This was the hanging of Marie and Frederick Manning, a married couple who murdered Marie's lover. Dickens later based the character of Hortense in Bleak House on Marie and, unbeknownst to him, witnessed this hanging in the company of a young American writer named Herman Melville.

Not angry. Prob not surprised. A bit disappointed. Not gonna take my DF T-shirt out back and shoot it with an AR or anything, but my future DF reading will be diminished by this extremely lukewarm and wrong-headed take.

No matter what you are going through, try to be kind to people, because you never know what their burdens are. Instead of saying "go fuck yourself" try "how can I help you to go fuck yourself?" Be kind. 🙏

If we do not immediately eliminate the death penalty in the United States we are not only a barbaric nation but a willfully vicious and bloodthirsty one with a "pro-life" court whose hypocrisy puts Robespierre to shame.

MJ and Waxakatie didn’t cover it in the show I saw on their tour, so I got real close to hearing it, but no cigar. I’m gonna keep it that way, to be personally repellent/obnoxious, just like I’ve got a 30+ year streak of never seeing Top Gun

Honestly, I’m super aware of that song but I’ve never heard it because algorithms. And I listen to a lot of country music, but it’s “Americana, or as some people call it, ‘unsuccessful country music.’” , to quote the late great Todd Snider.
