Yes, I’m pulling the car over to look at plaques. I’ll be just a minute. Not a historian, but did minor in history at Indiana University. Formerly notgoingpro on other socials.
Jarace Walker played 38 minutes because he gave the Pacers the best chance to lose
I know we’re supposed to celebrate a key “win” for the tank but this is just depressing. How do Wizards and Jazz fans put up with this year after year?
And yet… Nesmith is back?
AJ Dybantsa is feeling better, realizing he might not end up a King after all
Your statement about you’ll know if they’re tanking rings especially true tonight.
The Pacers have tried so hard tonight to tank. And it’s finally working.
I’m a bit surprised Nesmith is back in
And yet…
Saw some Chicago religious history walking around the Loop: the first Jewish temple in Illinois (in 1847, and still in existence, now in Hyde Park) and the first works of local charity by the Sisters of Mercy (in 1846). What sits today on the temple site should look familiar to Ferris Bueller fans
Nesmith going for Bam tonight
There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.
It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

“You think in a blowout a team would keep feeding their star” tonight the answer was hell yeah
Kings have Killian Hayes so they may be their ace in the hole
Blame Luke Kornet
His covers albums with Susanna Hoffs are sublime
Seeing Matthew Sweet at the Vogue in Indianapolis in 1995 was one of my favorite shows. Truly 100% Fun!
One of the people pushing for a historical marker where Jimmy and Roslyn Carter lived as newlyweds said he hopes “these little kids walking to and from school will see and hopefully ask mom and dad, ‘Who’s Jimmy Carter?’”
They’ll answer, “ask your grandparents.” www.wtkr.com/news/in-the-...
The ick factor on who dedicated a plaza to to Marshall Plan guy in his hometown keeps going up bsky.app/profile/hist...
ZZ Top appeared on a BBC show with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark in 1980 and nicked not only their sound but also their dance moves domino.elfworld.org/omd-zz-top-s...
The end of the post-World War II order was foretold in 2003. A plaza was dedicated to the late George Marshall, of Marshall Plan and NATO development fame, in his hometown of Uniontown, Pa. There to dedicate it was… Epstein-class royal Prince Andrew.

I stopped at a historical marker with more bounce to the ounce — one memorializing the former site of Roger Troutman’s studio in Dayton, Ohio. The former Zapp frontman and “California Love” guest vocoder-ist’s space is now a small park and memorial.
octavia butler, david cronenberg, and douglas adams are the three 20th century artists with the clearest read on the future we now begin to inhabit

A historical marker in St Mary’s County, Maryland, is going up March 29 to denote it as the birthplace of stuffed ham. Still to come - a historical marker in Albany, New York, to celebrate it as the birthplace of steamed hams.
Some friends came to visit me in #Austin this weekend. Before they left we decided to visit the O. Henry Museum.
The author of “The Gift of the Magi” & “The Ransom of Red Chief” lived in this house between 1893 & 1895.
(It’s also the site of the O. Henry Pun-Off World Championships!)
