This does help explain why every MAGA "celebrity" we hear about is a C-lister who peaked as a TV star twenty years ago, or the guy who used to be popular until they caught in a public fiasco

Read into the Congressional Record this past April by Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed:
Even if Vance can convince voters he was an Iran war skeptic from the start, that only means he was too weak and ineffectual to do anything about it. “Don’t blame me, I tried and failed” isn’t exactly a message that will portray him as a strong leader. @paulwaldman.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's PN:
JD Vance will never escape the albatross of the Iran War
No matter how many stories he feeds the Times about all his doubts.

Aaron Fritschner@fritschner.bsky.social · last mo.Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.
People of colour are nothing new to European society. Here's are some beautiful studies of a Flemish neighbour of Peter Paul Rubens from over 400 years ago, painted in around 1615.
Does anyone I know have a subscription to the English version of Ha’aretz? There’s an opinion piece I’d like to read, and I can’t afford a subscription for one piece!

Well, shoot. Apparently, three weeks of hardly moving from the couch, bingeing frivolous novels and doomscrolling leads to being barely able to straighten up after 45 min of yard work. And I still had to do 45 min more! I hate getting old
Still not a huge fan of TC, though. I can never get past the feeling that he’d smirk at the audience, if he could

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
For historians updating their World/Global History teaching notes for the Fall semester, here's a 🧵 summarizing the latest paleogenomics study on early modern smallpox retrieved from Chilean mummies. #histmed #LatinAmerica #IndigenousHistory 🧪🗃️
Monica H Green@monicamedhist.bsky.social · last mo.A tl;dr summary of the following 🧵: the recovery of smallpox aDNA from an early modern Chilean site is a VERY IMPORTANT milestone in the history of this global disease--still the only human disease to be completely eradicated. My reservation is whether claims of a European source are supported.

Y’all, Fb keeps throwing those AI/live-action internet dramas, as well as romantasy and dark romance books, at me. And of course, I look. Tbh, I’ve not read a romance novel since I was an undergrad. They have changed a lot. But— I actually just read one where the MCs are insightful, the only 1/ 2
