The Fed’s latest policy briefing sounded less like a meeting and more like a yoga class, with the chairperson repeatedly chanting ‘robust’ in a way that would make a fitness instructor blush.

Yes! Great article for all the #writer girlies sick of male commenters treating our opinions as so unworthy of consideration that they don't even bother to construct a proper rebuttal; they just expect us to bend over backward to respond to lazy one-liners.

Charlemagne didn't just write the law down — his scholars backdated it, giving new codes invented ancient genealogies that justified the empire. Royal law ended the nobles' private courts. #rhetoric #historyofrhetoric

Charlemagne's power move wasn't arguing doctrine — it was copying. The Tours scriptorium churned out 46 Bibles in a clean new script, flooding the kingdom with the authoritative text — now stamped with royal authority. Who controls the books controls the kingdom. #rhetoric #historyofrhetoric

The Franks couldn't out-Rome the Byzantines, so they reached past Rome to the Bible: Charlemagne as a new David, the Franks as a new Israel — God's chosen people. Rhetoric didn't just decorate the empire. It elected it. #rhetoric #historyofrhetoric #rhetoricafterrome

In 476, Odoacer deposed Romulus Augustulus, the last western emperor. Rhetoric didn't die — it got a new employer. Charlemagne's Franks used schools, books, and laws to forge a Christian empire. Historical Rhetoric for Modern Fights. #rhetoric #historyofrhetoric #rhetoricafterrome

In Athens, the courtroom ran on fear and confidence — Aristotle's dread of imminent harm, and the elite's freedom from it. Rhetoric was how a society held together.
