A sepia-toned vintage photograph of a performer standing confidently in a nightclub or bar setting, wearing a tailored suit, tie, and top hat, and holding a cane. The person poses mid-step with a self-assured expression, with a bar and shelves of bottles visible in the background. Overlaid at the top is the text “Stuff You Missed in History Class,” and a blue circular badge in the lower right reads “Gladys Bentley.” A small illustrated portrait logo appears in the top right corner.

Gladys Bentley was a part of the Harlem Renaissance as a performer – she played piano and sang in ways that drew huge crowds starting in the 1920s, and she was completely out as a lesbian. But her story takes some surprising turns.

@mets.com on Opening Day 🔒

Incredibly disappointed to not be able to watch @mets.com Opening Day but happy to listen to Howie’s final Day 1 broadcast on @audacyinc.bsky.social!

@mlb.com stop making it so hard to watch baseball!

Bluesky really hitting on all cylinders right now because you can tell exactly what’s going on in both the Oscars and the World Baseball Classic

Happy #BadBunny day to all who celebrate, and especially to those who don’t

Stand With Minnesota Donation Directory Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

If folks don't know what to do with their rage today, and they have cash, I suggest going to standwithminnesota.com and finding someone who needs help

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand

I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

Or 1B

I guess it’ll be a different 32-year-old 2B/utility guy at 1B? I have no idea what the hell is going on over there at this point

You mean like this?

If the Mets start the season with Jeff McNeil at 1B I am going to lose my goddamn mind

If Uncle Steve’s end game was the casino, this offseason makes a lot of sense.

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23: Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

Central Park Conservancy backs NYC horse carriage ban, citing safety and damage The park’s stewards say carriages are a public safety risk and harm infrastructure, and are urging the City Council to pass Ryder’s Law.

Once again I renew my brilliant-but-ignored campaign for ROBOT HORSES in Central Park. We have the technology!

It wasn't widely reported (h/t @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social as per) but the MLB Commissioner was asked about killing MLB's Diversity Pipeline programs and he more or less said he did it to avoid making Trump mad and that he feels it was the right call.

Abject cowardice on at least two levels.

Superman was pretty great. Rachel Brosnahan is perfect as Lois Lane.

We could have had universal healthcare, free college, and housing for all, but instead, they're using MY tax dollars on a fucking concentration camp.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
