This seems completely made up. Like, it's a thing you tell the new hire at the baseball stadium, to prank them into rubbing mud on dozens of baseballs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basebal...

What makes Canadian national treasure Michael deAdder more than a superb political artist is his ability to penetrate language to find deeply insightful analogies, metaphors, or wordplay!

If Jared Kushner paid €110m to buy an island in Albania that has no fresh water from a guy who did not own it, it would help explain why his negotiations with Iran on behalf of the US have not been entirely successful

🪼 Your tax dollars paid a scientist to squeeze jellyfish through cheesecloth. Osamu Shimomura processed tens of thousands on an NSF grant to understand why they glow. He found a protein that glowed green under UV light. Called it "green protein." Nobody cared. For decades.

It's fairly difficult to screw up the design of something as simple as a garden hose washer. But a good way to do it, is to completely disregard the entire purpose of the thing, and put your raised logo on not just one but BOTH of the sealing surfaces. #Yardworks

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.
Replying to 
@JenniferJJacobs
The shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House Correspondents Association dinner was. 
I don't think people hearing about this -- or even those of us in the room -- realized how far from the president, VP and other guests this incident was. It was on another floor, up some stairs and several sets of security away. 
Because the Washington Hilton's hotel and other public spaces were open for other functions, the entire building wasn't secured by the Secret Service, just the specific areas where the WHCA dinner was held, law enforcement officials told @CBSNews
.

CBC trying to put up key points from the speech in text. This is pointless. It's all BS. "Gas price as low as 2.20" "No wait gas as low as 1.90 in some places" "Magnets will be destroyed by water" "Everything is going amazingly well, because of me, but it's all terrible and that's not my fault"

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, passed away today from cancer. Despite what he later became, he was an enormous inspiration to me, and I think a lot of the comedic flow I do still derives from him.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”
