Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

New Year's Eve, and 125 years old today is 'The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy.
(And when I myself read this poem, I often find myself becoming aware of that blessèd Hope from that frail and gaunt thrush ✨️)

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

#Carols from King`s College missed out the best and most poignant verse of It Came Upon a Midnight Clear: And man at war with man hears not the love song that they bring. Oh hush the noise ye men of strife and hear the angels sing! #Kingscollege

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

As you all know, the last few working days for this year are ahead of you. In other words: your 2025 deadlines are approaching fast. So have your slippers and a hat nearby, your bird and cat fed, and an hourglass ready to remind you taking a break. Just like St. Jerome in the 1490s. #academicchatter

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”
We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”.
Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise.
And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.
