🚨WATCH: An Ohio councilman who recently became a U.S. citizen opposes saying the Pledge of Allegiance at meetings, claiming it was shaped by "anti-immigrant sentiment." Athens City Councilman Paul Isherwood, who gained his citizenship only a few years ago, called the history of the pledge "strange" at a council meeting Monday, citing its reference to religion. Councilman Michael Wood also opposed reciting the pledge at meetings in part because of the "current administration," calling it "performative" and citing conflict with his Quaker faith.

Bombshell: Oliver Sacks (a humane man & a fine essayist) made up many of the details in his famous case studies, deluding neuroscientists, psychologists, & general readers for decades. The man who mistook his wife for a hat? The autistic twins who generated multi-digit prime numbers? The institutionalized, paralyzed man who tapped out allusions to Rilke? Made up to embellish the stories. Probably also: the aphasic patients who detected lies better than neurologically intact people, including Ronald Reagan's insincerity. newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…
