New York Public Library Digital Collections are JUST THE BEST I must say.

eff

all my friends in higher education love to complain about having to use the awful grading software, but now that someone's doing something about it you're just complaining about NOT being able to use it? some people are never happy

Driver in Bill Martin's death charged with three misdemeanors

we often wonder what it might be like if the lockhorns were in an open marriage

Very much looking forward to Senator Lucas' statements on all this nonsense.

I hate how SJWs have infected pop culture with heavy handed lectures instead of having pure thrilling entertainment like when Captain Kirk visited a planet where half the people were purple and half were pink and they hated each other because of it until Mar’Tan Luther Q’ing taught them a better way

Just thinking about these two. I often think about these two... real relationship goals here.

Oh look, the second time this week on this dot com that I get to say the phrase “cooter pie” because I’ve been looking at these cook books lately

@drdougthompson.bsky.social ringing any bells?

I am incandescently angry that William Henry Drayton took 450 words to say what could have been said in 5 in his 1776 charge to the Charles Town grand jury 😤 🤬that dissolute drunken chronic gambler I despise him so much I need to go out & mow my backyard patch of grass and have a crispy porch beer

Why do they call me "El Diablo"? Well, it's because they speak Spanish.

I know it's Friday night but there is never a bad time to ask yourself...

Timely because this dog, named Dementia, got out yesterday and mauled a small dog and a guy who swooped in to rescue the small dog. Dementia has gotten out and attacked me and Lil'Growler before but we survived unscathed. Anyhow... #chompurass

Post a random cool car photo you took on another year, with no explanation. 2019

It's the orphan-crushing machine tweet come to life

I’m fucking horrified that folk 100s of years from now are going to refer to this period as the Trumpian Age or some shit and I’m gonna be lumped in with all the dumb extremist dicks. Solidarity with dead people from the 19th century who thought empire was for arseholes and now get called Victorians

This is amazing

When the “minus context” part of your handle goes hilariously off the rails lol Full quote: “”Almighty and most merciful God, we remember before you all poor and neglected persons whom it would be easy for us to forget: the homeless and the destitute,” etc.

This senator will do anything but focus on the obviously garish authoritarian threat to our democracy.

Y'all... the U.S. Army's Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps wears the traditional color of Continental Army musicians: red. So does the fife and drum corps at Colonial Williamsburg. This administration produces insane bullshit every day but this isn't one of those things.

lol, especially on 2/2

Just sitting here enjoying my @brandonbird.bsky.social art

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger endorsed a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions when they leave prison. State lawmakers passed the amendment and it will now appear on the state ballot.

In Spain's Basque country, activists denounce the war(s) in the Middle East, and EU complicity, and protest against genocide and in solidarity with Palestine. In Guernica, the Spanish town where fascists bombed civilians in 1937 (depicted in Picasso's famous painting) residents have special sympathy

Needed to share

Disagreeing w/ section chief & the political appointee dept secretary said, “he has his PhD dont you think he knows what he’s talking about?” Section chief was a dumbass he did not know what he’s talking about I learned that having the PhD opened doors and earned you trust, so I went and got one.

April 23, 1776: William Drayton, chief justice of South Carolina’s Supreme Court, states that King George III “has no authority over us, and we owe no obedience to him." He says the colonies have a duty to declare independence in an address to the opening session of the Charleston Grand Jury. 1/5

lol I was looking for an image for my exhibit on South Carolina in the Revolution and... long story short... I discovered that this guy is a brother of my 7th great grandfather.

Carter Glass was an intensely racist Progressive.

Every clock in #Virginia tonight…

Were I in Richmond today, I'd go over to Oakwood cemetery and get a photo of a vast field of unmarked graves were nearly 15,000 soldiers are buried.... most of whom died of disease.

The evidence is so clear: care means kids who thrive. Blocking care means kids who suffer. And too many kids who don’t survive their teenage years.

lol

Rivers are now a battlefield.

That time Worf’s dad and Riker’s dad met Jessica Fletcher

Billy Failing does some amazing things with his banjo I tell you whut

Me, smdh, after every history oriented sermon at my history conscious church.

Shouldn’t they be working to get us back to the original climate markers from 1789?

Can we give it a rest with the "selling his soul to the devil" nonsense. He got good by studying with other musicians and practicing. Why repeat the myth as if it's a thing?

This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles. That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org. (All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).

Recent research makes very clear that a vast majority of Americans still very much believe in the values of the Declaration. In fact, it’s only the most extreme conservatives who think those values are insufficient to define the nation and its people! www.nationhoodlab.org/nationhood-l...

Drop your crime fighting Catholics

"weak on crime" is a hoot, but it's "weak on nuclear weapons" that's really sending me. sir, do you want vatican city to begin enriching uranium?
