There's approximately a 0% chance that this is accurate.

Sometimes, it’s just being in the right place at the right time. I took this in 2019.

With respect to the Trumpkins crowing about slightly lower inflation in February, one wonders if they noticed a trend over the past two years…

What a tremendous shock that this author would mischaracterize the data in order to pretend that the GOP has somehow locked down Gen Z.

Good thing Americans don't buy anything made with steel.

If the Trumpkins can rename the Gulf of Mexico, can we just go ahead and rename red states and other geographical features? Or maybe we just wait for climate change to simply eliminate some of those places, like Louisiana. (Honestly, I'm shocked that this is still up on the NOAA web site.)

The MAGA people generally don’t understand that for most of them, this is what “great” will look like if the billionaires enact their policies and rob the federal treasury. (Clay County, Kentucky, c. 1905. University of Louisville Photo Archives)

As usual, Trump’s mouth was well ahead of his brain. The NOLA attack suspect was an American citizen, born in Texas, and apparently also an Army veteran. Looks increasingly like a case of home-grown self radicalization.

This is an original veteran’s pin of the Grand Army of the Republic, in honor of my 3x great grandfather who served in the 46th Massachusetts Infantry. I like to wear it whenever I visit states of the former Confederacy.

Potentially. When I encounter this, I usually will scratch something down in a shorthand sketch - even letters for solfège syllables and a rhythm - just to be sure I get back to the initial idea. And take a manuscript paper sketch book with you!

Not sure about the level of genealogy/family history interest on Bluesky yet, but just for fun, here is a record of a 1740 deed granting hunting and fishing rights of the lands of Ardmayle and Castlemoyle, County Tipperary, to my ancestor, Henry Wayland of Cashel. I love the look of old documents.

I am sure this is working out exactly as you had hoped. Well done.

For no particular reason at all, here are a series of circles with 300km radii on territory that Ukraine controls, and some interesting places in Russia, Belarus and Crimea circled just for kicks.
