We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

This person is in my business and I don’t like it. 🤣

This is my kind of carrying on.

“I’m docking her pay.”
“Aint nobody coming to see you, Otis”
“I’m so excited…I’m so scared.”
“Uh oh. Time to go!”

Grew up Pentecostal so I definitely get this. Invited a friend to one of our services back in college and the flabber was gasted. 😩😂

I grew up Baptist and the first time I went to a Holiness/Pentecostal service was a SHOCK 😂

This brought me so much joy!

“The work is the joy.” Thank you for giving me this language.

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

On this day in 1997, Elton John performed his heartfelt rendition of "Candle In The Wind" at Princess Diana's funeral. This version became the best-selling single of all time in the UK and the 2nd-biggest-selling song in history.

Open up a restaurant for the rest of us!

They need to put an extra day between Saturday and Sunday because this is getting ridiculous
