Edna (or Ethel) Mitzel and Margaret Pigeon were a couple of 18 year-olds who just wanted to “see life”, but ended up in jail in Chicago in Feb. 1924 because they were found “wandering vaguely” downtown after midnight, one of them sporting a black eye.

It happened again.
I mentioned George Soros and his career in FX markets, and someone called me an anti-Semite.
Wait. Contrary to what my name implies, I’m actually Jewish. I studied at a yeshiva in Brooklyn too.
Also George Soros is an actual person who really did FX trading. I swear to God, people treat him less as a human being and more of an idea—and that, in itself, is kind of anti-Semitic.

And remind me again, what verbiage, collaborating or condemning, has this #pope used when addressing the deeds of the russian and chinese despots before trump 0.2 now?
Really curious, is the papa only upset when South Americans (largely catholics) are on the firing line? 🤔
Hypocrisy would really be the world first for the #vatican!
Sonnet 090 - XC
Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now;
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,
Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an after-loss:
Ah! do not, when my heart hath 'scaped this sorrow,
Come in the rearward of a conquered woe;
Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,
To linger out a purposed overthrow.
If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,
When other petty griefs have done their spite,
But in the onset come: so shall I taste
At first the very worst of fortune's might;
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,
Compared with loss of thee, will not seem so.

Susaye Greene of The Supremes just talked to me, and I am completely stunned by this interaction!
I am totally swooning right now!
The Supremes are my favourite girl group ever!

Who's watching who?

Great question: if Mastodon and Pixelfed accounts can just follow each other, how is a Pixelfed account different from a Mastodon account?
The difference is in media. If you follow Mastodon accounts from Pixelfed, you will not see text-only posts on Pixelfed. And if you follow Pixelfed accounts on Mastodon, you will typically see text before you see photos.
So really, the difference is primarily about design and how you wish to interact with the Fediverse.

I need some help. What do these menu items refer to?
Latest activity
Latest posts
Latest Creation
Personal
Starred
Am I right that if I select, for example, my "Friends" circle, Latest Activity will show me the latest comments, posts, shares, and likes of people in my Friends circle? Latest Posts would show me only their posts?
But what do the Latest Creation and Personal items do? And how does one "star" a post or comment?
Sonnet 062 - LXII
Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye
And all my soul, and all my every part;
And for this sin there is no remedy,
It is so grounded inward in my heart.
Methinks no face so gracious is as mine,
No shape so true, no truth of such account;
And for myself mine own worth do define,
As I all other in all worths surmount.
But when my glass shows me myself indeed
Beated and chopp'd with tanned antiquity,
Mine own self-love quite contrary I read;
Self so self-loving were iniquity.
'Tis thee, myself, that for myself I praise,
Painting my age with beauty of thy days.

Some time back, we commissioned an artist to paint a mural on an outside wall at our house. I posted photos of that as it happened here on Mastodon.
I've finally blogged about that project, with some good photos and details. That's right here if you're interested:

You are right.
The other major omission from news articles is that Congress passed this law. The President is supposed to enforce the law, not evade it. Congress is free to repeal or amend the law, but the President is not free to ignore a statute.

When STRØK came to Aberdeen for Nuart in 2019, he left behind this brilliant mural, along with a few smaller pieces scattered around the city.
It’s one’s one of my favourites.

They went to the Midway Gardens (which was built by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1913 for symphonies and operas, but by the '20s was used as a cabaret featuring jazz acts like Bix Beiderbecke and Benny Goodman), leaving with two men named “Bill” and “Murph”.

What happened next was a “wild series of taxi cab jaunts” to south side cafes, but the girls weren’t inclined to share any more details with the cops, who were holding them till their story could be “verified”.
No follow up articles appeared afterwards, so they in all likelihood they were let go without being charged, leaving behind only their archive pic and a page 16 clipping in the Daily News.

...actually, seems to have been in use a lot in the 19th century per Google ngram ... and might be making a comeback
(although I'm guessing the recent increase could be because the database of digitized texts is much larger in the last 20 years - not sure how that works though).
