Merriam Webster out here fighting for its life

Merriam-Webster & @Merriam..•18h
'Goodbye' is an alteration of "God be with you."

Sean Kress• @SKress7514 • 16h
Do you have evidence to back this up? If so can you explain what "good night" , "good
morning" and "good evening" are alterations of?

Merriam-Webster & @Merriam..•15h
what

Sean Kress & @SKress7514 • 14h
I was genuinely asking the question because the only thing I find on the internet is that it is basically a slur from the original.... I assumed there was a better explanation for it than that as it seems a little unlikely given the good night, good morning etc haven't been slurred into something else too. Sorry if you saw that as offensive.

Merriam-Webster @ @Merriam...•14h S
It is not related to 'good night/ day/morning.'
The 'good' in those do not come from 'God.'

Sean Kress @ @SKress7514 • 14h
So the internet suggestion this it is just a slur is what you are basing that on too then?

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Merriam-Webster's etymology follows established linguistic scholarship, not unverified internet suggestions of a "slur."
"Goodbye" is an alteration of "God be with you"; "good" in greetings like "good morning" has separate origins unrelated to "God."

There'll be plenty of other differences between a Weiser administration and the current one, but I think it continues to be quite underrated that one of the clearest policy/governance changes he's promised is to be *more* solicitous of the views of these people than *Jared Polis* has been.

Even Weiser partially echoed that concern, arguing that state government is in need of “culture changes” when it comes to listening to the business community.

“When you have a state where one party has control, you lose what (former Gov.) Roy Romer brought intensely to every conversation, which is, ‘What part of the truth am I missing?'” Weiser said.

“When you have a regulatory policy conversation and the people who would be affected by the regulation are not at the table, you’re not positioned to make good public policy,” he continued. “You’re talking about regulations that went from an anecdote to a proposed bill to enacted and then signed, and the people who the law would have affected felt like they never had a chance to be heard.”

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Magistrate Judge Cyrus Chung of Colorado frees a noncitizen who ICE unlawfully arrested without a warrant. Those arrests require probable cause that someone is likely to escape before ICE can get a warrant. But the man was *in jail* and, one would assume, not likely to escape.

Here, the petitioner’s arrest lacked a lawful basis. His arrest does not comply with
section 1226(a) and the corresponding regulations because ICE did not issue an NTA or
warrant prior to his arrest. See, e.g., Quezada-Estrada, 2026 WL 1361880, at *5; MartinezSalamanca v. Baltazar, No. 26-cv-02410-PAB, 2026 WL 2083209, at *3–4 (D. Colo. July
20, 2026). And the respondents “have not provided any argument or set forth any evidence
indicating that petitioner’s warrantless arrest was proper under § 1357” and 8 C.F.R. §
287.8(c)(2). Martinez-Salamanca, 2026 WL 2083209, at *4. Nor could they. ICE
“encountered” the petitioner while he was being held by the Mesa County police. ECF No.
11 at 2. The circumstances of his arrest show that he was not likely to escape before a
warrant could be obtained because he was released to ICE from state custody. See, e.g.,

DoorDash seems to not care that ICE agents are shooting their workers while they on the job. Community members are the ones who have gotten Wilber medical attention in detention and legal support — without a single shred of help from this multibillion dollar corporation profiting off his labor.

An NBC News article reads: “Garcés Perez, who Lincoln-Goldfinch said lives in Austin, is a DoorDash driver. In an email, a company spokesperson confirmed Garcés Perez was making a delivery at the time, adding that DoorDash is investigating and would not release more information “at this time.””

NEWS: Donald Trump’s own nephew, Fred Trump, is publicly calling out his uncle’s lies about 9/11, saying Trump’s claim that he brought a crew of workers to Ground Zero “so offends me that I need to speak out.”

Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X from Fred Trump (@FredTrump_) that reads:

“There are two reports out today that relate to the tragedy of 9/11. I will comment on them today because doing so on the 25th anniversary this Friday would take away from the solemn memories. I try not to comment personally about my uncle, but his claim that he brought a crew of workers to help at the sight so offends me that I need to speak out. He was not building a “big building “ at the time. The only crew he claimed to bring to the site would have been secretarial and accounting employees from Trump Tower I knew many of them, and pretty sure they were not capable physically to help (if they could, I am sure they would try). Regarding the US Steel Building, ironically, the grandfather of a very close friend of mine was one of the original engineers- the bldg was built strong. Second, the brother of a partner of mine was an engineer that was immediately called to perform an inspection. While people were originally concerned, it was eventually cleared for occupancy- not creaking and ready to fall. I hope this brings some truth to that story. The second story will follow.
