carson merely ("merely") talks about the Greeks understanding of time, which is derivable from the way they used that and related words, which in turn is derivable from the dictionaries, with citations from Homer to Aristotle.

What are you actually asking? OPISTHEN means both “behind” and “in the future.” It would be attributed to the Greeks because that’s apparently how they used the word and to Homer because his is the earliest known use of it. But as a Thucydides scholar you know that. (Loved your list, btw.)

But “gift” has “give,” which if not *devoted* to the noun is at least highly attentive to it. There is simply no need for “gift” as verb, which is partly what makes it seem so tacky and gold-gilding.

In the instances you mention, there is a great distance between noun and verb—between “terror,” say, and “instill.” You can see how giving the production of terror its own verb would be handy, and the noun offers itself up as a likely candidate.
