Folks, I see a lot of you recently feeling free to use some variation of the "R" word for mentally disabled, including appending the last four letters as suffix to describe people you don't like. I'm not down with that, so if you do it in my comments, I'm gonna hide that shit at least. Be better.

The years of treatments for Olson’s nonexistent cancer impeded the care for his very real diabetes. Weekly transfusions had resulted in potentially lethal iron levels while the unnecessary chemotherapy disqualified him from the transplant waitlist.

COLUMN: Feel like a British detective show for the holidays? Here are 4 to watch on Acorn I have my concerns about copaganda as a genre but I’m not immune to the pleasures of a well-told investigation. No guns. No gimmicks. Just asking questions, squinting at the evidence and solving a crime

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it. The law only ever serves capital.

Fun fact: there's no federal law rule about how soon a House special election must be called. The Constitution requires one to be held but says nothing about how quickly. In theory, could push it to the next biennial and then have a special election only for the lame duck couple of months left.

Naomi Beinart, 16: "We girls woke up to a country that would rather elect a man found liable for sexual abuse than a woman...Where the body I haven’t fully grown into may no longer be under my control. The boys, it seemed to me, just woke up on a Wednesday."

Museums are houses of things. But each object contains the memories and lifetimes of the people who made, used and cared for them—sometimes over generations—and there are moments when we see them resurface in ways we could never anticipate. 🧵

I probably should’ve asked this sooner, but is the new president Donald Trump the same as the old one, or is he a different guy with the same name?

There is no future for major media unless it changes how it operates, which it will not do because it would first have to engage in introspection. And introspection is not going to happen because many journalists do not understand journalism, only career advancement. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
