ICYMI. In response to the EO that conflates Confederate monuments with “history,” @uncpress.bsky.social is offering my book on the history of these statues for FREE until April 11th. Here’s the link! www.book2look.com/book/SO9q2ZB...

Given the overwhelming response to my original post, I decided to provide the link today. Read, learn, & share. It's free, straightforward, accessible, & leaves no doubt about the meaning of Confederate monuments & why the latest EO resurrects Lost Cause ideology. www.book2look.com/book/SO9q2ZB...

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Etymology of the day: in the expression ‘just deserts’, ‘deserts’ is an old past participle of the French ‘deservir’, meaning ‘deserve’. To get your just deserts is to get what you deserve. ‘Desert’ in this sense is obsolete, which is why lexicographers see ‘just desserts’ popping up everywhere.

@fbarchaeology.bsky.social Unlike football the NCAA has 3 Pantone colors approved for basketballs. I wondered what a football in basketball leather would look like. The folks at LeatherHead did too and made some for sale. It's now out of stock though.

I've read/heard of calls for UNC to reinstall hedges when they return natural turf to Kenan Stadium. Here's what I learned while creating this Flickr album of Kenan Stadium turf-designs flic.kr/s/aHsmDrRqs8...
