Fascinated by the early modern period: I'm here if we you want to talk about John Milton, the 17th Century, Baroque Music and Art. The Reformation to The Enlightenment is my JAM.

History of Parliament @histparl.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The Campaign Legal Center, a nonprofit good government group, noticed something strange in the public filings for the Collins super PAC. The PAC  received a $150,000 donation from a newly created LLC with a typo in its name: the Society of Young Women Scientist and Engineers, with no S at the end of “Scientist.”

​If people within themselves would be governed by reason, and not generally give up their understanding to a double tyranny, of custom from without, and blind affections within; they would discern better what it is to favour and uphold the tyrant of a nation.

It's so good. It mellows as the lactic acid buffers the heat reaction, and the salt level is already nice and savory. It will, however, make your kitchen smell of sulfur and brimstone, so be prepared to blame the mustard...
