"Taking makes me feel like I am dying.
But giving... giving makes me feel like I am living. Giving is living."

Morrie Schwartz, to writer Mitch Albom

Great quote, repeated in this week's episode of "A Good Circle"

@benjedwards Yes well Monday was originally Mono-day, mono meaning one. But the discovery of Mono the illness, followed by the sharp rise in people calling out sick every week on Monoday changed the spelling.

Naturally Two's-day became Tuesday because the former was harder to write.

Thirds day became Thursday when Wednesday was invented and inserted after Tuesday. Too many weddings took place on weekends, and so it's own day was made to give the weekend back to folks so they could maintain their lawns. But employers seized upon the idea of the new five day work week and here we are.

"I Love You,
was sarcastic?! This whole time it was my favorite episode because it was about how autonomous cars will finally allow the people to fully take back the streets! I thought it was a damn new urbanist anthem!

Incredible statement from the AP in response to Florida's lies about African American Studies (which was my minor in college and I do take this personally).

"We have made the mistake of treating FDOE with the courtesy we always accord to an education agency, but they have instead exploited this courtesy for their political agenda."

DeSantis’s corporate donors under fire for ‘hypocrisy’ over Black History Month

"Duke Energy gave $2m to the Republican party of Florida, which has embraced DeSantis’s crackdown on “woke” policies on race, gender and public health."

Do you think if Marie Antoinette were alive today, she would have said, "Let them eat pizza?"

Collard greens, yum.

I've just been introduced to Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History. By god, this man is an incredible storyteller.

@felix I usually don't take offense at quips like this, but you are so totally wrong. The conservation corps and works progress admin are just a few of the many programs that FDR and New Deal instituted which DIRECTLY saved millions of Americans by giving them a job and paycheck. one of those directly helped was my grandfather, who was employed in several of those New Deal programs in the mid to late 1930s. is bad news.

@Sheril It's really sad how history is "white washed." Muir is hailed as pioneer. He was far from being a good person. .

Another great talk by author ('Flags of Our Fathers', 'The Imperial Cruise') on his last book: 'The Illusion'.

Yankee historians criticize Bradley's work, but I find his depiction of U.S. in is illuminating.

I would nominate Bradley's to the .

Someone posted a Teddy Roosevelt (T.R.) quote yesterday.

I read James Bradley's compelling book "The Imperial Cruise" which includes a very negative portrayal of T.R.

'ing the topic, I found this summary talk of aforementioned book.

youtube.com/watch?v=D0AJ59vqzz

T.R. Hagiographers dispute Bradley's claims, so take them with a grain'o salt, but the analysis makes a lot of sense to an NAShow fan.

(Bradley is also author of "Flags of our Fathers")
