I took it to mean equals fun but who knows. Jeff didn’t seem very literate.

True, but then Boris slipped it in to his reply, completely out of place.

Maybe typo due to Russian keyboard on Windows(lol) phone?

On a related note, someone posted this, which discusses Calgary and Edmonton, and it would otherwise be fairly uninteresting, except it reveals very clearly that they have auto-redacted the word "don't" from any image in the files.

Now, why would that be the case? Because "don't" is "Don T", of course. They've just redacted anything that could conceivably be connected with Trump, and done a terrible job of hiding it.

Obviously they have also done a terrible job of the redactions too, since his name still appears all over the place.

The concept that they were afraid of "Don Trump" showing up and decided to auto-redact "Don*T" but not "Don" would wreak of incompetence.

Which suggests it's likely what happened. Has anyone tried searching for any "don't"s at all?

I noticed punctuation typos appearing frequently, especially the "=" sign. It does make one wonder if there is code in some of those emails.

There are plenty of "don't"s in the files. It's probable that multiple people worked on redacting certain files ("Hey Jimmy, you work on this bunch") and only some people redacted "don't"s and others didn't.

The = is not code, it's just an artefact of the data transfer. That kind of thing is all over the files.

Why do I care so much about proper grammar and being precise with my words when the wealthy elite are essentially illiterate? Goddamn these are tough to read for more reasons than just the subject matter.

[Meelapo]

I thought all of the random characters were so that the emails or whatever aren't easily searchable.

The NY Times has 12 million subscribers. In what ways have they fallen?

Many boomers have terrible grammar, especially in text/email.

The three people, granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive negotiation, said the president would agree to release the funding for the Gateway project, which has been held up since October — but that his ask was that both Washington-Dulles International Airport outside Washington, and Pennsylvania Station in New York City, be renamed for the president.

Schumer said no to the request.

My mom's texts are indecipherable half of the time.
