Well, I might as well make the move. Especially with Elon threatening charges of treason to Retired Lieutenant Colonel Vindman. bsky.app/profile/midwestplan…

On this day 56 years ago — June 15, 1970 — the Coney Island division of the Taft Broadcasting Company broke ground on what would become Kings Island. Construction, led by the Charles V. Maescher & Co. firm, marked the beginning of a new era in American amusement parks. By year’s end, work was already underway on signature attractions including the Eiffel Tower replica, the International Street fountains, and The Racer roller coaster.

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias: “New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

Churching alone: "Pioneering sociologists Helen & Robert Lund spent a chunk of the 1920s in Muncie, Ind. (which they code-named Middletown USA) & took note of the many ways that fast cars & open roads were annihilating the town’s longtime social norms" wsj.com/tech/ai/tech-innovat…

Vivek Ramaswamy is a shameless scammer. While he has spent his entire campaign attacking Dr. Acton and Gov. DeWine for their response to the pandemic, it turns out Vivek himself—a biotech billionaire— 👉🏼 made millions on the COVID vaccine 👉🏼 wanted to segregate the population based on vaccine status 👉🏼 wanted to establish a national COVID-19 registry 👉🏼served on Ohio’s COVID response team and then paid to have it scrubbed from Wikipedia Ohioans need to know the truth about this guy.
