Data vs. datum

Technically, the word "data" is the plural of the word "datum," though the former is often used as both the singular and the plural, as in, "The data suggests something" and "New data have arisen." In everyday usage, you sound smarter if you treat data as a plural. #language

Expired political signs

I think all those jerks who littered our roads and highways with political signs should be forced to pick up all their stupid trash instead of just leaving it around to remind us of who ran in the recent presidential election. We remember. Now pick up your stupid signs, jerks.
Similar to loser bumper stickers. #politics
