I was bothered by the etymologies I was seeing for "perfidy" because my Latin was telling me it meant "through faith".
It does; we have elided the full historical phrase, _per fidem decipere_, to *deceive* through faith.

Trump is offended by the idea that a person who steals other people's money by telling lies and committing fraud could actually go to prison for something like that.

When Sweet, the baking book I co-authored with Yotam Ottolenghi, came out in the United States in 2017, my excitement at seeing so many people bake from it was matched only by my horror at what I saw them pulling from their ovens on Instagram: pale cakes with thick, dark exteriors.

The Marine Corps is rolling back waivers that allowed members to skip shaving if they got razor bumps.
Critics say it targets Black men as the condition affects up to 60% of them, according to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology, a far higher rate than for any other group.
