from now until Election Day, we connect every story back to Project 2025 Eg: The FBI is currently investigating the Trump shooter. But did you know that Project 2025 will place the FBI under Trumpā€™s direct control, so he can decide which acts of political violence get investigated, and which donā€™t?from now until Election Day, we connect every story back to Project 2025 Eg: The FBI is currently investigating the Trump shooter.

Can't get this out of my brain. There's something so perfect about it for the moment we're in. And then there are the Larry David wigs in the video... www.youtube.com/watch?v=094d...

Wonder if any c18 history šŸ—ƒļø friends might be able to help decipher some handwriting. I'm looking at a diary of a rather mature Yale undergrad (he's 22 in 1788) in which he mentions reading a "journal" of someone's "letters." The names are a bit unclear. This is followed by a blacked-out paragraph.

1788 diary entry
zooming in on the mystery names. kind of looks like "Messrs Ja[me]s & Jno [Jonathan] Henshaw Letters" but I'm not getting any hits for variations on those names.
The blacked out entry, just for fun. I don't anticipate being able to make out anything here. The page that follows is fully of handwringing about social morals and includes some Latin confessions that the diarist used to participate in some of the same sins, etc.

The speed with which many of our faux free speech fundamentalists started demanding the use of state force to punish pro Palestinian protesters is remarkable, they do not even seem to perceive a contradiction

Funny how the older I get the more I find new meaning in this novel.

La Trahison des images

A captcha-style meme featuring only images of the pipe from Rene Magritteā€™s painting ā€œLa Trahison des imagesā€, which famously contains the text ā€œCeci nā€™est pas une pipeā€.
