I grew up in this school district, glad to see the school board got told to go pound sand.
Kevin M. Levin@civilwarmemory.bsky.social · yesterdayYesterday, a federal judge ruled that the Shenandoah County, VA school board broke the law when it brought back Confederate names for two of its schools in 2024. The testimony of two historians played a key role in the judge's decision. 🗃️ www.washlaw.org/wp-content/u...
Today is Roma Holocaust Memorial Day. Around 500,000 Roma & Sinti people were killed by the Nazis in the Porajmos. There was no state given to them after the war. Commemoration of their suffering is often diminished or forgotten. Racism towards Romani people across Europe remains acceptable.

Conan the Barbarian when I was 3. I remember small bits, and my dad getting chewed out by my mom for his questionable parenting choices 🤣
Patrick Klepek@patrickklepek.bsky.social · 3w agoDo you remember what *your* first R-rated movie was? I finally asked my mom (I couldn't remember), and she told me it was The Lost Boys when I was roughly the same age as my daughter (about 9). The movie traumatized her more than it did me, apparently
Since my time working with my father, Bail Organa, to promote Alderaan’s charity and interplanetary aid projects, I’ve encountered Moff Tarkin on numerous occasions. He was passionate about logistics. His sudden death will have a considerable impact on the Imperial governance structure.
The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti
To my understanding, this is an accurate summation of the state of schism:
Took my kids to the Northern Central railway yesterday for an hour long ride. It was awesome, they even got to climb in the can and blow the whistle at the end.

To all the dads outs out there, happy Father’s Day. To all the people who can’t interact with their dad today for whatever reason, I’m proud of the person you’ve grown up to be, and how you’ve overcome your challenges in life. I love you, stop messing with the thermostat, I have it set just right.
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and— I said look. Look with your eyes! Oh now you’ve gone and touched it. The paint is peeling. My beautiful paint! I’ll have to call my pool guy back. Vandal! Antifa! I said look And despair Nothing but the algae remains.
Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

ellie lockhart (she/they)@eleanor.lockhart.contact · 2mo agoThe way we save democracy is to win the next two major election cycles and then devastate every voting group that either votes Republican OR abstains, ensuring they remain demoralized and silenced while we elevate a new middle class hegemony of white collar upwardly mobile knowledge workers

I have read and reread the US-Iran draft memorandum of understanding (MoU) supposed to be signed on June 19. It looks as if the Iranians formulated their most outlandish wishlist & Trump just approved it. /1
This is exactly how a renfield would act.
