Bernadette Banner does historical (largely Victorian) sewing techniques and patterns but sometimes branches out into health and beauty recipes as well.

Abby Cox does historical fashion on a broader scale and sometimes has content about other historical trends or myths that she encounters in her research.

Townsends has really interesting content, but I find one of the hosts to be a bit rambly.

I like the way Legal Eagle has branched out and invited other attorneys to help keep tabs on … gestures broadly.

Yes! Both are interesting and well researched.

The article indicates that there’s a monthly fee for the “service.” So it’s not a passive income situation.

Don’t forget hate-watching the late-night shows.

You can tell when he learns a new word because he’s like a first-grader and wants to tell everyone the “new” thing he just found out about.

Groceries, affordability, magnets … The list of basic concepts he’s learning at 79 is kind of shocking.

Well, yes, but he’s supposed to look like a toad.

Let’s be real; C-suite positions are rarely filled by anyone who brings actual value to the company. They’re figureheads, but they’re also largely interchangeable.

And with so many CEOs, CTOs, etc., doing so much of their jobs with LLMs, that basically proves that you don’t need actual intelligence in those positions.

Playing hockey?

This appears to be almost a quote from Clarence Darrow which has been misattributed to multiple other historical figures over the years.

He likely took a diagnostic test for cognitive decline that has 30 questions. But he somehow thinks it was an IQ test. He claims he got all 30 right, which they told him is a perfect score. He probably thinks he’s a genius with “a very high IQ.”

It’s the Dunning–Kruger effect in action.

You’re right. I just wish politicians would just let us have nice things.

That’s a fair criticism. We know how poll testing has historically been used to disenfranchise minority groups.

That’s why I suggested the citizenship exam, which is a well-established test with specific parameters and existing preparation programs.

I think that voter registration should work like driver licensing. And the test you have to pass should be the citizenship exam.

In this administration, every accusation is an admission.

I did it for almost 10 years. Most of the work we did was fine, but some was utterly opposed to my personal values. I started making donations to my favorite charities (mostly Planned Parenthood and ACLU) every time I had a new work project that I felt was working against their goals.

When my husband and I were financially stable enough, I noped out of that job and found something that paid less but was affirming instead of soul-crushing.

Rigging elections is terrible.

But one party has quietly been working for decades to ensure that they can retain control of Congress with or without a majority of the votes in the country or even in a state.

And now it looks like that won’t be enough, so they’re actively trying to change election maps by any means possible before the midterms.

Democrats can’t sit on their hands and wait for this to happen. If they don’t fight back now, they might not get another opportunity.

Gerrymandering has been a problem for decades, and it’s only getting worse.

It’s possible that the only way to get fair election maps is to min/max the system to the extreme. And once everyone sees how horrible it is, maybe they’ll be willing to actually work together to fix the system.

If we wait for a perfect solution that causes no friction, we’ll be waiting forever. We can’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

As people age, they start to think about what comes next, and the idea of an afterlife is a lot more appealing than nothingness. I think a lot of non-religious older folks go all in on Pascal’s Wager when they are faced with their own mortality.
