I think we need to be honest about the actual context and meaning. We've seen what happens when presidents lose the election and refuse to concede. It happened with Bush Jr, and it happened with Trump. When Joe tells us that he wouldn't do what they did, we shouldn't be upset at his honesty. We should be happy that he's not evil.

We should take pride in what we do and create and believe in, not where we live. I'm happy that many Americans are realizing that there are many bad aspects of the country, and that it's OK to admit that.

The timing is so cringe. They all knew how old he was a year ago. Now, after one sad event, the sky is falling? Come on now. Quit grandstanding, my guys.

I think that day has long since passed. Blogs don't show up on search results anymore unless you're amazing and lucky, which I'm not. Meh. :-)

By that standard, as long as the Republicans push a shitty candidate, voters have no choice but to pick the Democrat. Gotta do better than that if you wanna sway people's actions on election day.

Politics is always biased. That's the point of it. There is no strictly objective reporting that has any meaning.

Polarizing is not a problem. Trump is polarizing.

Jesus. How could locking up homeless folk make things better? The headline is bad, and the article is not informative.

Good. Patriotism goes hand in hand with nationalism, xenophobia, and racism. How could it possibly not?

This wasn't SCOTUS. They would agree, but this was not them.

It's an interesting situation. YouTube needs us more than we need YouTube.

Wow, the yoga example in the article is exactly why noncompetes are terrible. For those who didn't read... A yoga studio owner didn't like it when former employees opened up their own yoga studio nearby. So she added noncompete clauses to future contracts. In other words, she's too inept to compete on delivering a quality product.

Can you think of any titles from real journal articles or essays that are eye-catching?

I'm writing a document for high school students taking an English writing class, and rather than create my own examples, why not use real ones? Several of my students have expressed frustration, and I have some guidelines and brainstorming tools, but what I don't have are two dozen neat examples.

OSAKA – An American man known for streaming provocative videos has been arrested on suspicion of breaking into a construction site in Osaka, police said Friday.

Ramsey Khalid Ismael, 23, known as "Johnny Somali" on YouTube, was arrested with another American, Jeremiah Dwane Branch, 24, who says he is a university student, according to police.

Ismael's videos include those in which he makes light of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and makes racist comments about Japanese people.

The two men allegedly made an unauthorized entry into a hotel construction site in Osaka's Chuo Ward on Aug. 30 with Branch filming a masked Ismael at the scene, according to the police.

They have told police they will not speak until they see lawyers, police said.
