worth noting that the worst democratic performance in the 2022 midterms happened in New York where a democratic executive leaned heavily into accusing other democrats of being soft on crime
Biden bucks liberals and tells Democrats to get tough on crime. “Crime is only gaining salience as an issue. It seems that Biden, as he apparently runs for re-election, is informing his party to wake up," said @mattgorman. nbcnews.com/politics/white-h…

Good question: Why did 17th-c. Europeans take up tobacco but not coca? Both American plants were used as hallucinogens. (Early tobacco was not modern tobacco [Nicotiana tabacum], but a related species, N. rustica, a potent hallucinogen in high doses.) cambridge.org/core/journals/…

sheep is a fluid
Drone photographer Lior Patel followed a herd of sheep for several months, as the herd was shepherded to its summer pasture. Entrancing and relaxing.

All of you have seen cave art, right? Either sketches or photos in books or online. If you're really lucky, maybe you've been in a cave yourself with a flashlight or something. But is it possible that the way we look at cave art today hides a key aspect of the art? 🧵
