It's hard to overstate what a disaster Kash Patel is. See the many disturbing details here, from @vermontgmg.bsky.social, an expert on the FBI.

If your church is turning away people who show up to your doors in good faith, you don't have a church. You have a very expensive book club with scarcely any wine.

Eel smuggling is a major problem today. But it's not new!
In 1463, London city officials arrested 9 Zeeland merchants who tried to slip 97 barrels of salted eels past customs at Billingsgate. They wanted to avoid import fees, but wound up facing a £40 fine.

It's not absurd to say that a lot of new dance music that's being put out now has already been done by a person in Chicago or Detroit 30-40 years ago. It also bothers me seeing scalpers resell their records for an insane while the original artist(s) have made little to money after putting them out
Also, it’s videos like these that make the conversation about dance music muddy. The industry fucked over a lot of Black artists and still does. However, the culture itself has always been DEEPLY reverential and VERY well-versed in it’s history.
One of my all-time favorite songs!

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

It's Monday. Mondays are hard. Perhaps some eels will help?
In c. 1500, Roger de Cailli promised 1,500 eels a year to the priory of Castleacre if the monks would pray for the souls of his mother, father, & 2 departed wives.
Remember folks: eels are the way out of purgatory. Even on Mondays.
