I got the updated Covid vaccine on Friday and it is no joke. I’m on my SECOND day of nasty side effects. Usually it’s just the one!! As usual the cats are happy with the whole situation, but I feel like I’ve been pummeled with a bag of door knobs.

Extra special since Gene Chizik's defense helped lead Texas to a 13-0 record in 2005 that included beating Ohio and winning a National Championship (with 2 clutch 4th and short stops).

If only there were a law that said: "Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned" We could call it 18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting

I will never get over how we got from the Rhodes decision in 1866 to whatever this is.

"they don't look like Indians to me" is the literal holding in US v. Thind (1923).

and to be clear, "by any means" meant rape and forced coupling.

The one drop rule was a post-emancipation invention. The key during slavery was partus sequitur ventrem, which effectively incentivized "natural increase" by any means. (not trying to be a pill; just a thing I teach!)

Yes and remembering that the economic growth was static and therefore always precarious in ways that weren't fully realized until after the Civil War.

As a professor of American history in the long 19th century, I desperately want to know the thinking behind Grover Cleveland and James K. Polk as "near great." Just... how?

As a historian, I can't emphasize enough how essential this is. There has to be a record. Document everything. Create the evidence. Time will prove how valuable it is.

Telemundo is so much better. I don't understand most of what I hear, but the energy, commitment to the sport, and the comprehensive replays are outstanding. Plus, I have a whole new sports vocabulary!! Medio Tiempo forever!

Sometimes, as a historian of the Reconstruction era, I read an article in the Atlantic from 1876 and shudder at how very little has changed.

When we were in Europe last summer and were asked where we were from, we always said California. Someone noted that they were hearing that a lot more than just US than in years past and appreciated knowing we were "safe." It had become international code!
