Almost every other day, I get a notification that @molly0xFFF has followed me. Except it's a fake account, and a different one each time. I wonder why it's only Molly and not other accounts I follow? Must be a bitcoin scam.

In 2011, the average range of electric cars was just 73 miles. It's now 247 miles. Some are getting more than 500 miles.

Today is STAR WARS day. The original film was probably Hollywood's biggest cultural phenomenon, and the making of story is a fascinating one. #StarWarsDay #MayThe4thBeWithYou A THREAD 1/37

What an epic afterball by @byjoelanderson on Hang Up and Listen this week about Marcus Williamson, HBCUs, and what college football takes from Black athletes! https://t.co/3ZmAAWd8Z7

What a great thread. Seems like something @BretDevereaux would be interested in.
1. Spices and Meat Surprisingly, flawed opinions persist about the use of spices in Early Modern Europe. Apparently it was to cover the smell of rotting flesh or to compensate for poor quality meat. I read two instances recently.
