So I edited this story. And I wanna share on thought on language, & telling the truth We talked about: the "government is lying to you" It may sound saucy. It may sound like opinion But it's just true And if something is true then you should just say it, clearly That's just good journalism

Sloppy thinking and writing like this would get me massacred as a scholar in peer review or among my academic colleagues. But I am not a Supreme Court justice, you see. Alito has no shame.

You may know that #OTD in 1969, a sketch comedy show premiered on BBC1: Monty Python’s Flying Circus What you may not know is the odd, original show was greenlit by the BBC programming director: David Attenborough.

So fuc*ing infuriating and sad. The CDC used to be the crown jewel of the world's scientific firmament. Other countries came to us for help fighting deadly diseases. Its disease detectives learned what caused illness and helped change practices to prevent them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

#OTD in 1966, a new show premiered on NBC. It showed us about scientific exploration, leadership, friendship and courage set in a diverse and multicultural universe. It became a beacon for what the future could be like.

Pershing called them the “Iron Brigade” for their valor in World War I. The 28th Infantry Division had roots going back to Benjamin Franklin’s militia. And #OTD in 1944, after fighting through the German army in northern France, they marched down the Champs-Elysée before cheering Parisians.

It’s David Crosby’s birthday. He would have been 85. I saw him perform twice in the last decade. His voice was bright and clear and his shows were terrific. This is an old photo of Croz jamming with his friends. Joni Mitchell is the silhouette. Graham Nash took the photo.
