Jessie Diggins, Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist, from the Twin Cities: “I want to make sure you know who I’m racing for…”

Instagram post from Jessie Diggins, showing her carrying the American flag and smiling:

I want to make sure you know who I'm racing for when I get to the start line at the Olympics. I'm racing for an American people who stand for love, for acceptance, for compassion, honesty and respect for others. I do not stand for hate or violence or discrimination.
I get to decide who I'm racing for every single day, and how I want to live up to my values. For everyone out there caring for others, protecting their neighbors and meeting people with love - every single step is for you.
YOU are the ones who make me proud to carry the flag, and I hope I can bring you joy over these next few weeks.

Love them or hate them, it’s interesting to reflect on how different things would have been with 70 years of Queen Margaret followed by King Andrew.

I still think there’s an interesting paper to be written on why so many high school mascots are the Spartans and there are no Athenians.

Speaking of protest songs, the Psychedelic Furs’ President Gas is actually quite relevant today.

I think there’s a fascinating study to be done comparing today’s billionaires with those of 100 and more years ago. The Rockefellers, the Carnegies, the Vanderbilts, they have no like today.

Yes, this needs to be at the ready. Along with quotes about Waco and Ruby Ridge.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Then we talked for two ours, slide by slide, on my Hamas lecture. It was the best such discussion I’ve ever had. Not sure I softened her views much, but she sure improved my lectures.

Last year I had a strong anarchist in my terrorism class. I noticed her right away because of her Built to Spill shirt. I found out she was an anarchist when she came to my office hours and criticized my lecture slides on the turn of the last century anarchist terrorism.

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

Three coffins wrapped in Danish flags are carried by 4-6 soldiers each; a cargo aircraft is in the background

President Trump quietly issued clemency grants this week, including to a California woman he had pardoned once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.

“We have done so much for America”: Denmark fought alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan. Now, as Trump eyes Greenland, the families of fallen soldiers have a message for him, @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social reports:

The Sacrifice of the Danes

After September 11, Denmark fought alongside its ally. The families of fallen soldiers have a message for Trump.

Only few pieces of furniture from early medieval times have been preserved. Due to the water-logged condition of the area, many wooden objects such as this terrific chair made from maple and ash wood survived in a burial at Trossingen.
Dating 580 AD.

Full shot of a wooden chair. The chair's back is a made of numerous vertical wooden slats, that are spaced evenly and have small, evenly-spaced pieces attached between each major slat. The chair's frame is constructed of several interconnected wooden pieces forming a rectangular base. The chair's seat frame is also made of a slatted design. The leather or fur seat has not survived.
