Many felt it was unpatriotic to wear so much cloth in the face of war time rationing. So in the brewing stew of racial tensions in 1943 Los Angeles, some sailors went around beating up young Latinos for wearing these big clothes. This was known as the Zoot Suit Riots.

In his 1919 muckraking exposé The Brass Check, Upton Sinclair wrote about people who worked in offices and those who labored in the mailrooms below. This is where we got the terms "white collar" and "blue collar," which allowed ppl to sidestep uncomfortable discussions of class.

i’m mad that everything about the internet that was fun & useful 10 years ago is broken now. this site, obviously. reviews are astroturf lies. search is ai hallucination. no place to share with friends & family without influencer / meme / polarized content overrunning the feed.

8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

New: Roblox’s predator problem. This 8-mo investigation with @livcarville exposes how predators find & groom children over Roblox. Police and child safety experts say it’s time for accountability & change. So do some Roblox employees Bloomberg interviewed https://t.co/N4YDg2VTS5

With the NWS issuing a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for New York City, it’s possible a Warning may also be issued. Know the difference between a Watch and a Warning:

It’s pretty damning that they would rather take down the system than show Scarlett’s lawyers how they did the work.
