Today is publication day for The Nursing Clio Reader. As I write in the preface of the book, I started Nursing Clio back when I was a second-semester grad student as part of a final project in a public humanities seminar taught by historian Matthew Countryman at UMich. 🧵

NINE YEAR FAJITA HEIST

(technically nine year fajita fraud scheme but I'm counting this as a heist because it's funny enough)
I remember seeing a story years ago where a prison cook was caught having stolen $1.2 million of fajitas over 9 years.

One week he took off sick, someone else answered the order call and was like "what are you talking about? We don't serve fajitas."

The more that gerrymandering tries to squeeze more seats out a fixed pool of voters by lowering expected margins of victory, the more vulnerable it becomes to a wave in which the expectations are upset. There are self-interested reasons why many Republican incumbents haven't wanted to redistrict.
This race is close and, given how much Democrats outperformed the polls a few weeks ago, a win is actually possible.

But even a narrow loss in a gerrymandered district Trump won by 22 points last year would be a sign of significant progress.

The original post -- hey, you dumb idiots, are you still angry about the tech initiative that steals your work? -- was pretty bad faith itself.
Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

A lotta y’all still don’t get it.

Flask holders can use multiple Django’s on a single datasette.

So if you have one datasette and three Django’s you can create three new Flasks.

80% of the responses are negative, but not “bad faith.” Those are two different things.

If you ever wonder what it's like to be a homeowner, if you happen to have a broken window, you'll have one guy come out and say you need a new window and it will cost $3000, and then the next day, you'll have a new guy replace the broken panes for $200.

Now THIS is the kind of holiday gossip I want! Aunt Ellen will never live this down.
My family had always kept notes about every Thanksgiving. That's why Great Aunt Ellen using INSTANT MASHED POTATOES in 1993 will never be forgotten.

This. I want to read the bad food takes, I want to hear all about your hiding place at your in-laws while the uncles fight, I want to know the weirdest holiday traditions you have. I want to rank Thanksgiving side dishes. All of it.
my take on Food Discourse is that it's always ridiculous but it's also nice to be fighting about dumb internet shit again instead of dealing with Oppressive Despair all the time so please keep posting your bad takes

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

A movie about Anne of Cleves as the hero. She bravely escapes being married to Henry the VIII, doesn’t have to go back home to get remarried, and just lives her best fucking life in a castle for the rest of her life. She outlives them all.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.
