Wednesday morning open thread

  It's supposed to warm, but windy and rainy, and I will have to go out to do some shopping today. Sigh.

Indigenous Peoples' Day and Treat Yo Self Day on Parlez Vous Monday

 


Want to first draw attention to two Dr. Stacey pieces  – one for Indigenous Peoples’ Day she wrote yesterday


TomorrowAmerica Will Bow to a Thief and Mass Murderer


and – because she’s incredibly prolific and this piece is not just about the regime doing what it promised in P2025 that it would do, but also an exercise in sharpening our critical thinking & media literacy skills by an extraordinary dissection on how NYT covered it up with the passive voice


The New York Times Can’t Admit That Rising Black Unemployment Is a Racial Purge Disguised As 'Economics'

 

We'll be doing more media literacy and as much American history as can be crammed in without peoples' eyes glazing over, but also now it's there for people to come back to as well to review at leisure


Also please share what you've done / purchased for self on Treat Yo Self Day (which I honestly did not know existed for real till k2b pointed  it out this morning)


If you've ordered something  from overseas to celebrate Treat Yo Self Day know that Duh Tariffs have created a backlog at customs so bad that UPS is destroying packages, so don't just file that tracking number - make sure you use it 

*goes to look for package*
