This same publication had a whole retrospective series in 1901 about Reconstruction with articles decrying its failures. Same vibes. Such a shame - Ed Yong was an amazing perspective to have contributing in 2020 and this all undoes good work like his.

I am late, but so glad this post showed up on my thread. I started to fall into a Sumner craze a few years ago writing a paper about the Lodge Bill and had to pull back to actually finish the paper and focus on the correct MA politicians. Happy to have an opportunity to revisit with your book!

Husband has never read To Kill a Mockingbird and has trouble focusing to read, but can listen easily - I’m reading a chapter out loud each day for us and it’s such a delight to revisit. The first chapter has a line about sweaty ladies in talcum being like tea cakes; what a glorious use of language.

and performs a broad box check for museums and galleries trying to engage visitors. Without stepping too far out of my lane, I think in Mexico, she and her artistic/political cohort capture a time in which there was a renewed optimism and pride after the Revolution that still matter to the culture.

I think it has a lot to do with underrepresentation of both women and Latin American artists overall - her intersectionality provides a way for this to be "corrected" for the Western mainstream. Her connections to so many notable Western figures in her life makes the narrative easier to package

Finished a Masters last month and my final paper was AI-free; 37 pages of references self-sourced and none of them used AI, either. Pleased to make your acquaintance, now you know one person in 2025 CE involved in academic study not doing so. Given your pic is AI, hope I’m not check-mating a bot.

I took a once-in-a-lifetime dream trip to Southern Africa last year and Zimbabwe was sincerely the most beautiful place I have ever seen (and probably will ever see). Couldn’t believe that the sunrise over the Zambezi was real life - couldn’t stop crying watching it.

They really give these guys too much credit - I don’t think they are organized enough to produce so many "distractions".

professionals from all over the world and that our metro of 2M is proportionally one of the most Hispanic-dominated in the country at more than 30%. These cops were out because thousands of us gathered in 100+F/38+C heat to protest, but go off, I guess.

Hi from Las Vegas where we didn’t vote MAGA. I’m sorry that we, like many places in the U.S., have a radicalized police force that did shit like this as long as your relatives have been coming here. Please be aware that the people they supported coming here are a diverse makeup of hospitality

This is the flip side of that rugged individualism they’ve foisted onto us. Nearly two decades of MCU storytelling that starts as a bunch of main characters with their own missions and ends with them all slo-mo walking into a fight won’t help in them aftermath, either. We the People are Fucking Nuts

French Revolution was kicked off by angry women; Russian Revolution was kicked off by angry women; Civil Rights Movement was kicked off by a woman who had been an organizer for years. The urgency historically erupts from women and then they get sidelined by the men making the speeches.

production time of the issuing body, am I just out of luck? It takes up to two months to get a passport, rural voters who are not near a DMV have extra work to do in renewals, etc. And who verifies IDs? We are asking poll workers to validate ID like nightclub bouncers.

Social Security card is not an approved form of identification for most major government functions, including in states that have introduced voter ID laws. Again, though, if I lose my ID or something happens in the couple weeks before voting and I can’t get a replacement in time because of

requirements are serving as loopholes around the 24th in the name of "fraud" - barriers to voting should not be treated casually. It is too important and if it wasn’t, then easy access to cast a ballot wouldn’t have been something that people have had to quite literally die for.

A cost paid to the gov to be able to vote is a poll tax. It’s not a matter of "adulting" or any other such thing. The 24th Amendment outlined that poll taxes were illegal. We are not supposed to pay to access basic rights. Historically, burdens like this were used to disenfranchise voters. ID

Government ID that would be valid cost money, meaning this becomes a charge to vote: a poll tax. Lots of birth certificates are not in the hands of the named person (again, getting a new one costs money) and things like floods or fires can destroy those close enough to election to be undue burden.

that governments could have done prior that would have been far more impactful. It takes air out of things like refugee status, antisemitism in government figures that drove dispassion, and other earlier moral derelictions that need to be acknowledged and reckoned with.

gave way to a lot of different academics and experts being able to offer opinions on feasibility of this exercise (military historians, aviation specialists, etc. really didn’t have much to say about the Holocaust otherwise), which gave this specific "what-if" more attention than other things

Aside from the fact that OP’s original said "WWII," which means anywhere from 1939 to 1945, the Allies did bomb camps. Elie Wiesel recounts it in Night when he was at a sub camp of Auschwitz, Buna. I will say that the aerial photos of Auschwitz-Birkenau that were released in the late 1970s really

As one of your constituents, I welcome you introducing articles of impeachment against Sec. Noem and holding her accountable on my behalf while I do my part in your district. Directing accountability to "America" reads like a way to avoid your duty as an elected representative sworn to stop this.

Hard to say here in Vegas because we can claim singers who can reasonably be claimed elsewhere, but Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Elvis, Liberace, and Wayne Newton. They’re all just so embedded in the broader identity of the place. I guess The Killers if they have to be homegrown.

Yep. Also illustrates that has been a Trojan Horse for a lot of competing interests - a lot of bad actors rode in with him on their own agenda rather than a shared ideology. This is currently a strength for them because so many plates are spinning, but it ultimately will be a huge liability.

Brought us Jenny McCarthy and Andrew Wakefield, too. The credence she gave to the host of MTV’s Singled Out for her vaccine opinions was a real fore-bearer into today’s personality over expert issue.

"Revive his party’s fortunes" is doing a lot of work. They didn’t lose any branch in a landslide last year - his party has a tactics issue, not a platform issue. An "L" is an "L," to be sure, but anyone paying attention would see that the people aren’t overwhelmingly calling for a rightward push.

There’s definitely a set of figures who just seem to "get" the U.S. and somehow seem to see the whole story all at once in a way that really blows my mind - he is definitely one of them.

I was a whole-ass adult before I realized I shared a birthday with John Brown. The fact that he wasn’t listed in my "famous people born today" cohort is a pretty stark indication of what we keep missing in our story.

The whole point here is that we have pushed forward toward better (painfully). That’s the American story: the churn of promise that we can and will be better and that the people have the right to demand it. It’s the suppression of that right to call them to the mat that brings danger.

This is where my head has been since they first hooked up. These guys can’t fathom secure lines for group chats or basic screen protectors when photographers are around? They all thought that deleting DMs erase them forever for sure. I have no doubt it is messy in those inboxes.

overwhelming comfort difference across all cups/discs seems to be that a tampon will absorb all moisture, including any that has nothing to do with your period, so actual insertion/removal is more gentle (once you get the hang of it). This became a Reddit thread really fast lol

This is getting intimate, but I went from a cup to a disc since it basically sits cradled by your pubic bone and is a little higher up, which made it more comfortable for me, but I know others had the exact opposite experience. Personal anatomy will give everyone a different experience. The

You, friend, have opened a door to a lot of cup/disc evangelists and I will kickoff. Once you find the one that sits/fits correctly, you no longer have to worry about having spare anything on you or buying new in time for a start date; it makes travel easier; and is a more sustainable (eco)choice.
