Decades have passed, but my high school GPA still stings.
Therefore, I am suing every teacher who gave me a B-minus or C+ along with the principal and head janitor who promised to take care of it – at Chicago, IL
BREAKING
President Trump says he is going to sue The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Rupert Murdoch for the Jeffrey Epstein story they just published.
The president says that Murdoch promised to “take care of it,” but Murdoch has a history of not interfering in the WSJ’s editorial decisions.*
Famously, when Elizabeth Holmes asked him to shut down the WSJ’s reporting on Theranos, Murdoch, despite having invested $100 million in Theranos, refused.
*Murdoch doesn’t interfere in the WSJ’s editorial decisions but does take a strong hand with the opinion pages of his news publications and, more broadly, with papers like the New York Post.

Been thinking back on some amazing, if more obscure, concerts I’ve attended decades ago. Wishing I had it all tracked in @setlistfm or some place.
Loftus, with Orso at Metro Cafe in Washington, D.C. circa 2000. These are Califone/Pullman/Red Red Meat-adjacent bands.
Anyone? – at Chicago, IL
Just what we want. Shut em down and we'll see a home run derby tiebreaker #AllStarGame – at Chicago, IL

Just a year ago, the U.S. was better at predicting storms’ tracks than it had ever been. But now, @ZoeSchlanger reports, the country is rapidly losing state-of-the-art forecasting, just in time for hurricane season’s busiest months: theatlantic.com/science/arch…
