We had a curriculum in school identifying different types of propaganda in advertising. They had us bring in ads from magazines and sort through how they were trying to sell us things. Likewise, I can't imagine that still being taught today. Seems like it would be one of the first casualties of the modern American way of defunding education.

What do you feel like it tells you about them?

These are all good points. We should also be vigilant, as you highlight, but especially because of the lower court appointees, board of election positions, and others that have been packed with bad faith actors preparing for this moment. It's McConnell's last hurrah.

Have they tried holding down the handle until it's done flushing?

Probably a good idea if you tend to drunkenly break into homes in the middle of the night

You consider that "the most hateful kind"? Internet responses, really? Toughen up buttercup. Other people can run their mouth just as much as you. Don't be so fragile.

Maybe but might be a stretch. Defenestration refers to the act of throwing someone/something out of a window. We have to consider the pressure "throwing" instead of sucking you out, which might be acceptable since the pressure inside the plane is greater and ends up pushing you out of the window in it's escape. From the perspective that you're sucked out of the window, it doesn't seem like the definition would apply.

I loved my discman, but remember trying to pretend like it wasn't skipping with every bodily movement? That's the advantage the walkman had that we didn't want to admit at the time
