A concept I've been meaning to float to make sense of what's happened to the US Constitution is an idea from the British constitutional tradition: "implied repeal."

It's useful because it helps us to understand that Article I, & much else of the US Constitution, has been implicitly repealed.

What is the plural of syllabus? At the end of an ancient papyrus or parchment scroll would sometimes be a hanging tag called a σιττύβα that was later misread as σίλλυβος (sillybos). This tag transmitted the title or author of the work. Thus the true neo-Greek plural should be sillyboi, which is fun.

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

New data suggests separations are happening all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

In a writer networking workshop I run, I ask attendees to think about the coolest person they want to meet.

Then I ask what they’d offer them as a peer (this could be anything!).

If there’s no answer, it isn’t time to network in that room.

…a specific type of attendee rarely has an answer.
This shit is made up, actually
