"...built in the garden of their rural property."

Built a pump/jump track on property they own in a rural area to have some fun.

Gov - this is a no fun zone.

Miami Vice @ 10... I'm morbidly interested in the Dukes of Hazzard episode where they go back to 1862. Lots of topics to ignore in 80s prime time TV with that plotline.

Savoy dancers, 1930s New York Age In 1941

March 12, 1926: The Savoy Ballroom opens on Lenox Ave. in Manhattan, “dedicated exclusively to Colored People.” The nightspot that Langston Hughes will come to call the “Heartbeat of Harlem” is luxurious and spacious, a step up from so many smoky, cramped dance halls. 1/6

You can’t gaslight people at the checkout line.

You can’t spin rising rents, groceries, basic services with lies and talking points.

Working people know what they’re experiencing every day AND the cost-of-living crisis is very real.

Judge Orders Colorado to Stop Throwing Prisoners in Solitary for Refusing to Work - Bolts Years after voters amended the state's constitution to ban forced labor in prison, a court ruling could finally make Colorado change how prison guards "compel and coerce" work.

NEW at Bolts: For years, Colorado has been ignoring a ballot initiative that was meant to eliminate forced labor in prisons.

A judge finally said enough, and ordered the state to stop punishing people for refusing to work (for a mere pennies).

On the big CO ruling:
