First president in 28 years to not serve a second term. First president in 45 years not to release any of his tax returns. First president in 89 years to lose the presidency, the House and the Senate in a single term. First president in 102 years to allow more than 120,000 Americans to die in a single virus outbreak. First president in 129 years to lose the popular vote twice. First president in 152 years to boycott his successors inauguration. First president ever to fail to hit a 50% approval rating at any point during their presidency. First president ever to be elected with the help of a foreign nation. First president ever to be impeached twice. First president ever to have a member of their own party vote for conviction in an impeachment trial. First president ever to have an arrest warrant issued against him by a foreign nation. First president ever to refuse to concede defeat. First president to be banned from social media. First president to refuse to ensure the peaceful transfer of power. First president to have their home searched for official national security documents. First former president found liable of sexual abuse, defamation & business fraud. First former president criminally indicted (also the second, third and fourth). First former president with a mugshot. First former president to await a jury’s verdict as the defendant in a criminal trial. So many firsts, so much winning. He must be sick of it.

Replying to @sirswampthing @AFL
I’ve been thinking about this and even though it’s a fun stat, how do other teams compare over the same timeframe (in fact from 2000)? I know that’s a lot of work but just curious.

Ginnivan may have changed jumper colours, but the umpires haven't changed and neither have I. He is deliberately lowering into contact, with the intention of drawing high contact. This should NOT be a FK. He's been correctly umpired today. #AFL #AFL360 #AFLHawksCats

Great article and applicable to so many fields of life - we are sacrificing diversity, unpredictability, breadth of possibilities for “formulaic symmetry” and familiarity… theatlantic.com/newsletters/…

I suspect the ABC has misread its audience. If you want wall to wall royalty you can get it elsewhere in spades. The ABC is better when it offers an alternative to populism.

I have spoken with my good friend John Barilaro and he accepts that he was not qualified for the New York trade ambassador role I wish him all the best in his next endeavour, as he applies for a role as a NASA rocket scientist
