American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.

Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Anyway, the answer is both & neither & so much more besides. Women, whether real or characters from stories, can be just as complex & complicated & good & bad as men. There's so much more work to be done on all women in history before we can understand the significance of any one woman's legacy.

@bageltheory.bsky.social What's in the cioppino bagel? It wasn't as different as the dukkah, but still a new type of tasty savory bagel. And it wasn't as quirky as I expected from the name, lol. #pdx #bagel

And because that carceral state is for profit, when there aren't enough immigrants to incarcerate & profit from, they'll start criminalizing citizens by making their ethnicities &/or religions illegal so they can be turned into profit producing items in Miller's whiteopia fantasies.
We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.*

The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity.

So many of the news reports about the Black and Tans are like this - just shooting at passers by at random.

Rob Hirst (and the rest of the Oils) were a gateway to entire continents of music I had no clue about in high school. And for the last twenty years, whenever I looked, he had a new album or project out, making music with lots of different people.
The part of the Australian Music World that we love has a hole in its heart today. Rob Hirst had kindness, substance, drive and ability. Songwriter, Drummer, backing vocalist extraordinaire, entertainer, agitator. Condolences to all those feeling this loss.

Great thread on carnyxs found in Britiain!
The new Norfolk Iron Age carnyx find featured on #DiggingForBritain with @profaliceroberts.bsky.social is beyond spectacular, dating to that crucial period for the Iceni between Caesar’s expeditions & Boudica’s rebellion. Already my find of the decade, today is a day to worship the carnyx…

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

And by my power

The light to bring
To rouse the gods

In re. the changing nature of American cafe culture, sometimes we all become Grandpa Simpson yelling at the cloud. Zibetto is simply excellent, if you are ever in Midtown Manhattan.
