@DeniseKShull That’s about right. I usually read the first, second and then the second to last and last paragraph. That is the most though. Usually 2-3 paragraphs, next

Why do people write 1000 word essays here? Maybe I’m just too impatient but to me, they are unreadable. I start, find the first few paragraphs interesting and then just can’t keep scrolling and go onto the next.

@Wisconsin_fam Common denominator

Does this guy ever stop being an asshat? Holy crap.

@DeepPhilo_HQ @jurijt What the “right thing” is these days has become very subjective.

@Barchart Classic terrible customer service. It should never be up to the customer to solve the problem. Bad CEO..out of touch.

@RyanHoliday Ugh so much for real stoicism here

Lol. Rolling your eyes at the performative philosophy of a member of the most corrupt family in American history is apparently 'fuming'? Although if there was anything to be mad about these days, I think objecting to people lighting the world on fire so they can make a killing in prediction markets and kickbacks is probably it. yahoo.com/entertainment/…

@amyjacobson Ugh so sad

 Abraham “Bullet Hole” Ellis   Abraham “Bullet Hole” Ellis was an abolitionist who had been associated with John Brown earlier. He lived in Miami County, Kansas and was caught up in the violent border conflicts between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions. When the Civil war broke out, he enlisted in Lane’s Brigade and served as quartermaster. On March 7, 1862, while on his way from Fort Scott to Fort Leavenworth, he stopped over night at Aubrey with a man named Treacle. Aubrey was three miles from the Missouri line and two miles north of the south line of Johnson County. At daybreak the landlord aroused all in the house with by yelling, “The bushwhackers are coming!” Treacle and another man named Whitaker were shot to pieces, and a man named Tuttle was killed by a ball in the eye. At the commencement of the trouble Ellis sprang out of bed, placed a fur cap on his head and looked out of the window. Confederate guerilla leader William C. Quantrill took a shot at him, and the ball passed through the sash and the cap into the skull. The leader of the raiders then came into the house and, recognizing Ellis, expressed great sorrow for what he had done, saying: “You are not the kind of man I was looking for; I’m damned sorry.” He saved the life of Ellis from his followers.   Quantrill’s ball had crashed through both plates of the forehead and lodged against the inner lining, where it lay buried for seventy hours. When the shattered bones and the bullet were extracted, the brain could be seen throbbing with each pulsation of the heart. The wound was extraordinary, described in historical accounts as one of the most remarkable survivable head injuries recorded at the time. About three days later, a U.S. Army surgeon extracted the bullet along with 27 fragments of his skull bone. He reportedly carried the bullet and some skull pieces for a time and even donated fragments to the Army and Navy Medical Museum in Washington D.C. Mr. Ellis recovered in five months, the wound healed, and in September, 1863, he was commissioned first lieutenant in a Fifteenth Kansas company, and served as such until February, 1865. He moved from Miami to Chautauqua County, in 1870 and died in Elk Falls, Kansas in 1885.

@LindaRaschke I never heard that, hilarious!

INTU lost half its value in 5 months. as three pushes down and small exhaustion gap. However, there is an old expression, "man who picks bottom ends up with stinky finger..."

Rescuing the Donner Party On February 19, 1847, the first relief party consisting of seven men who battled brutal conditions to cross the mountain, reached the main camp of the Donner Party at Truckee Lake (now Donner Lake) in the Sierra Nevada mountains, marking the beginning of the rescue efforts for the stranded pioneers. When the rescuers approached the lake camp, they shouted and were met by a haggard survivor (often described as Mrs. Murphy) who emerged from a snow hole and asked something like, “Are you men from California, or do you come from heaven?” The rescuers found a horrific scene: emaciated survivors (many children) widespread starvation and evidence of extreme measures to stay alive. They took out 23 survivors (including 17 children) on the grueling return trip westward over the mountains. Several more died en route due to starvation and cold.  On December 16,1848, more than a month after they became snowbound, 15 of the strongest members of the Donner Party strapped on makeshift snowshoes and tried to walk out of the mountains to find help. After wandering the frozen landscape for several days, they were left starving and on the verge of collapse. The hikers resigned themselves to cannibalism and considered drawing lots for a human sacrifice or even having two of the men square off in a duel. Several members of the party soon died naturally, however, so the survivors roasted and consumed their corpses. The rescue process took over two months. Four relief parties were sent in over a two and a half month time period. On the third relief effort, a man named John Stark took to carrying two children at a time for a few yards, then setting them down in the snow and going back for others. He continued this process all the way down the mountain and eventually led all nine of his charges to safety. These children were too weak to walk and he refused to leave any behind. The last to be rescued was Lewis Keseberg who was found in April, 1847, supposedly half-mad and surrounded by the cannibalized bodies of his former companions.  Of the 81 pioneers who began the journey, only 45 managed to walk out.
