A giraffe named Gracie escaped in Texas. No one can seem to find her
It may be disguised. Look for a very tall horse. Or a regular sized horse with a very large top hat. 🎩

Both are called football because they’re played on foot, as opposed to on horseback. Both were called that because people who couldn’t afford horses were using polo fields to play Society football (soccer) or Rugby football (American football).
It has nothing to do with how the ball is handled/kicked.

Yes. According to history people, the first time the word football was used was in some elitist college newspaper, complaining about people playing lowly “foot-ball games” on their horse polo fields.

Look at it this way: Brutalist buildings are more “honest.”
All modern buildings are brutalist (reinforced concrete, bare materials) until their glass / metal / brick facades are put on.
The Obama library is the anti-trump building. It’s devoid of flamboyance, false adornment, unnecessary material, or flashy opulence. It is exactly what it wants to be. Imposing but unobtrusive on the skyline. It’s part of the scenery, without becoming the scenery.

Oof
Perpetuating the myth that student loan forgiveness means “your taxes are paying off student loans,” when it really means “government is telling banks to fuck off with their excessive interest rates on student loans.”
Tax money isn’t going to the banks* or the students. The students have usually paid off the loans, and are now struggling with the interest debt. The gov’t telling the bank to give up on that debt isn’t hurting anyone, but the bank doesn’t get as much profit as they could have - and since the banks own the senators & media outlets, we get the myth that student loan forgiveness means “taxes paying off student loans.”
*note - I think some deals do include the gov’t giving the banks some money to “cover their (imaginary) losses.”
