Not sure if Republicans will release Trump’s brain MRI to distract from the Epstein files, or announce he’s on the Epstein list to distract from how bad that MRI is.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Getting a kick out of watching the Packers eat post victory. In 2009, my son, husband and grandson, age 4, drove from Erie to Detroit for Packers-Lions. Watched the game. Drove home. Ate turkey sandwiches in the car. Fond memory! It was the 1st time my grandson had gone away without his twin brother

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.
