1. Crystal Anderson's Soul in Seoul does a great history into this topic if you want to learn more. 2. I want K-Pop artist to make country music so good that the CMAs couldn't deny them awards like they've done with Beyonce, Shaboozey, and others.

so the forecast from tsunami.gov for midway island was 1 to 3 meters. The max water levels thus far have been ~2.5 meters. That is within the forecast. Also god damn I'm going to miss NOAA data like this.

water levels reltime data for the last ~24 hours at midway island. with predictions versus actual.  the tsunami data shows erratic osccilations from the normal cycles with max height ~2.5 meters

Dear Abundance people, "particularly a strain of liberalism that began to develop in the ’60s and ’70s—that bears much of the blame." Let me explain why Ezra uses Lawn-Sign Liberalism and Everything-Bagel Liberalism: it could jeopardize his career for coming too close to racism.

None the less it has helped draft up something quick to build a tool I might use in the future for @slavecodes.org !
a webpage titled PDF OCR Viewer
subtitle "1848 Slave Code of District of Columbia"

a Previous Button, "Page 13 of 61", a next button.

on the left is the 13th pdf page of the slave code.  on the right is the transcribed text from the OLM OCR AI Model.

An excerpt of the text on this page reads:

of the district of Columbia. 13
servant or slave to the highest bidder, and out of the money or tobacco which such servant or slave is sold for, to pay himself his commission; and in case the purchase money was never paid, no imprisonment fees as are just due for the time he has kept such servant or slave in his custody, nor also to pay any such other reward as have become due to any person for taking up runaway servant or slave, and after such payments, if any of the money or tobacco such servant or slave was sold for, such sheriff shall only be accountable to the master or owner of such servant or slave for such residue or remainder; and, in case any sheriff or the buyer of such servant or slave, or others concerned in the execution of this act, shall be sued by any persons for any matter or thing done or to be done in pursuance hereof, it shall be lawful for every such person so sued to plead the general issue and give this Act and the special matter in evidence, and in case of non-suit, discontinuance or verdict against the plaintiff, the court shall award double costs of suit. Laws of Maryland, 1729; Ch. 5, Sect. 3.

CHAPTER XVI.
SLAVES CAUGHT AWAY FROM THEIR HOMES—HOW PUNISHED.

Every constable shall be obliged to repair once a month to all suspected places within his hundred, and if at any such place he shall find any negroes or other slaves, besides the negroes or other slaves belonging to the owner of such place, not having a license under their owner or overseer's hand, it shall be lawful for the constable and he is required to whip every such negro on the bare back, at his discretion, not exceeding thirty-nine lashes; and all negroes and other slaves belonging...
