I love this from @kiteandkeymedia! Showing it to the kids today. The drama, the hardships, the compromises, the injustices, the epic clashes over them, the miracle that is the formation of America in under 10 mins.

@realJeremyCarl @TheEconomist I remember when the Economist was a decent center/center right periodical 20 years ago and I subscribed.

You ain't seen nothin' yet on the Ohio home health fiasco. Part 2 drops now!

One landlord alone owns 7 buildings in Columbus containing 288 Medicaid firms that billed a quarter billion dollars.

And boy, do the characters who are (supposed to be) inside have stories.

We were there front and center.

That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government.

After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.

OTD,1775. Samuel Whittemore,aged 80 becomes a legend.

Whittemore working in his fields spotted an approaching British relief brigade, sent to assist the retreat from Concord. Whittemore loaded his musket and ambushed the British grenadiers of the 47th Regiment of Foot from behind a nearby stone wall, killing one soldier. He then drew his dueling pistols, killed a second grenadier and mortally wounded a third. By the time Whittemore had fired his third shot, a British detachment had reached his position; Whittemore drew his sword and attacked.He was subsequently shot in the face, bayoneted numerous times, and left for dead in a pool of blood. He was found by colonial forces, trying to load his musket to resume the fight. He was taken to Dr. Cotton Tufts of Medford, who perceived no hope for his survival. However, Whittemore recovered and lived another 18 years until dying of natural causes at the age of 98. -wiki.

On this day in 1775, Paul Revere warned of the British coming with his now-legendary ride

Longfellow's 1860 poem made it iconic, but it wasn't Revere's only dramatic ride

He had done similar alarm missions previously, including one in December 1774 to thwart British plans of seizing a New Hampshire fort

Historian Tom Holland explaining the revolutionary impact Christianity made on gender and sexuality which is so often taken for granted now in the West:

"Because of Christianity, I mean, I think every society has had an idea of binaries, that in sex there are two roles that people have to play to have sex, and for us, it's based on gender. It's based on the idea of there being men and women and that's again an inheritance ultimately from Genesis, God creating men and women separate. But for the Romans, that wasn't the case. For the Romans, the binary was between the male Roman citizen and everybody else, and the male Roman citizen could do what he liked to everybody else...

So you know you're a Roman slave owner, you can do what you like to your slaves sexually, any it doesn't matter what the gender of the slave is. It doesn't matter what the age is. You can just treat them as you want, and of course Christianity radically, radically changes that. And you know, if you are a scullery maid in a Roman household (a bit like a Yazidi girl in an Isis household), there's nothing to stop you being raped every day. Nothing to stop you. No legal power, I mean, no sense of moral disapproval at all, and so you can imagine the radical effect of getting a letter from Paul being told, 'you are the like the church.' It's utterly transformative."

@Watchman_motto Read this book to my 2 boys last year. We all loved it. After finishing it, my oldest son, 9, said, “I want to read that to my son when I’m a dad.” He’s never said anything like that before. Plus we made toad in the hole for dinner after finishing.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

If it were a movie plot, we'd roll our eyes at it for being too on the nose but here we are in real life...
