Meme. Image of Gilbert de Clare from a stained glass window. The image is cropped, so you're only seeing him from the shoulders up. He is wearing armor & a helmet. He has a shield on his back, and is wearing a brocaded yellow tabard with what a design in red on the chest. He had a mace, it's head painted red (with paint or blood...your choice!) on his back with his shield. He's standing before a blue background, making it look like he's falling into the sea from a great height.

Roger is looking worried. His eyes are flicking up and far off to your right. His mouth is drawn up in a frown, and his nose is cautious. His face is pale like the moon reflected in a saucer of milk. His expression looks very much like he's sitting in a coffee shop & watching a pair of mormon missionaries getting closer and closer, evangelizing as they come. He just wants to drink his coffee and doomscroll, and he hates confrontation. Oh, where is the manager??

Meme text reads: 
"Eels!
Well.
I do de Clare!"

Editorial note: in the whole annual cycle of eel history posts, there are a handful that I really look forward to (for various reasons). This is one, because the pun in the meme makes me unreasonably happy.

So Lent's around the corner & you're gettin' hungry. What do you do?

Well, if you're the unpleasant 13th C. knight Gilbert de Clare, you're in luck. Because on Shrove Tuesday fishermen from Tonbridge will pay you 20 large eels & 1500 small eels (60 sticks) in rents.

Problem solved!

Isn't it strange how people say that #Joe-Biden had dementia and couldn't give a speech. He's standing here adding to the eulogy with no problems. No stumbling no mumbling no mispronouncing words just clear thought and emotion. Thank you Mr Biden

I was picturing a barrel full of eels, but I think they eat other fish, so it wouldn't be that useful. I know they were a delicacy then, but we used them as crab bait when I was a kid, so I'd still accept the offer.

unless an entire base or aircraft carrier got taken out, that's extremely unlikely. the global war on terror killed 4,419 U.S. personnel over 20 years.

instead of relying on TikTok randos, French (and other foreign) media is online, much of it in English.

Americans are completely car-brained as a result of Eisenhower’s bad policy, and if WW2 gas rationing was in effect today, it would be less popular than masking and vaccine mandates combined. Everywhere would look like what Republicans believe the George Floyd protests were.

It’s not fair to blame Carter, though. Many of his policies were successful. He was blamed for the global energy crisis, which began during the previous admin & which he managed effectively, the same way that Biden was blamed for post-pandemic inflation, which he managed effectively.

Johnson expanded the government with his anti-poverty campaign, and Carter continued those programs, made the Department of Education a cabinet level agency, and expanded affirmative action, among other policies to right the wrongs of the racism baked into the New Deal. His presidency was underrated

Who the hell wants to hear Meatball Ron talk about how he played baseball in college? Even Moses Mike is bored.

As awful as he is, sometimes he’s just super relatable.

Has a single sports story about Porzingas actually talked to people in the disability community about POTS and related conditions? People with POTS? They aren’t hard to find.

This was reskeeted into my feed. It’s an image post with text above Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie talking to a press scrum while wearing a tan suit and burgundy tie with dark stairs in the background. There’s a Daily Caller chyron, and it appears to be a video still.

Massie just claimed that Israel has taken full control of the U.S. government and is using the Epstein Files as leverage to protect
billionaires. If true, this is the biggest political scandal in American history.

The source of this is the Daily Caller, the news site founded by Tucker Carlson.

The confidential informant who said that he was connected to the Mossad went on to describe Alan Dershowitz briefing a Mossad agent, which would make Dersh the asset, and Epstein a target.

It’s an antisemitic trope.

He doesn’t, which is why he’s telling it to the Daily Caller, the news site founded by Tucker Carlson. It’s an antisemitic trope.

This is a great collection, and thank you, Fi for including the credits!

And the reminder, it helps!

And for folks who don’t want to copy pasta now, I take screenshots of credits and alt text sometimes to copy pasta later

Interesting. I’m obviously happy about it (and people who are encarcerated should have the right to vote as well), and I’m also wondering how much the opioid epidemic is affecting this change of heart.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people β€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.
