Yeah, then there's texts of Don Jr. saying how the greater glory of America depends on the contents of my wallet. I often wonder what thing did I sign up for that gave them my number.

I just got a call from a number I didn't recognize from WI, which turned out to be an important other-work phone call. On the other hand, I tend to block and report as spam text message surveys.

I sort of wish they'd stop referring to players as "weapons." Maybe the martiality of football seems a tad off-putting, but that may be just a me thing.

Maybe history or mislearning of history? Maybe the popular image of the Federalists and anti-federalists is learned as more formalized than the coalition they were. Or learning of the Whigs and antebellum parties or machines make the parties in imagination seem more formalized than pick-up teams?
