Oh Mary Wollstonecraft, the revolutionary you are!!! The things you understand!!!!
1796 ladies and gentleman. A SHORT RESIDENCE IN SWEDEN
That time Mary Wollstonecraft predicted literally everything. 1796.

They should invent a Daylight so strong that it doesn't need to be saved every year
@CNN Pizza shop workers took down an armed robber -- but when police took off his mask, they discovered he was their old boss.
and he would have got away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
This is mind-boggling stupid. Entry 58 promotes “DEI” because it is about the history of slavery.
I wonder why the Einstein papers (64) promote DEI but the Edison papers (63) don’t. Only hypotheses I have: Einstein was Jewish; Einstein is still suspected on the right of being a communist….
