You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.
You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.
See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

Hey, Historians! I remember a grad school prof mentioning that footnotes are where the real battle is waged.
Next time you feel limited by the length of a tweet, remember that the Alt Text for images does not have a definitive character limit.

Vanity Fair reports: “Trump transition team had a meeting today to discuss sexual assault allegations against Sec of Defense nominee @PeteHegseth.”
They are, after all, a job prerequisite these days for the Trump White House.

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur."
I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

After every US election, we get lectures suggesting that if we were nicer to Nazis they wouldn't be Nazis. I mean, they're threatening the very survival of a lot of us, and it's supposed to be uncouth of us to mention that in mixed company. Wrote about that in 2020: lithub.com/rebecca-soln...
