W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

TIL that I am older than Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon, when he was “too old for this shit”, so that is an excuse I will now be using. Also, he was only 41…….. so that’s a thing you now all know.

If the roles were reversed here, I’m pretty sure Fox News would be screaming about a Democrat deporting so many Catholics.

After 2 divorces, my dad is dating a really lovely lady. She is decidedly too cool for him. I wonder what she sees in him, cause he sucks.

If you have a device that CAN run Apple Intelligence you need to turn this off as well as the general Apple Intelligence setting. Settings > Screen Time > scroll down to Content and Privacy > turn on Restrictions > Intelligence and Siri > turn off the first three options

If you've ever used the Polity data, read this from Monty Marshall. tl;dr Polity is coding recent US events as an executive self-coup and an adverse regime change.

I am convinced this is what is occurring. Attempted in 2020-21, actualized in 2025.
