that is covered in the history books tho? it’s cited as the biggest fault of the johnson administration, the impetus for the war powers act, an entry point to introducing the topic of counterculture in the textbook (flower power, anti-war, peace sign, Kent State…), and the progenitor of distrust in the government, after all

politicians can simultaneously believe that a course of action is best and that the people wouldn’t vote for it

or it could be that not being up for re-election increases the chances of voting to reopen because they are not beholden to the electorate anymore. ergo propter hoc, anyone?

It has a clear storytelling purpose of having the reader eagerly wait to hear whom it was that he taught (who is this mysterious student?), and conveys the irony that something so seemingly everyday can be so important.

Optimizing every single sentence equally for efficiency makes dull writing, and if that’s what you want, you might want to use a summarizer.

Geoffrey Skelly, an analyst for Decision Desk HQ, responded on X: “If Kentucky had just remained part of Virginia in 1789, voters there could be voting for #VAGov right now. Their loss.”

you wouldn’t look like that, you’d just be really dead

the inclusion of nothing phone in the lineup makes me unsure what op is looking for so i just assumed they was looking for general phone recommendations lol

the xiaomi 17 pro is getting a lot of hype for its display on the back, and this is the company well known for emulating an apple feel quite well on android… and being Chinese

nothing phone: are you aware that the nothing phone 3 got rid of the glyph interface?

i’m surprised that the fediverse manifestation here has not recommended the fairphone yet

It made them showerthink about schools?

there isn’t worse‽

That’s just orthography; the letters and words didn’t exist, which is unrelated to whether the things they represent did. There was in fact a judge, a January, and a Julius Caesar in Rome.

I’m sorry, who the heck made the PRC stars white‽

an example is provided in the PR’s before/after
