Do you know the Primanti Bros in Pittsburgh? Meat of your choice, coleslaw, and fries in one huge sandwich. Daunting.

I am puzzled by these. IXI doesn’t work as a Roman numeral. IX=9 and XI = 11. I hope this is a decorative mistake, and isn’t meant to convey 9/11

WAY out of my field; I ask from ignorance: is this true of, say, physics? How have eugenic beliefs skewed the research? they certainly affect who is admitted into academia, whose research is funded, and who can teach. How does that affect what topics are researched & how results are interpreted?

when you think about it, sexting with RFK jr is exactly like the Palisade fires. She has a gift for subtle metaphor.

I did too, well into the 90s. Most memorable: I, on a chair, being interviewed by department chair, who was lying on the bed propped up on his elbow. He opens his spiel about the department by saying, Looking for a new colleague is like looking for a wife. He had a gold chain around his neck.
