Today I learned that one reason we like the smell of old books is that they give off the scent of vanillin, which is found in mother's milk.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Nothing about what Jill Lepore says is remotely true for @pullman.wsu.edu for 2014 or any other year—maybe because we’re a land grant institution? Also: didn’t we used to say that anecdata is not data?
This is an absolutely incredible thing to say. As someone in Ivy-ish (Duke) classrooms from 2016-2022… I call bull.

Wonderful essay by Nora Gilbert on "Gaslight"
“The document’s brief description of the ending of the ‘original English play’ stunned me. This was not the ending of the ‘Gas Light’ script I knew so well by that point.”

He hates this country, like his puppetmaster Putin, so tearing down the White House is the next logical step.
He’s already destroying the country, so destroying the symbols of the country isn’t surprising. Of course it’s not legal, but then, nothing he’s done since January 20 has been legal, however much it’s been rubber-stamped by a corrupt Supreme Court.
Dramatic photos show construction equipment tearing into the East Wing façade and windows, though the federal agency that oversees such projects has not approved President Trump's 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom. n.pr/48AUON2

Trump is enacting a well thought out plan so he and his allies can rule forever.
But it's not too late to stop them. We can peacefully and forcefully mobilize now. We have the power.
