Generations work on family farms. With costs high and prices low, farmers worry they may lose it all. Generations have worked family farms in the U.S. Now, with costs high, prices low and tariffs causing additional difficulties, farmers say they're at risk of losing it all.

This move is based on pseudoscientific nonsense. Just ftr.

A. Not about that, as Bret says.
B. "Princesses" sure sounds better than "enslaved rape victims," doesn't it? There are, in fact, princesses in the Iliad, like Andromache, wife of Prince Hector, who lives in terror of being sold into slavery and raped after watching her husband and toddler son die.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

It kills me. It's one thing to admire the bad, but entirely another to *not even know what you're talking about* when you're glazing your imaginary historical heroes. Basic reading comprehension fails.

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be

The best part of watching live sports is all these people telling me to place bets every 30 seconds while also telling me to be sure not to get addicted to gambling

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

And/or you're a music major, especially with a music history or choral focus.

Mostly I imagine a lot of this

Astonishing. Lol.

They demand prayer in schools but forbid prayer outside of detention facilities

i think this weighing of monstrosities thing kind of sucks, but i also think it's depressing as hell how many monstrosities are out there stalking the earth today

Riley Greene and Zach McKinstry won Silver Slugger awards at OF and utility. First Silver Slugger awards for both.

First Silver Slugger for any Tiger since Miguel Cabrera in 2016. First time two Tigers have won since Cabrera and J.D. Martinez in 2015.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Actually, folks, this is not phrenology (feeling the bumps on the skull) as people are saying in comments, it is physiognomy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiog... a similarly exploded 'science'. (What it is to be C19th quackery nerd.)

These guys want to claim an ancient past about which they know next to nothing, assuming that it supports their ideas - which they imagine to be ancient when they are dismally modern - even though Rome was perhaps the greatest example in all history of strength through diversity.

Included is a state-of-the-field piece about disability in antiquity (open access), which I co-wrote with @horusofnekhen.bsky.social and @tibg1312.bsky.social. See where we're at with this subfield!

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

I’m extremely grateful that so many folks are willing to support this project and that I met my crowdfunding goal!

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🫶

In the midst of continued destruction of Palestinian history, I hope this book is a small move to remind us of Gaza’s extensive premodern legacy

Oh, good point, though Vecna's an exception IMO. My real issue is that the writers could have developed all of these cool unique abilities like hers, and instead gave like 19 kids the exact same set of skills and training. Instead of trying to incorporate Kali, they pretend she never happened.

I'm really glad my 10th grade English teacher made us read the entire Bible. It is a highly influential text that is worth being familiar with, whatever your beliefs are. It's worth being familiar with the difficulties that people have with translating it into English, too!

I encourage people to actually read the Bible -- alongside critical commentaries -- rather than taking other people's word for what it says

The problem is they did nothing with it. Even my seven year old was pointing out the inconsistencies with season 4 (e.g., why is Kali the only one whose powers are different? Why isn't she in El's memories of the lab? How would those activities have helped train her power?).
