Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

if charlie kirk being shot is political violence, then so is every single Native or Black person who has ever been shot at or killed on this land

• Bill to abolish Texas Parks and Wildlife Department:

• Underfunding of state flood plan (vs. $50B need):
State funding fell far short of identified flood mitigation needs, leaving critical projects unfunded.
• Reliance on one-time/voter-approved flood funds:

Texas voted overwhelmingly for Trump. The average Texan hates science and truth and thinks the universal scientific consensus around climate change is fake news.

Yeah it was definitely Trump and not:
Within 45 minutes, the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet and the region got 12 inches or more of rain per hour.
The forecast provided by the National Weather Service underestimated the amount of rain which was described as a 1-in-100-year event.

I live in the area. We've had a 50 and 100 year flood in 98 and 2000. And now 2025. All 3 years have been after a huge drought.
These are directly caused by human made climate change and yet the government fails to provide the extra monitoring or incoming

Leonard Peltier’s Story Isn’t Over Yet The Native activist spent nearly fifty years in prison for the killing of two F.B.I. agents. In January, Joe Biden commuted his sentence, and he went home.

the latest from Leonard Peltier-

“Not once have they ever apologized for all that brutality. They’re doing it again. Look what’s happening in Palestine. They’re murdering women, children, babies. I want that story told with my story, that’s what I’m about

A clay sculpture created in the shape and color of an ear of corn, featuring three female Indigenous faces with long hair that represent corn, squash, and beans. Texture around each female face includes corn kernels at the top, bean sprouts and leaves in the middle, and a squash at the bottom. All three indigenous faces appear serious and serene.
