In 1965, Xerox recruited “the creative, responsible, non-conformist.” Even though I might be such a person myself (perhaps *because* I might be), that wanting to have things both ways hurts a little every time I read this. (From Patrick McCray, Making Art Work)

A magazine advertisement for Xerox. Large text reads “How can we spot the creative, responsible, non-conformist at this stage in the game? Send us a creative, responsible, non-conformist resume.” The ad also pictures a bag overflowing with letters labeled “U.S. Mail,” and includes smaller text with more detail about who Xerox is seeking.

The Minnesota legislature teed Walz up to say he expanded medical protection for newborns rather than eliminating protection for even one born “as a result of an abortion,” and he didn’t say it. That’s infuriating, as is media reporting this as the repeal of a protection rather than its expansion.

Minnesota statute 145.423 with 2023 amendments, including removing the phrase “as a result of an abortion.”
