Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1

Hi, all. I write jokes for TV, but not long ago I was a financial analyst. I had my Series 7.
For those who say Fran Drescher or any SAG-AFTRA member should stop whining and appreciate what they have, let me give you a lesson in capitalism. 🧵

I teach a class here at @WheatonCollege on the history of Christianity, focused on the first thousand years. One thought haunts me. We are right to look with shock and disappointment at the way medieval Christians accepted violence as a norm. 1/

You know why we intubated people for Covid in March 2020?
Because otherwise they were going to die. Full. Stop.
I remember a patient rolling in with an oxygen saturation of 42%, breathing twice as fast as normal,struggling on a face mask with oxygen all the way up.
What to do?

it's not just WHO you play
the NFL doesn't control that
it's WHEN you play them

unfortunately, I found the 2023 schedule is less fair & equitable at a historic level in many areas

Our next question was “Who has the most 3 of 19 games in NBA history? (actually since 1956, when FGA became a stat)” And again the answer is Westbrook with four. Fun fact: the first time Russ did so was November 12, 2008, just his 8th career game and his 20th birthday 🎂

Athletes have the most complicated taxes.
NFL, NBA, and MLB players file 10 to 25 tax returns each year, and some athletes pay more than $1 million to states they don't even live in.
This is because of the Jock Tax.
And it all started with Michael Jordan.
Here's the story 👇

A lot is reported about how Hitler wouldn’t shake Jesse Owens hand after the Olympics but Owens also wasn’t invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either. I think that an excellent microcosm of how history is taught in America. – at Texas, USA
