The Blue Front Cafe, Bentonia, MS. Oldest active juke joint in the US. There are still places outside Slopistan, or places within it, where America can experience real history.
Wow. @Grokipedia's page on biological sex goes hard against sex spectrum pseudoscience, and clearly and powerfully affirms the binary nature of sex. This is such a valuable resource. Thanks @elonmusk!

After months of hard work, we’re proud to unveil the statue we’ll build to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States.
The Guardian of Liberty.
