We could use that hashtag.
On Weibo, China’s dominant social media platform, the hashtag “Trump suffered a complete and utter defeat” was trending as results were announced.

What sort of monster would send me “Important Health Information” bulk rate?

Me (giving empty electrolyte supplement to my wife to carry back to the kitchen): I had foot cramps in the night last night.
Jackie: You had [mumble mumble]?
Me: Foot cramps.
Jackie: Oh. Okay. That makes sense. I thought you said foot prints.
Me: You mean, like foot prints at a murder scene?
Jackie: I hadn’t thought of that. I was thinking maybe muddy footprints on the carpet.

Normally I want to respond to every report that suggests that cannabis has very few studies backing up its effectiveness to point out, “That’s because doing such a study was illegal for most of the past century.” But this time I’ll just say, “Point to a few approved drugs with ‘real benefits’ that aren’t ‘limited to only a few conditions.'”
A major review finds medical cannabis widely overestimated and potentially risky, with real benefits limited to only a few conditions.

I often hear walks described as preprandial or postprandial, but I never hear meals described as prepromenadal or postpromenadal.
What’s up with that?

My brother @stevendbrewer, (who shared this with me) and I are not AI natives, or even AI immigrants. I guess we’re AI foreigners. Maybe AI refugees.
(My brother warns me “People get offended when you say ‘refugee,'” so I was all, “Ooh! I’ll post that immediately!” He claims to be more an AI refusenik, while suggesting that I’m more AI-curious.)
Oh, the humanities!

My brother just got email asking if he’d ever thought about upgrading his website with “an engaging video to explain what you do?”
My reply was:
Ooh! An engaging video!! I never thought of that!
I figured I’d go with either a tedious video or an annoying one.
That’s what everybody else does.
Steven pointed out, “I don’t think a video that actually explains what I do would be very engaging.”
Crowne Plaza O’Hare Garden Patio
Have you ever seen a more pleasant garden spot than this sterile bit of lawn, concrete, and pavers at the Crowne Plaza O’Hare? There is no seating at all. There are some walls you can sit on, if you’re reasonably tall, but even the lowest bit of wall is too tall for me to balance a laptop on my knees.
I did find one cigarette butt, so I know the space does not go completely unused.

Okay, I’m going to tag this “allegedly funny,” because that’s the tag I’ve got for this sorta stuff. But this is legit funny:
Instead, FEMA staff have been encouraged to use terms like “freezing rain” in their public messaging, the sources said.
