How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I have 100+ of this type of single segment groups. After many years, I was able to trace some of them to a 9th Great-grandfather.

All eyes are on curling in this year’s Winter Olympics.

But did you know that all curling stones are sourced from only two places in the world? A mineralogist set out to find out why, and what happens when one of those sources can no longer be mined. spklr.io/6003DqxoD

I watched it live in 9th grade science class. I remember the confusion, then the realization that they were dead. Christa McAuliffe was dead. πŸ™

Living like sultans: Istanbul's pampered street cats.

For centuries, cats and Istanbul's residents have been very close, an ancestral culture that remains even today. According to City Hall, Istanbul has more than 160,000 cats on its streets who are regularly fed and cared for by residents

I have used the Canada Archives for my #genealogy for many years. A search turned up the eulogy for my 3rd Great-grandmother who died in 1852 in Toronto. I ordered the microfiche and it really helped to understand the family dynamic.

My parents bought a new 1976 Chevy Nova two-door. It was a stick shift on the column. My mom got a speeding ticket driving us to Grandma's house.
