I've come to love my students' lil spelling and punctuation issues because I know it means they didn't use ChatGPT.

You know how there are some historical reenactment museum areas where you can go and see people dressed old timey churning butter and making horseshoes? There should be one that's a bar and kids can go listen to reenactors complain about their city's sports teams from different decades

Visited friends in Lancaster, PA and I'm always struck by how cute and complete of a city it is. It's walkable beyond belief, there's a proper train station, and no highways slice through the heart of town. It's wild how few small cities like that are left in much of the country.

I used to work at a suburban newspaper. Every week there were school superintendents exposed as embezzlers, police captains racking up DUIs, county officials doing favors for relatives' businesses. All that is less visible now, and the absence of shame leads to normalization.
one of the underrated factors for the rise in scamming across U.S. society is the death of local media.
It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.

We can reconstruct two Proto-Indo-European verbal roots meaning 'to fart' but still cannot reconstruct a common PIE word for 'finger'.

Dormont Council President Jen Mazzocco announces her candidacy for the seat in the South Hills that Rep. Dan Miller is vacating (after he won a spot on the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas).
I’m Jen Mazzocco. I’m a teacher, a mom, a union leader and a councilwoman, and now I’m running to be your next State Representative in House District 42.

In a previous era, the U.S. president calling for the deaths of his political opponents probably would've warranted interrupting everything else on TV for the day.
CNN and MSNBC are running a livestream of Dick Cheney's funeral. Fox News is focusing on the Dem who allegedly misused FEMA funds.
