This is a really good read. https://www.albertbridgecapital.com/...ay-in-the-game

I was in a position to help someone on my way into work yesterday morning but because I was late/tired/surprised/scared, I sort of just watched the situation shrink into my rear view mirror. And I’ve sort of felt like a piece of shit since. This is a good reminder to do better.

That was great, and I don't even really like dogs.

Absolutely crazy story about a nurse in Germany who has confessed to killing 43 people in ICUs that he has worked in. But records show that upwards of 300 people died, either during his shifts or shortly after. Apparently he has some type of narcissistic disorder, where he would administer lethal doses of drugs and then resuscitate patients. Negligence everywhere, from fellow workers, supervising physicians, and initial prosecutors.

This is one of my favorite XKCDs"

The church was getting rid of the old globe they had in there, so I snagged it and brought it to work. Using this I was able to determine that the globe was made in 1952-53.

I personally can remember black and white restrooms and drinking fountains. I'm guessing mid to late 60's at the earliest

This was in 1968. Like I said, I am ignorant of the details of the civil rights movement. I just didn't see it growing up in the west. But I thought that was crazy it happened just a couple of years before I was born.

Interesting article on the Orangeburg massacre, which I had never heard of. Three black students were killed on campus by state troopers after their protest became unruly. The protest was in part due to a still segregated bowling alley.

I know little of the civil rights movement, but I was surprised at how late open segregation continued to happen. If you had to guess, what was the last year segregation in the south was still sanctioned?
