I added my cooking to the Juneteenth celebration on my block...given that the other cooks were from Chile and said "I don't know that" when I sid soul food, my rural MO self stepped in and did the trick--bbq chicken legs, bbq ribs, Southern mac-n-cheese, collard greens with smoked turkey. juneteent

You Have Permission to Be a Smartphone Skeptic - The Bulwark
Recently, the news that minor British celebrity Sophie Winkelman had pulled her children out of a posh school because students there were going to be issued iPads occasioned the brief return of one of my favorite discursive topics—are the kids all right?—in one of my least-favorite variations: why s..

🚨 BOOM! Chef José Andrés DESTROYS Gregg Abbott for dehumanizing 5 mass shooting victims in Texas.
"Nobody is illegal in heaven, ‘dear’ Gov! You speak with hate about immigrants, that rhetoric is what may have created this situation in the first place. "Show some empathy."
Kudos, Chef Andrés! 💙

Glad to see Biden tonight calling out the GOP House for cuts to the VA. The GOPers are screaming "lies!" at the VA for their cuts, but the VFW came out last week with this letter saying, "yo, WTF?" #Veterans #DebtCeiling #Politics

Thaddeus Stevens and James Buchanan make for strange fellow-citizens in Lancaster, PA. I'm sure they detested each other in their time.

I just finished William Cronon's book, Nature's Metropolis: Chicago and the Great West (1991). Excellent work of environmental and economic history. Hey, Amazon is the new Monty Ward! Read if you want to see how the farm-city-speculator nexus developed.

How in the world can the bajillionaire who already owns the 76ers and NJ Devils now buy the Commanders? Isn't there a conflict of interests in which fan bases he's going to anger? It's like he's trying to be a Giants, Eagles, and DC fan all at once #philly #FlyEaglesFly #Commanders

Took the kid to DC this weekend. We finished the American History Museum--just going through I was thinking, "my God, how can any right-winger see this and not have their heads blown up?" Immigration is celebrated, racism is on display, LGBTQ+ tolerance is a theme. Good on the Smithsonian! #Histo

How cool is it that the Cards' rookie Jordan Walker is being discussed in the same breath as Ted F'ing Williams???!!! The team will turn around for sure once they settle in, but what Walker is doing right now is worth the price of admission. #stlcardinals #jordanwalker

With the the passing of Ben Ferencz, something to see which brings him into a broader discussion of genocide is Watchers of the Sky (2015), a powerful documentary tying Rafael Lemkin to Rwanda, Darfur, Armenia, and the Holocaust. Narrated by Samantha Power. #Genocide #BenjaminFerenczRIP #history

In hindsight, some of us horribly underestimated this phenomenon (while others -- not me, I'll admit -- saw it coming from a mile away).
