A bill to protect Miccosukee Tribal members was vetoed this week
Trump talks about Denmark and Greenland just now: "The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land."

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.
Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

I do love how archaeology works. "Hey, this is still wrong, but 'less wrong, so let's go with it!'"
With no disrespect to the post below, this is another inaccurate map of the Roman road network of Wales. Both this and the recently publicised digital atlas of ancient roads leaves out roads confirmed in Wales 30 years ago
Still old (2011) - but better is this map...

Sapphire and Steel, a Brit TV series from the turn of the 80s where Joanna Lumley and David McCallum are elegantly dressed elemental forces that repair the web of time. Sci-fi with no spaceship dog fights, just lots of opaque dialogue. I love it.

this is a story i wish i had thought to do: some canadian snowbirds are trying to sell their florida residences, but a bad housing market is making it increasingly hard
Some snowbirds want out of Florida. A bad housing market makes it hard to leave | CBC News
As the era of bilateral bad blood between Canada and the U.S. drags on, some snowbirds are facing a choice this January: Go south to warmer climes, or boycott a country that has gone from friend to so...

Revisiting something off Chile de Árbol, that I received on an mp3 in 2003. Reading it's kernal makes me follow my relationship to it and my history.
Huh.
Not entirely comfortable.

I just learned that this incredibly flawed story was put on the front page of the newspaper, and that certainly seems like an editorial choice
New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok!
So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵

On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid.
