Here's a jaw-dropping story from @barryyeoman.com and @jocelynzuck.bsky.social on how dollar-stores are quietly overcharging customers who can ill-afford it. Not on just occasional items, either: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In Ghana, the word for illegal gold mining is galamsey. And its spread there has matched the global runup in gold prices in recent years. “The result of this bonanza has been a fast-moving disaster, one that’s fueled multiple converging crises,” says reporter Jocelyn Zuckerman.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
