lol this is actually a topic where Big Hand Dryer and Big Paper have been fighting a research war for years. Both industries fund a lot of research proving that each option is actually the cleaner, more sustainable solution.
At this point, the Washpost edit page is just trolling its readers.
This is today's actual house editorial.

Minnesota’s Democrats in Congress say they will push to undo a federal ban on intoxicating hemp products before it takes effect in a year and upends the state’s market for low-dose THC products.
Minnesota Democrats in Congress look to reverse federal ban on hemp THC products
It’s unclear if Minnesota’s GOP congressmembers will seek a fix, though Rep. Tom Emmer has appeared open to it.

The ultimate act of service? Buddy, it’s a ride to the airport
Picking up and dropping off the people you care about at the airport is a hassle—but it’s the ultimate act of service, wrote columnist Dawn Gilbertson in 2023.
“If I’m free, I’ll bring anyone to the airport, including my former husband.”

Not the worst thing about this of course, but the idea that medieval Europe judicially executed 2% of the population is ludicrous. Even at the highest peaks you get nowhere close to 1 in every 50 people. That's wartime massacres territory.

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back
Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.
I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

Like, im sorry, but the conspiracy theorists have had 60yrs, the opening of the Soviet archives, etc to get a scrap of evidence that there was a conspiracy. They have not done so. The official story accurately described all the facts.

JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess
