For the cost of one Harvard Professor of the Constitution Only Applies to White People, you could endow 10 professorships of any less commonly taught language at any university in the USA
One should note that after the New Originals became the Thamesmen, their big hit was "Gimme Some Money," so yes, very on-the-nose.

Right about now I'm envisioning a Very Special episode of "Ow My Balls"

This man is still serving in Congress with the support of Mike Johnson.
It was vital that the media report on the fact that Joe Biden was tested for Parkinson's disease. Here's why the media is right to ignore the fact that a clearly incapacitated Donald Trump disappears for four days each month only to reappear with severe bruising on his hand.
Still from Singles (1992) showing Kyra Sedgwick in front of a poster for the proposed Seattle Supertrain.
Sorry man, but this stuff has been going down since at least the 90's.
Haha, how do you know Paul is not a closet industrial guy?
NIN and Ministry (NWO era) were my jam as an Assistant Prof, and I would blast it in my office on weekends working on grant applications.

Oh shit, I was totally this guy back in the 80's. And for the record, Du Hast is absolutely appropriate for kinetics measurements.

When making tostadas, why not also make some homemade tortilla chips?
![“When Bill Withers showed up,” Halverson says, “he comes walking in with his guitar and a straight-back chair, like a dining room chair, and asks, ‘Where do I set up?’ I showed him right in the middle of the room, and then he left and he came back in with this platform, a kind of wooden box that didn’t have a bottom. It was about four inches tall, and was maybe 3 foot by 4 foot; it was a fairly large platform, and he set it down in the middle of the room. Then he put his chair on it and got his guitar out, and he’s sitting on top of this box. So I miked him and I miked his guitar, and then I was doing other things—getting sounds together.
“But then he calls me over and he points down to the box and says, ‘You gotta mike the box.’ Well, the way I was trained, you serve the artist, whatever the artist needs. So I got a couple other mics and I miked the box, the place down near the floor, next to this platform.
“And now, when you listen to ‘Ain’t No Sunshine,’ you know that all that tapping that goes on [while Withers sings] ‘I know I know I know’ all through it, actually, that’s him tapping his feet on the box, which is actually more intricate than the guitar on that track. He had evidently rehearsed that in his living room, maybe for years.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vtqkh4q3vlh7rltd4tnaweh2/bafkreig3codqyfxdi2er2sqqri34kumkg2izjo4k7gtxp6pfipsxyx3yxe)

Final scene from Before Sunset, with Celine saying, "Baby, you're gonna miss that plane," and Jesse saying "I know."
Had fun watching this old banger last night.
If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today.
That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right
Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.
"When will..." or "When did..."?
Yes, why not stand out a little bit?
