I think people believe Pyrex is more recent than it is, associating it with postwar culture. They are partly correct, except it is the First World War, not WW2. Libertyville Independent, December 16, 1920 #foodhistory #technology

This still from the 1956 Czechoslovak adaptation of Jarasav Hašek's "The Good Soldier Švejk" is everything

You can’t change what’s going on, but you can put some cardboard, soil, and seeds where there was once weeds and crabgrass and watch it unfold to everyone’s enjoyment

I went to Eastern Slovakia recently: in the small village of Betliar that my grandmother left after Christmas of 1922, in the cemetery, stands a WWI monument that probably went up after she left. It bears the name of her brother, Ján Holečko. He died in an Italian POW camp in 1918.

You have to love the pricing algorithm of Hertz. If you *really* want that Skoda Kodiaq it's only $2663 a day 😂

That time in 1914 when Joe Impastato got hauled in to court for selling White patrons alcohol on a Black license, the segregation part of the Gay-Shattuck liquor law of 1908. If the address of 500 Chartres rings a bell, this is the Napoleon House.

I'd like to read more into the election results, and there are some positives, but it is substantially mitigated by the fact that the "NO" side just had a good ground game for a change. A commensurate Republican turnout might have passed one or more, but not on the proportion of last November.

I've never grown ranunculus bulbs before but they are super satisfying. Poppies always seem to fail here in Louisiana but these are making up for it.
