Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Muhammad Ali and George Foreman's epic 1974 fight — famous worldwide as "The Rumble in the Jungle" — gave rise to the "rope-a-dope" controversy. What was Angelo Dundee up to and what really happened in Kinshasa? #ropebook StMartinsPress.bsky.social

Taylor Swift grasps the significance of rope! For her "The Life of A Showgirl" album, she posed backstage at a Broadway theater in a rope dress! Now her fans will be buying rope, learning knots & reading Rope the book(or at least buying it for their dads!😉) #ropebook stmartinspress.bksy.social

There are between one and two billion cars on the world's roads today; central to the control of all of them is the steering wheel. But as @timqueeney.bsky.social explains, the steering wheel evolved well away from any highway. It first appeared in the Enlightenment as a way to steer vessels at sea👇

Tim Queeney, author of the book Rope, explains the history behind the steering wheel.
