Now would be a great time for a 10 episode, 20 hour prestige series about the ten years between 1916 and 1926, covering the establishment of the 8-hr work day & 5-day work week, in the US. Each episode would be one year & the middle episode should be entirely devoted to the Battle of Blair Mountain.

A member of the neo-Nazi white separatist group PNW Wolf Pack fell to his death trying to pick a mistletoe from a tree this holiday season 🎄❄

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

If you're saying that Israel as a Jewish ethnostate is the only way to protect Jews like me, what I hear you saying is "it's too hard to not kill Jews in our own countries so we're not going to try."

It was so great to walk into @spectatorbooks.bsky.social and see my poetry collection about science fiction and lesbian disasters and David Bowie on the local authors shelf. Stock up on books from indie bookstores this holiday season. They are champions.
