Law guy, history guy. Research deep-diver. Digression wrangler. I also make the Illustrated Guide to Law webcomic at lawcomic.net.
I can't believe it, but Trump was right on this:
Constitutional scholars at the time, left and right, overwhelmingly thought Roe v. Wade was godawful. Even RBG said it was a mistake.

A rare case in which a single passenger’s mask ends up protecting the entire plane
‘Yellowstone’ Star Kicked off Plane for Throwing a Tantrum Over a Passenger Wearing a Mask. He's being roundly excoriated and ridiculed on Insta so there's hope for humanity yet. www.themarysue.com/forrie-j-smi...

Hell, yes.
I'm officially coining the term
'TILLBLERONE'.
'TILLBLERONE'.
One of the many German words for a supermarket checkout divider is Warentrennstab, which means “the stick separating the wares”
And in German-speaking parts of Switzerland, a colloquial name for the triangular checkout divider is Kassentoblerone, or “cash register Toblerone”

"For one, ice cream’s glycemic index, a measure of how rapidly a food boosts blood sugar, is lower than that of brown rice. “... it’s got fat, it’s got protein, it’s got vitamins. It’s better for you than bread,” Mozaffarian said. “ … it could actually protect against diabetes.”"
It’s so funny how every study shows that ice cream is good for you but this makes scientists mad so they don’t talk about it

I know it's a cliche at this point, but I somehow am thinking about the Roman Empire.
Specifically how we harvest lead ballast from ancient Roman shipwrecks to shield extremely sensitive particle detectors because modern lead is still hot from the Atomic Bomb.
