Favorite soap-boxes:
-the #VastUrsineConspiracy (obviously)
-Martha Washington Was Complete Trash
-many “greatest books” are actually of the genre Dick Lit. Here is what that is and why it is Not Great(est)
-WWI: Did You Know/My Many Feelings
-Animals who owe me money/reparations

Finally, a crime I can really relate to
I remember seeing a story years ago where a prison cook was caught having stolen $1.2 million of fajitas over 9 years.
One week he took off sick, someone else answered the order call and was like "what are you talking about? We don't serve fajitas."

For those asking for the context behind Bolsonaro’s insults at the start: he was still a congressman in 2014 and made headlines for being open about supporting the 1964 coup d’Etat. This was not a popular position in Brazil at the time. All Borges asked him was: “So there was no coup in 1964?”
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

This newspaper hates its readers as much as Republicans hate their voters. And if you're still supporting either, you deserve it.

What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

EYES ON THE PRIZE is solid, but over forty years old. There's been a lot of great work on the movement since then. And while EYES leaned heavily on interviews with participants, a new series could make use of that scholarship to get beyond the Montgomery-to-Memphis arc.

I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

“You did not read that wrong: The appellate panel blocked Judge Sara Ellis’s ruling before reading her explanation as to why she issued it.”
The judge noted that ICE repeatedly shot pepper balls at protesters & clergy at close range; tear-gassed expectant mothers, children, & babies; and pointed guns at people exercising their First Amendment rights--conduct that she concluded “shocks the conscience.”
