An Enslaved Man Made Thousands of Ceramic Pots. Now, a Boston Museum Has Returned Two of Them to His Descendants
Many of David Drake's large vessels featured his signature and inscriptions, even though he created them during a time when literacy among enslaved laborers was illegal

Just a reminder that Valve Corporation, which runs Steam, has donated exclusively to Democratic candidates and the Democratic Party in federal elections for 2020, 2022, and 2024. It's one of the few tech companies still aligned with morality. They deserve credit for standing with democracy.

Well this is peak meta: I broke all of my reading glasses except for one last pair (out of 5). I sit down during a break at work to order a new pair online, but because my one last pair at home I can’t see well enough to order new glasses. 😖🤦🏽♂️

Grokipedia is entirely dependent on the whims of Elon Musk. It completely deadnames and misgender Chelsea Manning despite not doing so for other prominent trans people. It has no article for Vivian Wilson despite her having a Wikipedia page.

📣 Political violence is gun violence, and it’s silencing our First Amendment freedoms. The ‘individual right’ to carry guns isn’t from 1791 — it was created by the gun lobby Supreme Court justices in 2008 (Heller) & expanded in 2022 (Bruen).

“Antifa” isn’t an organisation. It’s an ADJECTIVE. It’s a contraction of anti-fascist. So by “outlawing Antifa”, Trump is literally proposing to make it illegal to oppose fascism.

Antifa is not a real group, and therefore can’t be labeled as “terrorist.” It is a creation by MAGA to create a fake “radical left.” Proud Boys, Oath Keepers & Patriot Front are real groups that should be labeled “terrorist” immediately.

So the person who killed Charlie Kirk is not: Trans Black Hispanic A woman An immigrant He’sTyler Robinson. He’s a 22 year old white guy. His dad is 27 year vet from the Washington county sheriff’s office. He looks like a good Christian boy to me. His family are registered Republicans. He’s a MAGA.

Tyler Robinson has been ID'ed as the Kirk shooter. Raised in the stereotypical All-American white conservative family with a sheriff for a father, Tyler grew up around guns and knew how to use them. It's the guns.

He spread hatred, and violence. The fact that he did it with a smile on his face, and college campuses rather than on the streets, does not make him any better or different than any other despicable creature.

If you actually support Trump, just a reminder that it still won't save you. For him this may be a subtle threat to deport Musk, but it's still a threat Eventually, whenever you finally disagree with him, he'll turn the alligators on you. It's a dictatorship. No one is safe.
