I know it's economically rewarding for media to make believe the 2024 election is a horserace between equals, and who knows what kinds of shenanigans Putin's favorite party still has up its sleeve, but the STENCH OF DEATH, of PUTRESCENT ROTTING FLESH AND SICKNESS, is hanging over Trump's GOP.

The names of the English and other Germanic weekdays have a long history.

The days were named after the sun, the moon and five Germanic gods.

This system had been adapted from Latin, where it was based on a Hellenistic Greek system, which in turn was based on a Babylonian system.

Here's the whole story:

@yvanspijk Just imagine how boring the days' names would have been if monotheism had caught on earlier.

Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web and Vint Cerf invented the Internet. Some people often talk about one but mean the other.

They once wore custom-made t-shirts to help identify which invention was theirs! #aboutW3C

Tonight in 1960 — THE BUGS BUNNY SHOW debuted on ABC primetime.

It moved to Sat mornings in 1962 and aired until 2000 on ABC/CBS — the longest-running morning children's program in network TV history.

I get it F-35 pilots…

Sometimes I lose my car in the mall parking lot during the holidays.

@AmishSuperModel And you don't even have a stealth car - I assume.

Here's a great piece (gifted) about the importance of the disbarment hearing of #JohnEastman to the #Georgia racketeering case: https://wapo.st/3sqXBoZ

@profcarroll Great point. My son's first roommate in the diem at KU was just such a person. His family was so rich that he ordered Chinese food every day to have delivered.

BTW, the roommate made messes around the toilet and evidently thought my son was the maid.

Mathematician Katherine Johnson was born #OTD in 1918.

Her orbital mechanics computations played a vital role in many early NASA missions. Astronaut John Glenn trusted her calculations more than those of his onboard flight computer.

The moral of the story is that if you're going to do a coup against Putin you should just go ahead and go all the way, not half-ass it like Prigozhin did

@Lundemo On the other hand, Stereotomy is a great album. Though not TAPP's best IMO.

Saw blades on buoys, water stolen during record heat waves, a toddler killed on a human trafficking bus

“Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink. I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me"

Happy Sunday to American conservative “Christians”

@flexghost Because the Sermon on the Mount is now considered woke nonsense and has been completely replaced with prosperity theology.

You journalists reporting on Hunter Biden need to get your shit straight and report that he was never a government employee but you know who was? The Kushners. Who engaged in colossal, megascale corruption! Do you suppose someone should have investigated that? #media #journalism

@MKSinSA That said, the cheap vodka I buy clearly is for the dogs.
