It's a shame all of the old Bill Safire-type language columns, corny as they were, are gone. We're witnessing a massive shift in what people mean when they say 'technocrat," but no one has really tracked/unpacked it.

If your district, school, or household is concerned about the attitudes and abilities of students when it comes to writing, I think I can help with that. First, why writing matters more than ever in the ChatGPT age: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/john-...

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸
