This isn't just near Independence Hall. It's where Washington stayed while president, kept slaves, posted bounty ads for runaways, and rotated them back and forth to VA to evade PA's manumission law. This is what it's known for, this specific location's primary historical significance is slavery.

Look at this: @inquirer.com has digitally preserved the interpretative signage removed by NPS, and used annotations to explain what specifically was flagged before removal. This keeps the content publicly accessible (for now) while doing newsworthy reporting

The UN yesterday put out a report about how the world is in Global Water Bankruptcy. Why would you vote for something that would have even the potential to pollute and destroy our water sheds? Ridiculous. Also the rep is from that area which is makes it even more stupid. -.-
Rep. Pete Stauber, who sponsored the resolution to overturn the ban, argued that the Biden administration’s ban was a “dangerous, purely political decision that disregarded the science and disregarded the facts.”
Opponents argued the pollution risk isn't worth the possible economic benefits.

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

When the FBI took her father away in 1942, fourteen-year-old Marion Tsutakawa Kanemoto didn’t know how to make sense of it—and neither did her classmates. “It’s interesting how when it’s an awkward position, there are people who just stay away,” she recalled. “They don’t know how to comfort you.”

Thread, up and down. But especially this. Prompting the thought: *How many recipes* call for this step and we’ve never stopped to wonder why?
We have a waffle mix recipe from my Grandmother that is old enough that the first step is to scald the milk. My mom never knew why and then it hit me one time while I was making it that the recipe predated pasteurization.

The football huddle was invented by a deaf quarterback in 1894.
Paul Hubbard, who attended Galludet University, created the huddle when his team competed against another deaf school so that the opponents wouldn’t be able to read his signals.
