@mattyglesias That blows my mind. That any adult can't sit down and read and comprehend a NY times article on an intellectual basis. Not surprised if they don't do it for their own sanity, but to not be capable, that's hard to believe it's half of adults.

If you have the basic skills to participate in the discourse at all — like you can read and comprehend a New York Times article in order to complain about it — you’re in a weird, out of touch, elite bubble.

🚨 5,000 years ago on a remote Scottish island, people were living in stone houses with built in furniture, drainage systems, and covered passageways...
most locals didn't have indoor plumbing again until the 20th century.
🔹Drainage system linked every house
🔹Buried under sand until an 1850 storm
🔹10 houses connected by stone passages
🔹Stone beds, shelves, and hearths in each
A Neolithic village on Orkney with a level of domestic design that wouldn't be matched in the same region for thousands of years.
Stone furniture. Insulated walls. A linked drainage network.
If this is what survived on a tiny island in the North Atlantic, what was built in places we haven't found yet?

@megbasham When I was a teen, the volunteer ambulance company would do this once a month as a fundraiser. They'd move the trucks out and we had a dance floor. It was ~$5 to get in and teens from several nearby towns would come. It was safe, we had fun, and the ambulance co got some funds.

Homeschool groups here in Charlotte have something called Social Dance once a month. I actually don’t even know who puts it on, but it’s at this cool old barn and my daughter’s been a few times. The boys totally ask girls to dance at these events.
It’s a great opportunity to teach them how to ask and decline graciously. Older daughter loves it. She and her friends always have a blast. Several older friends of hers began dating boys they met at there.
We need to do more things like this.

@megbasham Social dances provide training wheels for this. Walk up and ask her! She can politely accept or decline. Repeat with each dance (etiquette says only 2 dances with same partner unless in a relationship.)

In case you missed what was passed by the House yesterday...
A bill automatically deporting illegal immigrants.
AKA anyone that should not be here. Anyone.
This involves:
- Social Security fraud
- Mail Fraud
- SNAP fraud
- ID Fraud
- Conspiracy to defraud the United States
- Bribery or theft involving federal funds
- Schemes targeting taxpayer resources.
Do you realize what is about to be unleashed?

@RandyGoat At 8, I used to deliver my brother's paper route on days when he had Little League games. He paid me $3 and several of the customers along the route would give me pocket change or candy. Didn't hurt that I looked to be about 5, so they all thought I was so cute.

Until the 12th century, most people read aloud
Not by convention, but necessity
The Romans wrote in scriptura continua: no spaces between words
To find where one word ended, you had to sound the letters out
Reading and speaking were the same act...
Then Irish monks started copying Latin manuscripts
It was a foreign language, and they needed spaces to decode the grammar without losing their minds
The Benedictine scriptorium had a Rule of Silence
If you sounded out every word, you broke it...
That workaround created something no one planned: a private self
A thought you could have without anyone in the room knowing:
Conscience, secrets, heresy, desire all of it was suddenly yours alone
Modern privacy was born the day a monk put a space between two words
