When bearing false witness on TV, it's helpful to wear ash on your forehead. How else would anyone ever guess you're supposedly a "Christian"?

On February 18, 1865, the Comfederate stronghold of Charleston surrendered to US troops. Among the first soldiers to march through the fallen port city were those of the 21st USCT, many of whom had been enslaved in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina.

The civil service was created after President Garfield was assassinated. And Garfield was assassinated because a guy was disgruntled about not getting a job. The spoils system was ended for a damn good reason.
OPM recently published its final rule implementing Schedule Policy/Career, which would convert at least 50,000 federal employees to at-will employment status.
@nicholasbednar.bsky.social explores the constitutional theory being asserted by this rule, which would upend 150 years of civil service law.

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls
1 reason why I get so angry at anti-trans "safety in women's sports" people is NONE of them do SHIT or say ANYTHING about actual safety in womens sport. There are ongoing histories and challenges and abuses in sport, and folks are more than welcome to pay attention, and give a damn. But they don't.

When the international players at the NBA All-Star Game were introduced with their home countries, the map behind Victor Wembanyama was not actually France but more closely resembled the boundaries of the Capetian dynasty, which ruled the region from 987 to 1328.
N.B.A. All-Star Game’s Map of France Leaves Something Out: 800 Years
Introducing the French player Victor Wembanyama was a map that hearkened back to the Capetian realm of the 12th century.

I think people need reminder that we’ve always been a multi cultural multi ethnicity country. And we’ve always dealt with it “mostly” without extreme violence. How about you just leave people alone if they’re not hurting anyone. Seems pretty simple. youtu.be/5ZQl6XBo64M?...
