PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

Not sure what to make of it but in two days at the Antique Automobile Club of America’s eastern fall meet (largest old car event in the country) I saw exactly one MAGA hat and zero trump banners/stickers/shirts. It was not like that last time I was there

YOU CAN LOOK AT THE SCORE OF THE NORTHWESTERN GAME NOW

Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 2d

I will not be directing anyone’s attention towards the score of the Northwestern game, it’s too early

Porcupine Knox. Later models have a little fan at the top of the cylinder but this one’s just got hundreds and hundreds of threaded rods stuck into the cylinder head and exhaust. lol

Close up of the one-cylinder engine showing hundreds of threaded rods screwed head-on into the block and exhaust manifold giving the impression of a porcupine

I wonder if they were doing work on the sidewalk and built that as part of a ramp to an accessible on-street route & forgot to remove it when the work was done

Kentucky famously did not secede but Governor Magoffin demanded both confederate and Union troops stay out of the state (which they ignored). So that’s not true

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 6d

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.
