Just a few more days and my subscriptions with Hulu, HBO, Disney, Amazon, and Paramount will all be behind me.

The promise of cheap and affordable movie/series streaming was a lie from the start. They were just hoping to trap us like they did with cable.

When it was affordable, people stopped pirating. We were willing to pay a fair price. Now, pirating is more popular than it ever has been.

Pirating is a legitimate response to greed. My respect to those who can.

Great longread on the fate of children. Brace yourselves...

Quote: It’s a slow-moving spiral: first their health, then their grades, then their future. And as the country throttles past the pandemic’s fifth anniversary, those for whom Covid looms very present are feeling increasingly forgotten, subject to pervasive skepticism and a kind of cultural fatigue when it comes to their illness

Too good to go pakket opgehaald. Matige vandaag.
Met pond runder soepvlees, zakje voorgesneden rode ui en 2 zakjes preiringetjes, gerookte kipfilet voor brood en babypap😳

Lang leve de voorraadkast want van dat soepvlees en ui kan ik curry mussoman maken.

De prei in de diepvries gemikt, vind prei niet lekker, maar wie weet kan ik het in kleine delen ergens in verwerken.

Gooi je prei-tips voor prei-liever-niet-eters maar...

My wife told me today as she left for work that if she died at this point in her life it would be okay because she has had the fortune to live a life free of war, famine and control, allowing her to live a happy and largely care-free life.

After she left, I started wondering how many of us from the richer countries are starting to realise how good it has been.

It has been good. So good. I don't want war, suffering and disease. It's not acceptable!

I want the life I've had for everyone!

The government does not track how often immigration agents hold Americans. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

Does anyone know of good digital collections for historical research re: textiles in early America (say, 1700s to early 1800s)?

I have a student doing a project based on needlework from this period. She has found a few print volumes with good images of needlework from the time, but I am wondering if there is a digital archive or collection out there that might be of use.
