1. THE FIRST WITCH OF BOSTON by Andrea Catalano
Historical fiction about Maggie Jones, first witch executed in Boston. To be honest, more fiction than history, and the writing is fine. If you like historical fiction, worth a read.

I am really enjoying "Bloody Crowns" by @michaellivingston.com . Super dense, as he's covering an incredibly dense era, but gripping and easy to follow. I also can't get the phrase "wet gap" out of my head. Absolutely recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in medieval history.

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.
I love you all and am holding your hand as I say this:
Dems wield zero hard power levers
Dems wield zero hard power levers
it's kind of crazy that there's even any question that democrats are going to do anything about this

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok.
