Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

The Washington Post's faltering performance in this week's competition with the NYT and Atlantic to pull focus from the emergent authoritarian has raised new concerns among friends of constitutional democracy as this nation heads toward the election.

Give it a fucking rest! You are platforming actual fascists. You aren't doing news, you are engaged in propaganda ... just like in 2016. Driving chaos for clicks isn't "objective" it's embarrassing.

Three things that are true: 1) I did not support Biden in the 2020 primary 2) I thought Biden looked like a reanimated corpse at the debate 3) I have every confidence that he is fully capable of being President, and the New York Times and other outlets are fucking him to goose readership

Y'all have had Thatcher and other women, however briefly...It's as simple as misogyny and racism here. (I live in the South) Also progressives don't like her because she was Attorney General of California (I don't know the specifics of this)

For anyone doing this: USPS prices are going up on July 14th. Postcard stamps are going up from 53¢ to 56¢, & regular stamps are going up by 5¢.
I think you can order them at the old prices from USPS until the 13th. USPS sells one variety of 'forever' postcard stamp: store.usps.com/store/produc...

In case you don't know this young man was going 82 in a 45 zone, ran a red light and killed a young mother and father and their son. I think he had an open container. And a lot of previous charges. Sadly the driver has a young wife who is either pregnant or expecting their child.

Thanks so much Greg. I'm sure you know about this horrible case. This young man already had so many traffic citations/tickets/etc he must have been getting them since he learned to drive.

@gregdoucette.bsky.social Please what does this mean? "Jordan Porter, 25, was released from the hospital on Friday. Porter was scheduled to appear in court Monday for the first time after the May 27 crash, but his case was continued after his attorney waived the appearance." WRAL didn't explain. TIA

Well, after many years I canceled my @nytimes.com subscription online. I also have a subscription to The Athletic which I couldn't find any way to cancel. I don't feel proud or virtuous, but I stopped reading their political coverage years ago and today's front page was the last straw.

Clicked in this morning and the entire front page is "we want Trump" as they continue to write about Biden being "Weekend at Bernie's". They don't even try to hide it.
