Anyone now what happened to Kevin Leven (@civilwarmemory.bsky.social)? Why was his account deactivated?

Camera can't do it justice, but breathtaking sunrise today in my little neighborhood:

The last two NFL/Europe halftime shows have reassured me that, when it comes to pop music at least, the Americans are still ahead.

I don't really know if Jung said this or not, but the sentiment remains true regardless of who said it. Seems apropos for our judgmental age.

Ahem. Some knowledge should be kept to oneself, Sarah.

The Bethune house, a/the most important archive for US Black women's history, is currently without an archivist, so the archive is closed to researchers. Thanks to the hiring freeze, there is no plan to reopen. I don't understand why the whole profession hasn't filed a class action lawsuit.

It is a microcosm--or perhaps a synecdoche?--of the broader MAGA tendency of Trump giving people permission to be their absolute worst, most unhinged, most hateful and unregulated selves.

I don't know to which corporate overlord the Tylenol brand belongs, but I hope whomever that overlord is sues the $#%&* outta the federal government.
