Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

Drake: well he humiliated me with music fans, at the Grammys, at the Super Bowl, but surely that’s it. He has reached the limit of getting people to sing along to that song, he cannot go any further, it’s-it’s impossible! It’s over! Kendrick Lamar, eyes sparking with lightning:

COSTA NAVARINO, Greece - After deadly fires devastated much of Los Angeles, organizers of the
2028 Games told the International Olympic Committee on Thursday how the city will rebuild with their help.
Count on Kendrick Lamar, too, to be part of "the greatest show on earth" in three years.

This is my entire life

programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types
with one sentence per page, like "GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale
Woodchips playgrounds. GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can
get right to the chipping. See why Microsoft, OpenAl and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips
workflows." and you get to the bottom and you're like I
want this I guess but I still don't know what

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

The image is a black-and-white political cartoon depicting a man in a suit standing behind a counter labeled "Republican Platform." He is holding a bottle labeled "Untaxed Whiskey, 20¢ Gal." in one hand and a piece of cloth labeled "War-Taxed Common Cloth, Tariff 84%" in the other. Above the counter, a sign reads, "If you don’t see what you want, ask for it." The cartoon, signed by W.A. Rogers, appears to satirize the Republican Party's economic policies, highlighting the disparity in taxation between luxury items like whiskey and essential goods like cloth.

Bluesky feature highlight: Muted words and tags. If there are topics or words you don't want to invade your brain space, on Bluesky you can make your feeds friendly through smart moderation. It's good for your blood pressure and soul. Go to bsky.app/moderation and simply add "Muted words or tags".

You can add muted words or tags in Bluseky and have them gone forever or just for a short time. I recommend it for your sanity.
