A black and white photo of Langston Hughes in a suit and hat.

I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind.
– Langston Hughes

Two gothic / sentimental steel engravings with ‘Minutes of the Committee of the Court of Sessions & Boston Selectmen about building new prison & c in Boston’ handwritten above it.

When Boston set out to build a new prison in 1820, the prison committee’s manuscript minutes were bound in scrap paper that featured engravings from what appears to be a gothic novel, and I simply cannot get over how cool this is 🗃️

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying Trump impulsively acted in Venezuela and Iran, causing global instability, and suggesting spikes in instability coincide with revelations about the Epstein files. Below is a video still of Ocasio-Cortez speaking outside a government building.

Continuation of the same post showing Ocasio-Cortez arguing that if the Epstein files influence Trump’s decisions enough to risk global conflict to protect himself politically, it means he cannot make objective decisions for the American people. The image shows Ocasio-Cortez speaking on a walkway outside a building.

She's right, you know.

Since thou wert king—as who is king but thou?⁠—
The commonwealth hath daily run to wrack

A fairly stupendous amount of what I'd certainly call 'western history' is the slow, agonizing lesson about how church and state are better separated.

Finally, an article about the real victims of this war: piles of money

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

A childhood neighbor, still a family friend, has become a Drumpfer. I’m hoping that the 1000 people we know in common who are absolutely livid on a daily basis are making her question this.

I used to regularly have polite quick-walking races down a hallway at Harvard Law School. My antagonist was the absolutely splendid human being, Archibald Cox.

Move to Massachusetts. They’re all good people here.

I‘d suggest a Socratic method. “How do you know when something is true?” But you know your acquaintance best.

Same for school shootings. The only reason to claim false flag is to distract from the overwhelming evidence that heinous acts should be stopped.

You sure she’s the stupidest? There‘s lots of competition for that title.

And grandmas!
1) letter carrier
2) waitress
3) sold building materials (owned the business)
4) seamstress

Impeccable.

two women standing next to each other in a bathroom with blue tiles Alt: A scene from Taylor Swift’s “Anti-hero” video in which she stands on a bathroom scale weighing herself, and, as another character, she shakes her head. Both look disappointed.

My toaster and my bathroom scale both died this morning. I think this is proof that the universe has a sense of humor.

She’s like a liar gone to burning hell

Let’s look at state-by-sTate longevity statistics. Pretty sure you should be asking Cracker Barrel.

Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(

Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Then he started a war instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

It’s all three.
Despicable.

Grew up in a house heated with wood. Unusual, I know. But I know what a maul is and far more about logs than I care to remember. That said, one source was a cedar swamp, and I will never smell anything that invokes “home” more powerfully burning cedar logs.

But then I sigh, and, with a piece of scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil:
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

Fast snd soon.

FRIENDLY ADVICE: Live your life so that if a rash appears on your neck millions of people don't publicly wish for your death.

Log splitter is a machine. Usually gas-powered. They have a cradle in which you place a log and a hydraulic system with a splitting wedge attached. My dad nearly lost a finger in one.

"They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for)."

Today marks the first day of Women's History Month; yesterday was the last day of Black History Month.

Every day is for women's history and Black history and Black women's history.

Because these are not histories that are separate from histories of war and economy.

This is a reminder: when ICE says someone rammed their vehicle for no reason, they're almost certainly lying.

If people were out there trying to harm ICE agents, they wouldn't be trying to hit massive SUVs with their cars. That math just doesn't work.

Let's talk about features. Bluetooth: nope Sunroof: nope Fancy wheels: nope Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck that can turn.

It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would. Interesting facts: This car's exterior color is gray, but it's interior color is grey. In the owner's manual, oil is listed as "optional." When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary "Bored to Death: The Story of the 1999 Toyota Corolla You wanna know more? Great, I had my car fill out a Facebook survey. Favorite food: spaghetti Favorite tv show: Alf Favorite band: tie between Bush and the Gin Blossoms This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle-of-the-

When I ran the CarFax for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a Corolla, It's fine."

This isn't the car you want, it's the car you deserve: The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla. Google map of cars location

Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.
