Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms.

The 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to immediate, sweeping, bipartisan gun law reforms.

I will admit, my "for you" feed when I had to open X to look into the misinfo floating around on that was just graphic videos interspersed with misinformation.

I miss the days when hospitals made their own food for patients, staff, and visitors. It created jobs and provided far better nutrition for everyone.
Feast your eyes on these festive cakes from Christmas 1951 at St Bartholomew's Hospital. These photos show how all the food was still made 'in-house' at the hospital

#OTD in 1961 the contraceptive pill was introduced on the NHS.

While the pill continues to be debated and at times still attracts controversy, it is important to remember what it offered women: greater control over their own bodies.

The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away.

Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
