Well that didn't work. I was telling my cat about Time. I don't think she was listening. She was preoccupied with my post-it to-do list and walked off with it.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Trump is all about optics. Was his 90 minute address meant to highlight division? Besides the self-confirming conclusions each side will have about the other (the Democrats’ opinions being negligible because of Republican power in all branches), was this laying groundwork for civil war?

As a heads-up, “Price Gouging” is legally defined as raising the price of a thing (here, rent) by more than 10% over the pre-event price. If you see that happening in LA via, say, Zillow or somewhere, you can report it there, or(inclusive or) list it here:
