Home is Spice, WV, on Droop Mt. Working my way through 19th century Pocahontas County court records, reading the history nobody remembers. Knitting, spinning, sewing, band weaving, now with added sprang.

Of all my posts, this is the one that I wish would be shared widely. I hope people will donate to Bryan's legal defense, but even if you don't, it's important to be aware of the human rights horrors that are going on around us on a daily basis.

"And there's Gene Debs -a man 'at stands
And just holds out in his two hands
As warm a heart as ever beat
Betwixt here and the Jedgement seat."

Donald Trump ended the National Blue Ribbon Schools program this year.

But, I believe that educational excellence should be celebrated β€” and it's why we're picking up where they've dropped the ball.

I’m recognizing 28 schools in IL as the 2025 Governor’s Blue Ribbon Schools.

Never forget that in McCarthy’s insane communist witch hunt he decided to go for that noted pinko George Marshall. You know, the guy who built the AEF campaigns in WWI, built the Army for WWII, oversaw the war, served as secretaries of both defence and state, rehabilitated Europe and Japan…

1. This is objectively hilarious.

2. Umm we really need to leverage this and try to get the MAGAs to turn against Sinclair.

I grew up close to the point where all the lines meet. From my experience all the nation’s slices look very much alike.

Any criticism of Patel and Bongino’s failure to solve crimes must also acknowledge past FBI director Chris Wray’s failure to podcast and sell supplements.

Zuck's vision of the future is that everyone should have a personal superintelligence that only they can see & talk to, through special lenses that can only be purchased through him. He's basically become the 21st-century version of an 80s televangelist.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?
