I initially kinda thought something as stupid and obvious as the Erika Kirk primetime townhall was a "they're dabbing on us" situation, but y'know, Bari might genuinely just be that bad at this from an entire career played on easy mode

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of
The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party
The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

in addition it being real loser shit to know what your zillonth degree ancestors did, it is also a biological fact that you are functionally genetically unrelated to your "11th-great grandfather." you share as much DNA with them as you do with any stranger anywhere.
If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.

Really cool in depth interview on what went into conceiving Free Planet, which I am sharing only partly because I’m given credit for turning Aubrey into a history sicko 😈
Free Planet's a big swing; an effort to create something rich & complex with literary aspirations.

That's why it's so very gratifying to receive such generous praise from Pulitzer Prize-winning author @attackerman.bsky.social.

Free Planet Vol 1 available NOW.

It sucks that “Maybelline” is the only thing that rhymes with “Ghibelline.” Your only joke options are the make up brand or the Chuck Berry song
