I've never heard this song, but it can be sung to the tune of Folsom prison

On behalf of the American Museum of Natural History, Berthold Laufer (1874–1934) undertook the Jacob H. Schiff expedition (1901–1904), sending him to China to "carry out scientific investigations in Eastern Asia" (Berthold Laufer to Franz Boas, 7 January 1900) and to make "collections which illustrate the popular customs and beliefs of the Chinese, their industries, and their mode of life" (Franz Boas to Morris Ketchum Jesup, 27 December 1902). Along with amassing a collection of Chinese objects, Laufer acquired approximately 143 photographic prints and a list of associated captions. There is no record where or when Laufer acquired these photographs. There is also no record of Laufer having taken any himself and several photographs are known to be widely-distributed images available for purchase at the time.

Also, "not provably false" isn't a thing that should ever be a metric for any claim.

The article allows the dad to speak in his own defense, then ever so casually sprinkles in bits of evidence that dad was a shitbag that likely led to his instability. It's art.

His son, he said, ended up graduating with honors from Yucca Valley High School. Richard Bartkus did not attend the graduation.

I wonder how many people when on an unnecessary quotation marks deep dive after that post.

It's true in a sense that you can find examples of big companies and chains using them in such a way, even in national advertising and on products.

It was never part of any written standards to be used that way. But this situation counts more as communicating than language, and communication is whatever the people want it to be.

I think it comes down to people in any of the situations to make these decisions were never academics.

Haha

I meant more like they gain political clout and their polling numbers go up among voters when their people see the clip of them standing up to trump. The clip with a catchy verb in all caps
