Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with
2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”
We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.

"Freedom first takes root in our visions for a radically just space-time continuum..."
I just found out that great Alice Wong has crossed over. She fought for justice and a better vision for the world her whole life. Her impact is immense, and her legacy broad and deep.
Rest well, warrior.

This is the most glamorous opening to an article about a white supremacist flattering journalist who lied to her readers and editors while having an affair with narcissistic crank who eats roadkill, swims in sewer water, will cause children to die, and is 50 years her senior that I've ever read.

I got a COVID booster because I continue to see “healthy” people lose their health to COVID and don’t want to risk it happening to me
About 1 in 4 American adults got a covid vaccine shot during the 2024-25 virus season, a fraction health care experts warn could be smaller this year as millions wrestle with conflicting advice from the government and trusted medical orgs about the value of a shot. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Reminder: Ruby Bridges is only 71 years old today. She still remembers how one woman she passed on her way into school would threaten to poison her every morning, and how the US Marshalls would only allow her to eat lunch brought from home, just in case.
This history isn't ancient. It's recent.

It's still hard for me to fathom that the New York Times *had* proof of Epstein's pedophile ring on their servers since 2016 and just chose not to do anything with it.
I've known for a while that the press was corrupt, but I didn't know to this extent.

Rough week - with this week's appointments being first-thing-in-the-morning appointments, my sleep has been in chaos all week, and today is the first time I've had time for my PT, which I should be doing daily. :(
I get two weeks off, then another week like this. So sleepy rn.

As I read this, I'm thinking about the man I interviewed who had to be hospitalized from the Covid he caught at the poultry processing plant and he got fired for it and he still has long Covid
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

The same Old English word, spelled also as 'wrack' & 'rack', gave us the torture rack, a racking cough & "wracked with guilt."
So 'wreaking havoc' implies an army, having defeated their enemy utterly, then takes their resources, destroying their capacity to reform.
