Today I learned that US Presidents are wholly exempt from conflict of interest violations (which doesn't seem right).

However, a "special government employee" with multiple government contracts & a car company is not.

Hypothetically, if a Bond villain used teenage hackers to takeover the US financial system could those highly impressionable, yet malicious actors then be tried as adults?

Sinéad recalls as a child deciding she no longer loved her unstable mother.

The photo of Pope John Paul II infamously tore on SNL was from his 1979 visit to Ireland, & more specifically the one that had been on her mother's wall.

Every time she performed Prince's song it was addressing her.

Can't decide which cover of Kurt Andersen's "Evil Geniuses" I prefer, but they're both dense w/ research on our structural shifts over the last 40+ years, w/ only the occassional reference to FDR.

BTS, I'm certain there was debate over whether to title it "Evil Genii", but they made the right call.
