If I understand this reasoning correctly, you can get away with any crime as long as you make it complicated enough for the prosecutor to give up.
We all heard the phone call and know Trump tried to get the votes.
BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨

A Georgia prosecutor on Wednesday officially dropped the historic racketeering case against President Donald Trump and others for attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

And now your moment of Mila, who knows in her heart that every day is Caturday. Note that her choice of camouflage matches her widdle pink nose.

People around here are losing their minds about suburban coyote sightings. Meanwhile, Acme Co. keeps selling defective roadrunner-capture implements AND NOBODY IS REPORTING ABOUT IT.

Git along, little DOGE
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

American sports culture question: You just wadded up a piece of paper and made a trash can free throw and the shot went in. What is the appropriate next thing that you do?

You know what would make an interesting movie mashup? "Margin Call" with "My Dinner with Andre."

And now your moment of Mila and Looie-loo. I just realized I am always asking about Looie's snoot boopability but not Mila's. So, please rate Mila's snoot AND her beauty mark for boopability. And Happy Caturday to all!

Looie-loo bids you a Happy Caturday and aaks that you please rate his snoot for boopability.

If Peter Tosh wrote a song about journalism, it would be titled "Localize It."

Anyone else remember the movie Southern Comfort? Because the North Carolinians chasing camo-clad ICE into the woods during hunting season sure brings it to mind.

I love that Ken Burns got Paul Giamatti to voice John Adams. After his role in the HBO series, I can't imagine anyone else performing Adams.

Ken Burns' Revolutionary War series is on. It reminds me of an important fact I learned from "Dazed and Confused" : Behind every great man was a great woman, man, and for George Washington that woman was Martha Washington, man. She was a hip, HIP lady, man. #HATM

Valid, but why can't readability meters online also include in the calculation distracting popup ads and "sign up for our email newsletter" interstitials that block content when I've only gotten three-quarters of the way through the first sentence?
How are you making your news readable? Are you using tools built-in to grammar checkers or the popular Fletch-Kinkaid score? You may want to try a different way, writes Kehinde Adepetun today in the The Word.

You know how it says in Genesis, "And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness." Why was it necessary to separate the light from the darkness? What did it look like?

They began by not even trying, and then they advanced to REALLY not even trying.
Colleague just got an email that starts: "Here's a polished and respectful letter you can send to your professor"
Email from a student who turned in a ChatGPT essay. Not even looking at the ChatGPT output in the apology 🥴

#HATM is that Paul Giamatti I hear?
November 17, 2025 at 4:25 AM
#HATM My ancestor Daniel Tyler was a Revolutionary War veteran. He was born in Virginia and fought at the Battle of Saratoga as a member of Colonel Daniel Morgan's unit of sharpshooters. I'm guessing since my uncle Glenn was a member of the SAR, I would also qualify.
