I’ll be playing @hayday on mute for the foreseeable future until they get rid of this awful song and restore the default music. Literally nobody had a problem with the theme music that has carried the game throughout its entire existence.

In "The Odyssey" (2026), Odysseus speaks with a Boston accent, despite being from Ithaca, which is in New York.

In the Gospel of Wealth, Andrew Carnegie claimed that he could allocate money for the betterment of society better than Congress. Congress can’t even figure out how to allocate money for essential government operations. I think Carnegie had a point.

I got to the ATL airport four hours before my flight but spent just 15 minutes in the security line thanks to the @ICEgov agents who stepped up and helped scan IDs. Experienced nothing but courtesy and professionalism from them.

Did you know the Duke of Wellington lived long enough to be photographed? This image, taken in 1844, captures Arthur Wellesley, the hero of Waterloo, in one of the earliest photographs ever taken.

The president’s inaugural address sounded a bit more like a State of the Union address than an inaugural address — much more concerned with communicating policy goals for today than the speech living on for posterity.

I never thought I’d hear the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 invoked during a president’s inaugural address. Granted, the Alien Enemies Act was the most benign of that legislative package (and is still on the books today), but still… 😂

Notice that President Trump is wearing a purple tie today (he wore a red tie to his first inauguration). It signals that his second inaugural address is intended to have a unifying tone.
