Grocery stores be like…here’s an uncooked whole chicken. It’s $10.99. We also have whole rotisserie cooked chickens for $7.99. Oh, are they like way smaller or taste really bad or something? No, they’re fall off the bone good. Absolutely perfectly done.

Feels like season 10 of Trump is really dragging, maybe they should introduce a cute “long lost nephew” or a wacky neighbor

discovered an obscure psychedelic country-folk rock band from 1970s california. there’s barely any information about them online. they only released a single album in 1971 and became forgotten, but it’s truly a hidden gem. the vocals are hauntingly beautiful.

Traces of Texas
Traces of Texas@TracesofTexas·
Traces of Texas reader R Burk Morris thoughtfully submitted this photo of his grandfather, Charles Sylvester "Ves" Morris (1883-1964), in his store in Archer City, Texas. R Burk didn't say when this was taken but Sylvester looks to be in his late 20s so probably about 1910 or so. Sylvester's father, James Alfred "Jim" Morris (1863-1937), had opened the general and feed store after he moved to Archer City from the Indian Territory. Notice the Shinola white and black shoe polish on the counter. There's a joke in here about knowing something from Shinola, but this is a PG page so I'm not going to make it. 🙂 Thank you, R Burk. Cool family artifact!

Migrants not only retain their preferences, they reshape the policies and institutions of the places they migrate to. E.g. Southern whites who migrated after the Civil War spread Confederate culture. Big lesson here for all immigrant places.

The Review of Economic Studies@RevEconStudies

The Confederate diaspora—small but powerful and ideologically intense—reshaped culture across the U.S. through influence, organizational mobilization, and political leverage. New paper by @SamuelBazzi, @Andreas_Ferrara, Fiszbein, @tpearson_tweets, and Testa: restud.com/the-confederat…
