Site of the oldest permanent slave market in the US. As I have been told that slavery was solely a Southern institution, I can only assume that I have somehow walked to Virginia. Didn't take as long as I would've guessed.

also “every trick in the book” here is simply working with a counterparty towards a shared, beneficial outcome. It’s a “trick” because there is no working with fascism.

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

Going to the Lord Huron gig at the Civic Hall tonight so wandered into Waterstones Wolves to see if they had my book. They did. A little stack. On the bestselling biographies table! All signed now so if you're local and want one, head down ✒️📖

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

This is the most important reply in the thread of the eye catching panic post about finding lead in tampons. Repeat after me “the dose makes the poison”

While on the one hand, yes, bad, on the other… 120 ng/g is 0.00000012 g per gram of tampon Some of this is actually not having equipment sensitive enough to detect that before now

Earlier this month, #FS #Trenitalia 🇮🇹 ran their last diesel loco hauled passenger train: the services are now being worked by #DMU Diesel Multiple Units. My photo below shows a Class D.445, with the daytime Reggio Calabria to Taranto #InterCity, in February 2015. #PastTrainTrips

Started the week with a good workout followed by making faces at an apple-cheeked baby in a floppy sun hat. Auspicious!

State/local parties: we have systems and infrastructure that works as an imperfect but effective way to aggregate preferences and desires from municipal to national levels of our polity Billionaires: holup, we can sow chaos to pick the president? Media: Yes and it will be awesome for our business!

struck by the difference between “# of people speaking on background to journalists about how Biden should drop out” and “# of people with a demonstrated understanding of the voting public & available mechanisms for change speaking for attribution.” Just fanfic & building consulting pipelines

about once a week, i have to explain to someone on the phone that the police have no obligation to do anything for you and, even if their refusal literally leads to your murder, the courts have been clear that there's no case to pursue

A man has been using Facebook to terrorize his ex and their children. He brags about it: “I want her to worry about who’s waiting on the corner.” But police do nothing and nobody seems to take it seriously. Chilling story from Stacy St Clair and Joe Mahr www.chicagotribune.com/2024/07/07/f...

How one man uses Facebook to frighten his children's mother and why police do nothingwww.chicagotribune.com An analysis of data from nearly two dozen Illinois police departments found police rarely arrest people for electronic harassment, even as complaints increase.

Last night my mother in law asked me & older daughter to stop by today for lunch & to watch some soccer - which in practice means I chat with her husband while she catches up with my daughter, perfectly fine. (Cont)

Remember when we all freaked out about Wikipedia and what lies it would be telling students? What sweet summer children we were.

Well this is grim

Watching Sturridge giving Lalas the stink eye is very satisfying, I just want him to snap and slap Alexi for talking shit about England

That was a very entertaining match, feel bad for the Turks, they absolutely gave the Netherlands the business for most of it

European sports rivalries just hit different. In America we will hate a rival because they beat us in the playoffs a couple times. In Europe they are like "yes we hate that team, because in 1456 they disposed our king and did a light genocide against us. Also they dive a lot."

Our broadcast is at least 90 seconds behind so I got a lot of warning about that Gakpo goal

I still think Türkiye can give England more trouble but I’m happy to see the Netherlands get desperate enough to have a defender score a simple goal
