that is clearly not what he was saying. ms gill & mr griffin should know better by now as to parsing tfg’s statements & should know better in general than to flog such incendiary nonsense. both might not care, in specific case, but risk squandering hard won credibility.

wait til you get to the libertine & yet old school paternalistic … sexual politics, explicit & implicit. just in that book, which might tend to the interesting end of a spectrum that delves deep into cringe & worse across the oeuvre.

Why might Hegseth be using this tactic? First, it distracts ppl from his ideological messaging; pundits might be inclined to tune out his inflammatory statements and focus on his reasonable-ish policies. 9/

when bronze age civilizations invented artificial intelligence there was debate over what to call it too. they opted to refer to it as “c people” the c evidently indicating its synthetic origin, and each civilization rushed to adopt and deploy the tech.

this doesn’t actually make any sense
The Kennedy Center has held used Steinway piano sales in the past, so AlterNet reached out to Jenny at Steinway in Washington D.C. to ask if the sale was happening again this year. She explained that it would not, as the Kennedy Center had closed.
She said the shop owner intends to retire and close, so they're selling all their pianos at a heavy discount. With the Kennedy Center closed, the shop is also moving all the Steinways to offer for sale. AlterNet asked why the Kennedy Center would need to sell everything, and she made it clear that it was because it was "closed." She
referred all other questions to the Kennedy Center.
