Today is the anniversary of the British evacuating New York City after the end of the Revolutionary War. Here's how I learned about it: the piece that introduced me to the terrific work of @bencarp.bsky.social

I just checked the Russian sanctions list & found that Marco Rubio is still sanctioned by Russia:
#1484 out of 2171 Americans sanctioned by Russia at present (including me).
Needless to say, Witkoff & Kushner, the Kremlin favorites, are not sanctioned.

My birthday is the day after Christmas. My parents' custody decree said that whichever parent I spent Christmas with, I had to spend my birthday with the other one. I spent every Christmas night traveling. From ages 8-14, that was flying across the country alone. So yeah, I've always hated holidays.
