Mark my words: right now, it's an editorial cartoon being killed by the brass of The Washington Post. Pretty soon, it's a major story about Trump's corruption being killed by the brass.
This will happen. Get ready for it.

Do not do *anything* related to voter registration on any 3rd party sites, especially any PACs. Always start with vote.gov or vote.org to check or update your registration status, or register to vote.

This really works; delete the gobbledegook after your search term (in my e.g. this is q=recipe+for+bread) and add &udm=14 and all the top tips, AI summaries, 'also searched for' and video (1st image) vanishes. You just get actual search results (2nd image).

We can only deal with the chronic school absences by addressing their root cause. That root cause is repeat infection with a virus with debilitating effects, a virus that is still rapidly mutating with a high infectiousness. We can't ignore us. Schools tell us we can't ignore it.

What's the Spread of Wolff's Mathematical Method in 18c Germany? This depends on the whole of the academic production of 18th logic and philosophy in Germany; so, we wrote an open data paper on that whole - now in submission. Eight authors, years of work – with OCLC research & University of Turin.
