In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville.
More than a century and a half later, Sheppardโs great-great-granddaughter has been elected governor of Georgia.

Just talked to an Ohio voter who said she didnโt care about the Vivek ad. Voting for this loser, creep, chud anyway, because she didnโt like Actonโs Covid response. Iโve also heard from lots of Paxton voters who are happy to hold their nose to keep the state red. Donโt count on anti-Trump turnout. GO VOTE.

Amy Acton's estranged mother lost custody of her children after her second husband was charged with rape and indicted by a grand jury. In court, Amy's mother stood by her husband instead of her twelve-year-old daughter. They haven't spoken since that day in court, nearly 50 years ago.
Politics has become such a disappointing sport of outrage-fueled mud-slinging, personal attacks targeting families, and blatant lies designed to divide. Candidates should debate the issues and focus on convincing voters that their plans and leadership will make life better. That's what politics should be about: bringing people together. Stunts like today's attack ad against Dr. Acton are beneath anyone seeking to lead. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/poโฆ

Seems kind of obvious that the best possible form of urban living is small streets and 4-5 story dwellings , with lots of street calming and vegetation.
Perfect density but still calm . Incredible walkability but also safe for kids. Mixed use zoning obviously
Somehow we fell in love with towers and bungalows and parking and pedestrianization , huge parks and wide boulevards and the extremes

Thereโs no plan to end the war. No plan for healthcare. No plan to lower prices. No plan at all. Just grifting, revenge, AI-slop social media posts, golf outings, and blaming Joe Biden for everything.

Ted Turner, founder of CNN, died today at 87. nytimes.com/2026/05/06/businโฆ Most obituaries will focus on his enormous impact on the media world, but I'd also note that he revolutionized philanthropy. Before him, rich people gave to museums, universities, churches. They spent more money buying paintings of women than actually helping women or girls. And then in 1997, Ted changed that almost by accident in a speech. "I was on my way to New York to make the speech,โ Ted recalled to me later. โI just thought, what am I going to say?โ So, to make the speech interesting, he announced he was going to give $1 billion to the UN to fight global poverty. (Here's the piece where he described how he made that gift: nytimes.com/2012/12/27/opiniโฆ ) That started a competition among tycoons to be more philanthropic and led many more to try to help the needy. He made giving cool, and he saved countless lives. RIP, Ted Turner, and thanks for all you did.

A man blinded by a flag about to step off into emptiness might be Banksy's best work ever.

Shifting Baseline Syndrom. Eins der groรen Probleme in der Wahrnehmung des Artensterbens. Kurz gesagt: Das was wir als Heranwachsender kennen, wird als der Normalzustand empfunden. Damit verschiebt sich aber die Baseline von Generation zu Generation, und viel Information geht verlorenโฆ der tatsรคchliche Verlust an Vielfalt ist viel dramatischer als wir ihn wahrnehmen.

This is a continuing story of a great nation fallen mesmerized into the hands of a charlatan. We hope there are growing signs of revulsion by the American people. Bizarre. Madness. Who are these people standing with this man.
At 250 feet tall, Trump's arch would be the biggest such structure in the world. Asked last fall what this modern-day arch was meant to commemorate, Trump pointed to himself and replied, โMe.โ @sbg1 newyorker.com/news/letter-frโฆ

In all sincerity, the @SRPconnect election has become an incredibly valuable teachable moment about Arizona politics, power and your right to vote. All tied into the resources we depend on to survive.

๐จ MAJOR NEWS: Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust.
Called it a war crime. Said it is โnot solving anything.โ
And told Americans directly โ call Congress.
End this war.
