Photo of a plaque in Bordeaux commemorating Aristides de Sousa Mendes, 1885-1954. In French, it mentions that he saved 30,000 refugees, 10,000 of whom were Jewish, by issuing them Portuguese visas against the order of his government. He listened to his conscience to the detriment of his career and family, and for his heroic act he was condemned by Salazar in October of 1940.

I never knew about this until I happened to be in Bordeaux last month and walked by a plaque about him at what appeared to be the former site of the Portuguese consulate there. The last line says, β€œwho saves a life saves humanity.”

I have 3 different browsers open right now for Reasons, and there is a completely unfamiliar alert sound happening and I have no idea where it's coming from 😫

Ah, that makes sense! Here I thought I had a useful blocklist for a minute πŸ˜… Time for a coffee.

Your originally quoted skeet was blocked for me and now I’m wondering what blocklist they’re on…

I need to switch to doing this because I've now realized it's good to periodically re-evaluate the block lists you subscribe to. Just found a "far-right" one where several folks on it are absolutely not that, and were people I had tried to follow before

Hm...I've got that one on hold. I agree with the 50/50 aspect and have a bit of trepidation here. It was the NYT review that got me interested in reading it.

I know not many will see this, but I am in serious search of a new domain/email provider for my freelance business. I have been let down time and again by Hover. Don't want to pay Google. Any suggestions? #AmEditing #freelance

Since they’re having a 14th inning stretch does this mean I should have dinner again? What day is it?
