Personally I wouldn't have named my holiday booking company On The Beach, but maybe they're not going for the Nevil Shute-reading crowd.

"Mary Rose" is so deeply ingrained as "the name of a ship" that you don't really think of its 'natural'meaning, until presented with "Peter Pomegranate".
Thought Boaty McBoatface was a funny name?
Meet the Mary Rose's sister ship, the Peter Pomegranate.

If there were three lawyers, Thomas Dye, Edward Chitt, and Willard Eet, might the name of their firm sound in court like Eat Shit & Die? Asking on behalf of some extremely childish part of myself that may tantrum if I don’t.

This isn't a democracy. No democracy gives the President immunity from all crimes while in office.

We have been researching the ease with which administration officials could do this kind of thing (even just by rumormongering) for several weeks, and were planning to run a story about it next week. Events overtook us, but look for our report soon at @prospect.org.

Reading Chotiner interviews with people who actually know what they're talking about is interesting because you realize his main skill is not "gotchas" but just like, facilitating effective communication. when that runs into someone who's used to dissimulating they get humiliated.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
