I like to think every time Biden presses it someone chucks a Diet Coke at Trump whether he wants one or not.

Should this be filed under “idiosyncratic things powerful people have you don’t need to know or care about?” What do we do with this information?

No, it should be filed under “something one of the editors of the site I’m reading found interesting and I can just scroll by if it doesn’t interest me.”

My red button on my desk just screams out F@Ck in various iterations, but I like it, it’s effective, and a little F@Ck in your day is soothing.

The usher call button has been in use for decades, iirc. What was interesting about this story is that, per the anecdote, trump had it dedicated to calling for a Diet Coke. And used it in this weird charade of unlimited power.

You beat me to it. I would like to think it’s what they gave Trump to keep him preoccupied and it took a while before it stopped working.
