  8. From Monday: Texas is 1 of 5 states with “resign-to-run” laws, which force some officials to give up their current seat before they can run for a new one. But notably, state officials are exempt, so, under the seal of the State of #Texas, Ken Paxton is free to take swings at his opponents. texasobserver.org/ken-paxton-a

  13. PLUCK. Courage. He wants pluck: he is a coward. Against the pluck; against the inclination. Pluck the Ribbon; ring the bell. To pluck a crow with one; to settle a dispute, to reprove one for some past transgression.

    A selection from Francis Grose’s “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue” (1785)

  17. Why call it agentic when that definition doesn’t match the original meaning at all?
    I think it’s a dogwhistle for the Epstein class, for the ‘new world order’ authoritarian power class & investors. I think it reveals exactly what it is designed for & in PR pretends to a utility it doesn’t actually provide, while actually naming it by its real utility - disrupting every workplace, democracy & human rights to impose tyranny & our servitude and obedience.

  18. @DrMcStrange I just dug in a little deeper: it appears that the first Russian rail terminal in St Petersburg in the 1830s had a pleasure garden (a "Vauxhall") attached to it to entice vistors.

    People ended up using the word to describe the whole terminal complex rather than just the pleasure garden, then it was downcoded to a generic eponym for other terminals as the rail lines spread through the Tsarist Empire (much as any periodic thermal spring is called a "geyser" in English, after Geysir in Iceland).

    Ми переможемо тоді, коли наша мова нарешті стане нашою зброєю і, відповідно, захистом.
