They might be interested about this over on /r/crosstitch/. I assume there's also a knitting sub, which might also like to hear about this.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL a woman was once drafted by the NBA but had to turn the team down bc she was pregnant. She’s also in the hall of fame. by Desolecontra
Its collusion when all the teams agree not to select high schoolers. To me its interesting that the Court now allows the NBA teams to collude and force one year of college or G-league on players.

This feels like the intro to an interesting fact, but there's not really a whole lot of interesting information in this post.
TIL that a guy had a diary.
Great.

Reply to comment by adamup27 in TIL Ohio’s state flag is the only non-rectangular flag of all the U.S. states. by valehole
At least it isn't one of the 15 flags that are blue with a state seal in the middle. Or one of the (possibly) 5 flags with Confederate symbology.

Reply to TIL in the 1950’s statues depicting Christopher Columbus making an indigenous woman flinch on one side and Davy Crockett arresting an indigenous man in front of his family on the other were taken down from the US capital by hillo538
I’m not one to normally say that we should destroy pieces from the past, because I think they’re teaching moments and ways to better our future.
But after seeing closeups of The Discovery of America, I would be waiting in line to smash it with a steel head hammer.
