  1. OT, but have you seen this at The Federalist?

    I grew up a few miles from Antietam, and rode past the Bloody Lane once a week going to the Martinsburg VA Hospital as a volunteer for the Junior Red Cross. Don’t these idiots know that Antietam was why Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation? Is this what happens whe critical race theory replaces history?

  2. I think the conventional name for the battle in Confederate circles is ‘Sharpsburg’

  3. Expat:

    It must be “racis” or something to recognize they are evil idiots, and dangerous.

  4. Since Tom Jones and Bonnie Tyler are the only Welsh singers that come to mind, how come they never did a duet?

    “But I know what it once was. I saw it myself. I was there at the Great Digital Revolution. On the fringes of it, yes, but there nonetheless. I remember it, and I remember the dream that drove it forward; the vision of a better world that we thought we were creating, before it all turned to ashes in our mouths. And now, as its last few embers die out in an age in which “Big Tech” has become a byword for privatized corporate tyranny, it is perhaps worth a moment to reflect on what that dream was and how it came to such a bitter end.”

  6. I highly recommend the Literal Safety Dance.

    Stupid song with stupid video. The literal version makes it funny!!
