Yeah. "In 1963 President John F. Kennedy called on the Mississippi National Guard to help desegregate the University of Mississippi. He did the same to integrate the University of Alabama.
In 1965, President Johnson deployed the National Guard without the support of Alabama Gov. George Wallace."
Ha! That's a good one! And a block!

I have a lot of books about ghosts and hauntings on my shelves. So, as we countdown to Halloween 2025, I'm going to pick a book and a ghost/haunting from that book and post a little bluesky sized summary of that on here.

So I “finished” this cicada that has been taunting me since last summer. Not really the image I was aspiring to when I started but I think it’s still fairly identifiable as a cicada so I’m going to have to let it go.

Jenna would make Liz write jokes for her, Liz would write a bunch of feminist material because she’s mad at Jenna and then try to pull it at the last minute because she’s worried for Jenna’s safety. Jenna would ham it up so hard that the Saudis would love it as parody of shrill American women

Trump next week: “And we’re looking very strongly at Salt Lake City. They call it SLC. There are “punks” there. Lots and lots of punks. They have blue hair, they’re running around with sheets of acid in their pockets and tripping for days and days. They’re scaring good Christians in Wyoming.”
Wondering what movie he just saw. My guess is “The Book of Eli” (2010)
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."
