Look. I know I go on about this all the time, but MIDNIGHT DINER is legitimately one of the best TV shows I have ever seen. Ever. As in, in my entire life. It's on Netflix. It is beautful.

Ciudad Juárez, 1892. Juan holds up a burrito and says "behold luis, I call it: the burrito." Luis eats it and says "this is delicious Juan, but how on earth does this look like a little donkey?" Juan thinks and surmises "it looks like the ones I grew up with." Juan takes Luis to a field of small, bow-legged cylindrical donkeys who appear to me in great distress. Luis looks on in terror as one of the donkeys repeats "kill me. kill me."

This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10

I was a historian of the atomic bomb decision from 1989-95 and coauthored an 800+ page book on the politics behind the decision. I’ve seen a lot of documentaries, but this is new to me. There were 78 people who survived underneath the explosion. This is how some of them survived. One is still alive.

An abstract watercolour painting in shades of blue and orange on a mottled blue background. Four large blocks fill most of the page. The top right block is orange, the rest are shades of blue. On top of them are two pairs of parallel blue lines that cross in the top left quadrant of the painting. In the blocks, faint lists of numbers are visible.

Lyme was a weird disease you got in places where deer ticks were common. It tools decades to connect the two, and years more to isolate it to a bacteria in the tick. It’s been around a really goddam long time.
