Albert Einstein was born 147 yrs ago #BOTD
Einstein corresponded with W.E.B. Du Bois while still in Germany.
After fleeing to the U.S:
"As long as I have any choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance and equality of all citizens before the law prevail."
Rhymes with shagflation?
This show was such comfort food back in the day.
Do Gene Wilder and Liberace count?
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.
Between the four of them, two farmed, one was a retail manager, and one was a real estate agent. (One died early and one grandma divorced and remarried, so four grandpas.)

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.
Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection.
A tooth infection.

Hopefully some confidential source like Slurve or Eephus can tell us more about it. 🤦🏻♂️
Who was their writer, Terry Gilliam?
I addressed this in Part 3 of my look at the #NBPP2027 (w/a shout-out to @katie-keith.bsky.social & @mattafiedler.bsky.social, who did more comprehensive takes on it):

I use these words advisedly: Holy fucking shit.
Breaking MS NOW:
Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.
Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.
They draw the line at Viggo Mortensen.

These guys would've welcomed the toys.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
"Observers in both neighborhoods say that agents have been operating in smaller groups to avoid drawing attention to themselves. They also said that agents have been using increasingly deceptive tactics, and have more frequently been seen without masks."
Thanks for your reporting.
Federal agents convinced an 11-year-old boy to open the door at 7:30 a.m. and then detained this Hmong grandma for 2 weeks in Texas. She shared a cell with 20 women. What did she do wrong? She has no idea, but ICE has returned repeatedly. She's still in hiding. www.twincities.com/2026/02/15/h...
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.
A newly unsealed FBI interview shows an entire Deutsche Bank staff team internally tried to cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein in 2015, after seeing wires to young women. One compliance officer says she was later pushed out and fired after raising the issue. Management kept the accounts open.
That Costco one is real love right there.
I believed musicians went to radio stations to play their songs live. Somehow recordings didn't enter into the equation for me for a while. It was really nice of ELO to visit Brainerd that often.
Sim City a jillion years ago. NHL 93 on Sega. WoW. Original Civ. Maybe Skyrim.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."
I'm with you - I'd rather celebrate the organic good in our local reality than see people prop up contrived or overstated versions of the same.
Someone posted in that thread that the photo was from California last year, with receipts.
