Businesses frequently love to steal historic photos off the internet w/out paying fees to the (usually broke history or archives collection) rights holder, so 👏. This is way better than how some Whole Foods have a cheesy "our heritage" photo of the original founders at the original store on N Lamar.

Is there a term for when a businesses uses a reproduction of a historic photo or map of the location to signal authenticity? Spotted this photo citation in a Mendocino Farms that made me smile b/c having worked with CSL, I know that they made MF put up this notice for the rights to use their photo.

Welcome back (sorry about the Mariners, though as a native of Los Angeles sure did enjoy the game on Friday because it’s been a rough year for that city)

Having grown up around people who worked on the Apollo missions, it’s easy to imagine the absolute contempt that they would have for somebody like him as an empty soulless person.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

I regret to inform you that many of Trump's supporters believe in the prosperity gospel, which means they believe that God's anointed one misusing funds to create a luxury homage to himself is A-OK with them (and, they believe, Jesus)

“The ousting comes amid a critical dispute within academia about how to rebuild confidence in higher education in a politically polarized moment.”

This is such a tortured story frame it is functionally a lie. Greg Abbott is not trying to rebuild confidence, he is proudly conducting a purge.

So there's a new season of Lupin in the works, a movie about art theft called The Mastermind just came out, and now the Louvre heist. This means something.

Her and that pediatrician in South Carolina are 100% some kind of fundraising scheme for DNCC consultants. It’s the same graft that happened in the 90s with every candidate that got trotted out against Jesse Helms.

All gender & certain branches of Protestantism that think it means not get above your raising. It was around in the older rural generations of my family where everyone was working on a ranch or later in a factory.

Good thing the military isn't woke anymore and is willing to take the fight to our enemies, like Colombian fisherman and Interstate 5.
