With a few very rare exceptions the only coin minted from around the 760's to 1279 was the silver penny. Fractions would be achieved by cutting the coin, in half for a halfpenny, and quarters for a farthing (aka fourthing) From 1279 under Edward I round fractions were produced.

Alt text: a long runner carpet-like quilt composed of individual squares pieced and quilted, probably about 8 feet wide, and long enough to run across a stone patio, up a flight of stairs, and probably all the way to front door of the ornate government building rising in the background.

Applebaum’s work here is excellent. I have no gift privileges, but find it where you can. The headline and intro blurb say nothing.

I took the Regents exams in 1967 and understood them as a sort of end goal shared by all NYS students. This is interesting.

I don’t remember whose insight this is, but it blew my mind when I first read that to understand American history you have to get that race law was designed to increase the number of enslavable people (one-drop rule) and decrease the number of claimants to indigenous land (blood quantum)

Jamelle Bouie writes: yeah this is a separate conversation but one of the things that hasn’t quite bubbled up from scholarship into mainstream thinking is that american slavery was a system centered principally on reproduction. forced birth for capital accumulation is what it was

“Fascism always fails!!” Is less comforting than I’d like it to be given that it also usually kills several million people first.

Matsuo Bashō’s “The Narrow Road of Oku” is a work of poetic and philosophical power undimmed by the more than three centuries since its composition.

measles was declared eliminated here in 2000. it's now the worst measles year since 1991, and 70% of counties don't have enough vaccinated kindergartners to stop an outbreak. we might be the first people to take a solved problem and un-solve it on purpose, then call it freedom.

Farewell today to the high priestess of polka dots, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (1929-2026). Her work was unforgettable and for her, a means to survival. It’s playful, psychedelic, compulsive, beautiful and slightly unsettling all at once. Into infinity and beyond Yayoi! 🔴🟡⚫️

these people booing sound like literal sheep as Darline Graham criticizes Dr. Annie Andrews for supporting "government-run healthcare" before bragging of her parents that "if they were sick, they had to get up and go to work...my mother passed away when I was 11 and my father just over a year later"

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

Waking thoughts : children, the dog bounding up for her morning back scratch, and some real anger to be calmed with focus on human community. Also this, a fake news quote tying the ridiculous seashell scandal to a not at all fake history lesson :

So much for the tolerant left — printed upside down, as a fake quote from Benito Mussolini, 28 April 1945.

From a piece on the disappearance of languages, by Nikhil Krishnan, in The New Yorker: Politics, then, is the always unsatisfying project of managing loss; at best, it consists of doing this without self-deception.”
