Trump: Bombardierungen fortsetzen, bis Frieden herrscht
I have no particular insights into the Iran war, so I’ll mostly listen and learn – but this header from German public service news seems to be the perfect summary of the depth of US strategising so far:

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it.
Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

I tell my journalism students specifically not to do this. It's a hack move to make people sound dumb. Everyone talks like this — with the exception of maybe Pete Buttigieg — and it's an editorial choice to leave the little filler words in there.

I have no idea what's going on but I am happy that this is making the worst people in the world very angry.

An NLI fallout I wasn’t ready for: seeing players’ hometowns listed instead of their colleges. I actually dig it. #superbowl

Approximately.
Hold (unless you can hold it with your hands).
Around, when describing estimates. “About” is for estimates, “around” is for spatial alignment.
Backwards, forwards, towards (drop the s!). Amidst, amongst (drop the st!).

Amazon spent $75 million for MELANIA, a hagiomentary that will likely incur $60 million in losses even after a robust box office.
Jeff Bezos is willing to lose money on media, just a certain kind of media
sports coverage is not about box scores anymore. it's about power and politics and corruption and sovereign wealth and real estate and the use of taxpayer money and the most publicized labor disputes in the country and yes, sometimes about ball go in hoop

The ALCS-bloody-sock-to-right-wing-nut correlation is too damn high. All I need now is to play in the ALCS (and do so tonight) and I can reset that math… Seems possible.
I mean, this tiger was huge! But I went “pspsps” and after that everything was OK. 🙃
