If you told Herbert Morrison that nationalised healthcare only benefitted the poor, he'd angrily tell you he had no sight in his right eye.
Hs middle-class parents didn't have time or money to take him to a doctor for what seemed like a "minor" infection.
By the time it got worse, it was too late.

In the late 1800s, when people started using the word "donate", it made some folks mad. The word is a back-formation of the word "donation" and was seen as a degradation of English.

This ancient Mesopotamian carved rock is a forgery, purporting to come from an even more ancient time. The writing on it is extremely fake and old timey in a way that is obvious to archaeologists. It includes the line 'this is not a lie, it is indeed the truth' www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...

Cruciform stone monument; inscribed on every face with about 346 lines of archaising writing.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

I mean, yeah, this is the Sermon on the Mount and we Christians have had our best lawyers drilling loopholes in that for 2,000 years.
But still, swearing an oath on a Bible is like getting a Leviticus 19:28 tattoo. It only makes sense as deliberate, transgressive irony.

Because I saw one too many "Blue states should..." posts, I went and did a thing.
This is a map of the US, based on the 2024 presidential election. Each state is colored according to the percentage red or blue it voted.
You may notice a conspicuous absence of "red" or "blue" states.

also if we can get all of BlueSky doing pushups major media outlets will probably write some very funny articles about it
If you are very angry and would like to do something with that anger you should join me in doing Pushups Every Day Until the World Gets Better.
You only need to do at least one (1) a day! You can also do squats!

need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.
