  His job is U.S. Senator, which he holds because he received the most votes from the state of New York. “Senate Minority Leader” is a position he holds because no one else wants it. It’s not a Constitutional position, like Speaker of the House or President of the Senate, and the U.S. Senate is a house of equals. Being “minority leader”bestows no added power, only responsibility for representing his party when negotiating with the other party. If another Senate Democrat wants to be responsible for negotiating with a senile man-child, they can call for a vote whenever the minority caucus meets.

  “Wherever you get your podcasts” should mean an audio version is available on a public RSS feed that any podcast service, web player, or RSS reader can receive. Spotify and Apple Podcasts are the most commonly advertised because they cover the vast majority of listeners, while the rest are divided among a dozen other sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Jeopardy, does getting the Who/What/Where/When/Why part of the response necessary?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only hard rule is that it be phrased as a question, which implies the rest of the phrasing is irrelevant as long as the answer is in the question. In your example, “Who is the Eiffel Tower?”describes it incorrectly but correctly names the tower and should be accepted, but “What is that famous tower in Paris, France?” describes the correct answer but is missing the critical answer and should not be accepted. Also, who/what/etc. is not required to be part of the question.

  What’s … in a question? The rules state, “…all contestant responses to an answer must be phrased in the form of a question.” It’s that simple. Jeopardy! doesn’t require that the response is grammatically correct. Further, the three-letter name of a British Invasion rock band can be a correct response all by itself (“The Who?”), and even “Is it…?” has been accepted. So, Matt Amodio’s no-frills approach is unique but well with guidelines. jeopardy.com/…/what-are-some-questions-about-jeop…

  Rest of him couldn’t fit.

  AI and operator cannot hold copyright to AI produced material, but that does not mean running copyright-protected material through AI removes the original copyright.

  I don’t see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind.

  No, that’s Bruce’s replacement.

  From small mushroom to large extra pepperoni, we got what you want at Pizza Dick.

  We literally had Impossible Whoppers today because they’re good, can be veganized (reasonably), and we lost our local BKs. There’s one near a store we visit every few months. Puts a hard limit on the amount we can eat.

  I also would not hire a white man to play the new Psylocke. No context quotes mean we get to insert our own, right?

  I’ve gone anti-nostalgia since the Star Wars sequels. I might catch Afterlife and Frozen Empire after they hit streaming, but I’m in no rush.
