My favorite in the list is that Trump will supposedly allow foreign students to study in the US, as though this affects the OP in any way, shape, or form.

Never mind whether the policy is good (it is) or bad, it probably won't affect him at all!

I'd put forth that you can also see this dynamic in the original colonization of the Americas. Massachusetts Bay Colony was a "city on a hill," Rhode Island was an offshoot of Puritan culture, Pennsylvania was a home for Quakers, etc.

Meanwhile, Jamestown was explicitly a moneymaking venture.

The Christmas card, by itself, was basically a confession.

Spoiler too if you aren't inclined to listen to the clip - they also increased in math scores, even though they didn't make any major shift in their math curriculum during that time. It turns out other subjects become easier when you have better reading skills!

I remember explaining to my science-major college roommate that 170k wasn't enough for members of Congress to maintain two households and travel to and from their districts, and she looked at me like I had two heads.

It's the Chappaquiddick Shuffle. He's a Kennedy; it's in his lineage.

I also suspect that if Sliwa had dropped out, many of his supporters would have either not voted or have voted for Mamdani. I think Sliwa and Mamdani share a certain base of support from working-class New Yorkers, and both candidates clearly love the city.

The shirts have pre-existed Charlie Kirk's death by several years, unsurprisingly.

You can buy those exact tshirts on Amazon.
