I just discussed this with my students a few weeks ago. To protest the clothing optional beach in Toronto, he took off shirt in council (as one does). He later apologized for his anti-gay shit when he was an NDP MPP saying the church made him do it (as one does).

Nothing good has been written since the advent of the spinning jenny.
They were a husband and wife pair and of the two of them, she was more strident. She wasn't much of a fan of anything published since the fall of the ancient world.

Security guard held for slaying man in restaurant ruckus By EDNA BUCHANAN Herald Staff Writer Gary Robinson died hungry. He had a taste for Church's fried chicken. He wanted the three-piece box for $2.19, plus tax. Instead he got three bullets - from a security guard who shot him when he ran. Police jailed the guard on a murder charge. Robinson, 32, walked into Church's, at 2701 NW 54th St., on last Sunday at 11:45 p.m., 15 minutes before closing time. An ex-convict with an extensive arrest record, Robinson lived nearby, at 2905 NW 55th St. "He appeared drunk," Metro-Dade Homicide John Butchko said Saturday. "He was singing, loud and obnoxious." "He was intoxicated," Church's night manager, Shirley Fowlkes, 31, said. Robinson shoved his way in front of seven customers who were ahead of him.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.
