NYT on Feb. 13, 2026: The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises. Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response. “I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.

NYT on March 26, 2026: Mr. Trump is correct that Sharpies are cheaper, but he overstated the cost of past presidential writing instruments. (Whether Sharpies are better is in the eye of the penholder.) A.T. Cross, which is based in Rhode Island, said it had manufactured the penspreferred by Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, all of whom used the Townsend model. The pen, described by Cross as possessing a “bold profile, intricate detailing and superior writing performance,” now retails for about $200. (The classic black version costs about $265.) President Joseph R. Biden Jr. preferredCross’s Century II model, which the company says brings “modern flair to a time-honored design.” That model is slightly less expensive, ranging from $99 to $270 a pen. Luxury pen enthusiasts, it should be noted, often describe Cross pens as relatively affordable alternatives to other famous pens made by Montblanc and Nakaya, which can retail for over $1,000.

NYT quoting AOC when she says “um”: This dumb girl can’t talk

NYT quoting Trump after sticking a fork up his nose into his brain and rambling about sharpie pens: Doth thine lion howl with instincts known not learned by man, or sound his sonorous roar as prophecy to gaze back upon history itself?

i do really enjoy that on the absolutely most granular level nobody knows how teaching and learning actually happens. you just expose your mind to the material several times, ideally from several different angles, and eventually a miracle occurs.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Another comparison I like is with a fruit tree: if someone wants to grow fruit and tries to cut all the roots from a fruit tree because no fruits grow on those parts, they are in for a surprise.

I'm sorry but I can't help myself: the best fruit discourse is poisoned by conflating "average one you get at the grocery store" with "best you've ever had.". The classic example is peach, the average grocery store peach is dogshit and the best you've ever had is a transcendent experience

I wish professors would stop trying to "obfuscate" their email on their webpages. Bots can obviously figure it out (and in any case the department directory has probably always listed the full email) so the only effect is it annoys humans trying to contact them.

The phone is for making posts like "the ass is the father of the legs" whereas the computer is for posts that include words like "inexorably"
