The casual way the agent on the roof fires on an unprotected minister is chilling. What in the world could provoke such a response? I want to hear an agent explain this to his mother. No, his grandmother.

Out of all the shocking news stories of the day, this is the one that made me gasp out loud.

Look at that beautiful face. Too many torties? I don't think so!

A league of Chicago’s own: The other women’s pro league of the 1940s There was the Rockford Peaches, women’s pro baseball team of the 1940s. But a pro softball league also had fans going wild.

The AUSL is far from the first women’s pro softball league to captivate audiences. Before the current women’s sports boom, before Title IX, women stepped up to the plate in the 1940s and ‘50s. Curious City finds: https://trib.al/byidigi

In the federal court system, law clerks find little recourse for bullying and abuse An NPR investigation finds federal judges have enormous influence with few checks on their power. Law clerks and other judicial employees are vulnerable to mistreatment and have few job protections.

This investigation by @carriejohnson.bsky.social into abuse and bullying within the federal judiciary is absolutely damning and horrifying. Worth a read, and I hope it helps change things. www.npr.org/2025/03/01/n...

This is my favorite and I always smile while recombobulating in Milwaukee! 🥰

Wow. I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say AI counterpoints are for search engines, not newspapers. While I'm out on this limb, I am going to risk my journalistic integrity and say the KKK and Nazis? Bad.

Also... so beeyootiful!

Standard tortie. 😻

At what temperature does blood boil? 'Cause that's my temperature.

It's soul-crushing to see how quickly we've hit the racist reset button. What the heck is the point of this?

It builds up on you. I chuckled till I cried.
