When mine was little we received the d'Aulaires Book of Norse Myths and Book of Greek Myths, which are amazing. I wanted to make sure he wasn't culturally illiterate, so tried to find a Book of Christian Myths, but ran into obvious problems. (1/n)

Wilder thing is that you can grab a Big Mac and Fries from the same exact spot Mussolini and Wife were hung from.

There's no rage more pure than the anger folks on the far-left feel when a progressive shows they can win a Democratic primary.
Dear Dems, the people want you to run on abolishing ICE, not appeasing fascists.

I know this is kind of spitting into the wind, but I'd like to make an effort:
Just because ICE calls them "administrative warrants" doesn't make that the most accurate term for them.
They are forms. ICE forms. Signed by an ICE employee. Authorizing an arrest, but still, a _form._

Sarah Taber's video is magnificent, and will explain to you the difference between selling a farm experience and raising beef.
Anyway, for those who are intrigued by wealthy failcouples getting into farming:
I did a whole video on how the Neelemans can't even get beef right. And beef is a LOT easier than raw dairy.

The Post seems to mostly exist now for its opinion and politics pages, which Bezos can use to advance his own agendas.
Speaking to WaPo employees, editor Matt Murray says cuts are about “positioning ourselves to become more essential to people's lives, and what is becoming a more crowded, competitive and complicated media landscape, and after some years when, candidly, the Post has had struggles to do that."
