America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

BREAKING: Awesome new footage shows Barack and Michelle Obama rocking out with Bruce Springsteen. This is sure to upset Donald Trump.
While speaking to the West Point graduating class, Trump said, "No one wanted to join the military under Biden".
Everyone in that graduating class started their training during the Biden administration.
Donald Trump is an idiot.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

This was one of the stupidest “controversies” I can remember. I cannot figure out why WaPo chose to ask a 24 year old about this either. I’m not against a 24 year old having opinions, but that seemed to be their main qualification. Pretty much everyone who has been 24 and is now older knows that new college grads have no idea what they’re talking about regarding restaurants. That said, I do enjoy the throwback to truly stupid controversies vs. “are we in a capitalist hellscape” (no) controversies.
> If the menu is built around shared plates, someone needs to be in charge.
There are some places where this works, but it’s far fewer than the number of places that tell you to do this. It’s my biggest eating out pet peeve. I am extremely good at ordering the food I want to eat, in the quantity I want to eat it in, and I would almost never prefer one serving of 5 things to 5 servings of the best thing. If you ask me if I want to share plates, the answer is no and you should just get better at ordering yourself. Dessert is the only exception, but only because I usually try to limit myself to one bite of the best thing.
