A few years ago Kanye went on a massively anti-Semitic rant that prominently featured YooHoo. Today our senile president & literally brainwormed HHS sec. accused Tylenol of causing Autism

Depilation for women in 1700s I have been taking a look at hair removal for women in the 18th and early 19th centuries and it seems highly likely that the only part of their body that they remove hair from was on their face. It’s not clear whether hair removal related just to eyebrows or all…

Keep in mind there's nothing preventing the US from doing nonlethal searches and seizures. The Coast Guard and sometimes Navy often does this. In the time between the 1st and 3rd deadly US strike, sailors from the USS Jason Dunham stopped and searched a ship. The strikes are a deliberate choice.

The last time the world ended, on 21 December 2012, I was more hungover than I've ever been in my life, sitting in a garage Wimpy in Bloemfontein watching a table of about 24 people praying very loudly, wondering if I'd died the previous night in the Mystic Boer and this was hell.

This moment is disturbing even in the mundane: I’ve started taking screenshots of historical sources I’m using in research from the national park service, the smithsonian, and the national archives, just in case they get taken down. It’s now a part of my process and takes time I have to plan for.
