How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

McCord has blown. Mitchell has blown. No tap on my telephone.

I think I was 32 when I saw that and still not sure I should have.

And just, specifically for journalism:
What do we want? 1 article, for $1, after 1-2 clicks.
What do we get? "This article is only for subscribers. Can we send notifications to your screen, about articles you won't be able to read?"

No, just to give a sense of what that court was like - the kind of kill-or-be-killed, people walking around with their armed retinues, sons plotting against mothers, brothers against brothers...

You're welcome!
Also, if you haven't already, you should see what's out there about the 1617 assassination of Concini.

When I was rehabbing from hip surgery at the CUHK hospital, there were some people there working with exoskeletons. I don't know any of the details but it looked some pretty incredible work going on.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons is leaving the Department of Homeland Security DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced the move Thursday evening and wished Lyons well.

Me: It’s a good pun. 10/10 Cicero would support this.

Husband: *exasperated sigh*

I also like Brian Sandberg. Warrior pursuits, but I don't think that's going to get you in to Louis XIII's court.

So the ~150 page version/English translation of The Political Testament of Cardinal Richelieu is actually both very good and a quick read.

Most of the 2ndary stuff I can think of is about Louis XIV.

I haven't read Ranum's The Fronde, but I suspect it has some valuable material.

Seeing as Pius XII did f*** all to help the Jews during the Holocaust, I don't mind him being lectured about the church's political inaction.

Technical difficulties in the hot dog department

Ever been out at like a restaurant or a park or someplace & there's that 1 kid running around causing all sorts of problems for everyone & the kid's parents are right there but won't do anything to control the kid, they just want everyone else to fix whatever problems their kid causes?

This is a victory for the LGBTQ+ community and for our entire city. It’s a reminder that New Yorkers won’t let our history be rewritten.

Our administration will keep working to ensure LGBTQ+ New Yorkers can live safely and with dignity in our city.

Probably shouldn't admit this out loud, but the idea of singing a Dickinson poem to a tune other than the Gilligan's Island theme song bothers me.

Massive street party in Budapest right now: huge crowds dancing, hugging, crying, and opening bottles. (Reuters)

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

I'm just hoping that this began as a troll by non-believers at least somewhat familiar with Depeche Mode.
