On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

"But averages aren't real," objected Milo. "That may be so," he agreed, "but they're also very useful at times. For instance, if you didn't have any money at all, but you happened to be with four other people who had ten dollars apiece, then you'd each have an average of eight dollars.“

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Since yesterday would have been the 90th birthday of the late Jim Henson, and since today marks one month since Dolly Parton died, here they are singing a duet (with Henson voicing Kermit the Frog) on Dolly's variety show in 1987. See you around.

Baroness Orczy was born #OTD in 1865. Her series of novels featuring The Scarlet Pimpernel, the alter ego of Sir Percy Blakeney, is the origin of the #superhero trope--creating the archetype of the "hero with a secret identity," a concept central to modern superhero fiction. #BookSky📚🖋️
Split-image portrait of Baroness Emmuska Orczy: on the left, a black-and-white studio photograph of the author in early 20th-century attire, wearing a light chiffon gown with lace bodice, double strand of pearls, pearl drop earrings, and an elegant updo; on the right, the iconic red cover of her novel "The Scarlet Pimpernel" featuring a black line drawing of the masked hero aiding aristocrats into a carriage, with bold title text above and "BARONESS ORCZY" below.

Humaning.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

Chemist and physicist Irène Joliot-Curie was born #OTD in 1897. Joliot-Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 (jointly with her husband, Frédéric) for the discovery of artificial radioactivity. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience
A black-and-white historical photograph of pioneering French physicist and Nobel Laureate Irène Joliot-Curie (1897–1956) in her element inside a laboratory. Standing behind a lab bench, she is positioned in a three-quarter view, looking directly at the camera with a serious, deeply focused, and dignified expression. Her dark hair is pulled back away from her face. She wears a structured, long-sleeved white laboratory coat over dark clothing. Her hands are actively engaged with glass scientific apparatuses, including flasks, tubing, and a glass beaker filled with numerous stirring rods and glass funnels. The overall composition highlights both the scientist and her domain. The mood is intellectual, professional, and intensely focused, reflecting her immense historical significance in structuralizing early nuclear research and the discovery of artificial radioactivity.
