During a visit to our lab, a parent noticed on a survey that we asked about their consumption of potatoes, and then a separate question about fries.

Looking like LeBron might make his season debut tonight. Did you know he’s old as hell? Do you know who is even older? Me. I am so old. Which is why I got to write the essay for his 78th SLAM cover.

Nonviolence in the face of terror or violence against others is extremely powerful, because it will motivate others to see that the cruelty and evil is one-sided and is the root of the problem.
Jacob Soboroff points out that part of the benefit of the protest training taking place in Charlotte is to defy the narrative that Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want to use to smear the protests as violent and unruly.

The reason we have laws* against bribery is that companies will absolutely bribe politicians at the very first opportunity if it is good for the bottom line, because they see it as a sound business decision, not a civilizational betrayal.

SHIP OF THESEUS TOUR.
This is kind of wild. Despite previously mounting farewell tours, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner will play the new Shakopee amphitheater in August.
Thing is, neither (cover) band has *any* original members left. LS still has Ronnie's little brother up front, but Foreigner's lead singer is new.
