We brought it on ourselves! The $5K vote!
I'm starting to think we won't all be getting $5000 checks.

A good man!
Let’s give this a try, folks. Doing an AMA on Reddit (r/IamA) on Thursday at 11am ET. Feel free to ask about craigslist, cybersecurity, supporting veterans and more. Pigeon questions also accepted. reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1…

This now bizarrely greets us as we get our passports checked for Eurostar in London. And do these chumps not actually know what omitting the hyphen means? counterterrorism.police.uk/c…

I thought you might be interested to see this somewhat tongue-in-cheek oped in The Hill on Koop as an influencer - since Trump has nominated one such as SG! (PS - I hope you've read my Koop biography by now.) thehill.com/opinion/healthca…

Ouch. Here's my idea: Let's have schools. Maybe parents too?
Children's reading falls to all time low. The post-literate society is well on its way

Just in case you've yet to buy my biography of former US Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, plus copies for all your friends and neighbors, here's a reminder! "The definitive biography for decades to come," per historian Randall Balmer.

Exactly. Like private healthcare, private schools subsidize the state. In fiscal terms it's voluntary taxation.
No country in Europe taxes education. Independent schools lift burden from state sector and provide centres of excellence which, if arranged properly, are shared. Fees from wealthy are used for bursaries - so more redistribution. No one loses. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/09…

Quite something, the Russian rhetoric. I mean, after almost two years of "defeats" you'd think Kiev would be, like, defeated, wouldn't you?
#Volgarev: The more defeats the #Kievregime has on the battlefield, the more aggressive becomes the rhetoric of its sponsors. Their anti-Russian reckless schemes and attempts to use #Ukraine to destabilize socio-political situation in 🇷🇺#Russia failed from very beginning

Now, that is a REALLY interesting meaning for "complete failure," involving the checking of the world's second largest army and the destruction of much of its materiel in a war Russia had planned to win in weeks.
🎙 FM #Lavrov at a UNSC meeting on Ukraine: 💬 Despite the complete failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield, the Western patrons of the Kiev regime continue to push it, like maniacs, to continue this meaningless military confrontation. t.me/MFARussia/18832

I've some sympathy for this lady, since academics always make mistakes. But how she can live with herself drawing a salary as Prez of Harvard is beyond me. Harvard president will update dissertation after plagiarism allegations wapo.st/3RSnVTm
