So here's a quote from @pablo.show that applies to not only his Clippers investigation but the best of what journalism can be: www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...
"I think that we have the ability to do something that the rest of our culture is yearning for, which is make people who are too rich to care about anything resembling the public interest worry that maybe they need to tell us the truth."

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

For this week's #WyrdWednesday, an #earlymodern pamphlet on the #solareclipse of 1652 hailing the "terrible effects" "Black Munday" would induce. There were many of such fearmongering pamphlets.
The cover of an early modern pamphlet with a woodcut depicting three black suns nest to each other. The one in the middle has a face and is surrounded by the orbit of the fixed stars. Directions are indicated, and on each corner around the suns, there is a symbol, starting in the top left corner, then clockwise, with a sword, a plant, some crossed bones, and a skull. 
The title of the pamphlet is:
"Black Munday: or, A full and exact description of that great and terrible eclipse of the sun which will happen on the 29. day of March 1652 beginning 48. minutes after 8. a clock in the forenoon, and ending 17. minutes after 11. in which time the sun will be almost totally darkened (as at the passion of our Savior) and the stars appear in the firmament in the day time. Also as astrologicall conjecture of the terrible effects that will probably follow thereupon, according to the judgment of the best astrologers: it threatens the fall of some famous kings or princes, and men in authority malice, hatred, uncharitablenesse, cruell wars and bloodshed, house-burnings, great robberies, thefts, plundering and pillaging, rapes, depopulation, violent and unexpected deaths, famine, plague, &c"

If you’re outside, the best breathing protection is to wear an N95 or N100 mask. These masks filter out most fine particles in smoke, but not hazardous gases like carbon monoxide. Avoid strenuous outdoor activity. #wawildfire #wawx
