Random debate idea I thought of last night: Each candidate’s mic is only on for their alotted time by default, but they each have a 5 minute pool of time they can “spend” in 30 second increments by pushing a button to extend the mic’s live time.

"Dear passengers, please note that you must remove your face masks before putting on the oxygen masks" is the most 2020 phrase ever.

Lots of good plagiarism news in my life rn but nothing tops The Browser’s slogan being “plagiarized” from description I told them 11yo gave of them to 6yo.
Please don’t pay their ridiculously low subscription price bc I like pretending I found all the best online writing myself.

Binge every issue the way you would your favorite Netflix show.
Buy your family or best friend or company a subscription.
Buy all the books too, esp "Diary of a Bad Year" and "No Regrets".
