Exxon just reported record profits for the first quarter of this year, raking in $11.43 billion. The oil giant now has $33 billion cash on hand.

Say it with me, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers demanding better wages and benefits.

I have NO patience for people who claim that historians should be producing traditional scholarship and not addressing the public.

Historians should be engaging with EVERY public.

Talking about democracy.

Teaching about democracy.

Highlighting the gaslighting & correcting the whitewashing.

If ever there was a time for historians to step up & engage with the public for the sake of American democracy, it's NOW.

I read an article on "woke" stock investing this AM. "Woke" now means everything & nothing, as used by some.

Tomorrow: a historical look at buzzwords & why they work so well.

Tracking the opening date of the Rideau Canal Skateway, it's clear that as climate warms in Ottawa, the skating season starts later. This season will be the latest ever, beating the Feb 2 opening in 2002.
@Drew I get it, it's just that even when importing a list of my follows it's only a fraction that have partially migrated here. Curating a list over the years only to have some dickwad break the service is frustrating.
I just want people to use this so I can just uninstall twitter.
@rbreich Curious what the pandemic will look like going forward as they restrict supply on vaccine availability through price. A lot of healtchare systems are struggling as it is.

@jbf1755 I guess it bodes well that they're this dysfunctional. Going to be really hard to herd the cats to do anything actually harmful.
