@howie_hua 50 + 26. Add 2, subtract 2. I picked 50 because it’s a benchmark number.

It's Mental Math Monday! What's the first method you think of when you have to mentally calculate 28+48?

THIS IS THE BEST OF HUMANITY At the 2026 Boston Marathon, runners Aaron Beggs (from Northern Ireland/Britain) and Robson De Oliveira (from Brazil) stop to help fellow competitor Ajay Haridasse cross the finish line after he collapsed near the 26-mile mark

The Baltimore Ravens just drafted this guy in the 1st round yesterday. Here’s why.

He came back to say thank you.. 🥺

Add 1 line and make this equation correct: 𝟱 + 𝟱 + 𝟱 = 𝟱𝟱𝟬 The answer is in the video

Snails on a train! Thank you @smerconish youtube.com/watch?v=rEt9zY…

@howie_hua I know that 48 +52 is 100. So I thought…up 52, up 100, up 26: or 52 + 26 + 100=178

It's Mental Math Monday! Wisconsin became a state in 1848. How would you mentally calculate how old it is as a state in 2026?

What is this math homework asking for?

I could not agree more!

Has transparency led politicians to just start preening for the cameras? @sarahmisgur, author of Last Branch Standing, a new book on the Supreme Court, joins us on the new episode of The Fifth Column, available only for Substack members.

@TheView @JonahDispatch @whignewtons @whignewtons, you were awesome in this interview, as always. Got your book yesterday and can’t wait to read it!!

From Pres. Trump's battle over birthright citizenship to what was behind Pam Bondi's firing, ABC News legal analyst and 'Last Branch Standing' author Sarah Isgur (@whignewtons) breaks it down.

Absolute legend.

@whignewtons I can’t wait to read your book. It arrived today!! ❤️

About to go on!!!

"What this case is really about: the attempt by the Secretary of Defense to dictate the information received by the American people, to control the message so that the public hears and sees only what the Secretary and the Trump Administration want them to hear and see." x.com/jeremymbarr/st…

@whignewtons I’ve read most of these. I will say that Frannie and Zooey, Slaughterhouse Five, and 1984 were all in my top 10 faves. ❤️
