It's kind of wild that you only had to be 57 years old to be simultaneously an Elizabethan and live through the Restoration of Charles II

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Jennifer Wu and @jemmafield.bsky.social discuss the striped garment in the painting. Striped clothing originally associated with exotic figures and non- Christians. But as striped Indian textiles become popular in Englad, particularly for men, the moralising messages become more complex.

If it seems unimaginable that the US is heading towards and dictatorship, it once seemed unimaginable that Trump would be President, or return after seeking to overturn the 2020 election.
We suffer from a normalcy bias, the sense that it can't happen here.
