Some people vocally oppose using ‘data’ and ‘panini’ as singular nouns, saying they come from plural nouns.
That’s true, but that also goes for ‘marvel’ and ‘joy’: they used to be plural too.
And ‘cherries’ and ‘peas’ used to be singular.
Zoom in to learn all about this phenomenon: reanalysis.

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

If Treasury returns are up that means the government is paying *more* to people who lend it money
This is a *BAD* thing
For the government, it makes everything more expensive
For investors, it means they don't have confidence that US debt is a good investment

Birthright citizenship is citizenship you have a right to at birth, by whatever route. Jus soli citizenship is a subtype of birthright citizenship that gives you citizenship based on *where* you're born. Jus sanguinis citizenship is another subtype that gives you citizenship based on parentage.

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

Yes Plz has entirely ruined my wife and I for coffee shops. There’s literally nowhere that makes coffee as good as we do at home, and we don’t even try that hard. Coffee nerds would be smart to get on this deal when it drops
Feels like spitting into a hurricane but I think I'm going to drop a video with a very generous discount code onto social media in the next day or two and see if I can lure some folks into the coffee fold for Black Friday.
