March is #WomensHistoryMonth.
Before 1974, women needed permission from their spouse to get a credit card or loan.
In 1972, Rep Bella Savitsky Abzug introduced the Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibiting lending institutions from discriminating on the basis of sex or marital status.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face
Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now
So if Kamala Harris had been elected do you think the United States would be in a war with Iran? Just asking...
Edit. The TARDIS parked just behind the welcome to Twin Peaks sign. The seventh Doctor's umbrella leans against the sign post.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.
I finally watched Threads.
If it rained over lunch we got herded into the media room for the first 20 minutes of Johnny Tremaine. To this day I have no idea what happened to the kid after his hand burned off.
The Man from Laramie in elementary school. Why? Who knows. Halfway through we were acting up so much the room mothers running the movie said we could go out to the playground if we wanted and we all did that, en masse.

A square graphic on a dark teal background with DNA and molecular structures. The top features a quote in bold white text: "Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated." Below are two black and white images: a portrait of Rosalind Franklin and "Photograph 51," the 1952 X-ray diffraction pattern that proved the double helix structure. Franklin’s meticulous work at King’s College London was vital to this discovery, though she was never awarded the Nobel Prize.
Photograph 51 is the X-ray that proved the double helix and is arguably the most important image in biology! 🧬 Taken in 1952 at King’s College London.
This Rosalind Franklin quote is my favourite of all time. With the worrying rise of science denial, her words are more important today then ever:
Those who worry about reinventions haven't marvelled at the screaming genius that @bigfinish.bsky.social did to #ThePrisoner and #Space1999... 👌😍💕🙈
I believe that Christians like me—and people of faith more generally—have a responsibility to stand up to the extremists who use religion to divide our society and undermine our democracy.

"Luchs speaks five languages: English, French, Italian, and some German and Russian. She approached grasping Gen Z parlance like she was learning another language.
...An Instagram commenter wrote: 'She’s so natural with it too like it’s not even cringe.'"
That's what I'm talking about!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The cover shows a man in a gas mask, protective coat, and gloves holding a box that has smoke or vapor coming off of it. He is in a dark room and the only light is coming from the vapor. "A Complete Mystery Novel: The Green Terror. What was this weird thing that spread terrifying fear throughout the city to defy the power of The Shadow?”

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E."
The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop."

The Shadow is riding in a lifeboat with several other men away from a large sinking ship. It is nighttime and the ship is on fire. “Crime Rides the Sea. Complete Shadow mystery novel.”

This is haunting...
It's the oldest piece of music for which we have both the words and the notes. A song to the Hurrian goddess Nikkal, it was written on clay tablets around 3500 years ago, and was discovered in the 1950s in the ruins of the ancient city of Ugarit.

On the cover, the Shadow is holding a large book open. There is a knife stabbed into the book and blood stains on the pages. A skeleton in a robe (representing Death) is leaning over the book and pointing to some words on a page. The Shadow is turning his head to look at us, and a blurb at the bottom of the page reads "Bloody words told the story of murder in The Book of Death. An exciting Shadow novel complete in this issue."

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage
The cover shows a skeleton coming out from between two green drapes. On each side of the open drapes is the shadow of the Shadow. It says "The Creeping Death

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.
May she rest in power. May her family find peace, somehow. And may the murderous thugs who caused her death rot in jail.
A New York Times photo showing thousands of people gathered on a dark cold street
Last night, at the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the frigid dark to protest her killing. In the face of this administration’s lawless violence, solidarity is the answer.
They want to mold America to their cruelty. We refuse.

Trump has started bombing Venezuela? Well, I'd better immediately tune in to cable news and hear endless roundtable discussions from pundits and retired generals who didn't get one fucking thing right about the Iraq War.
