"My father, an early and prominent computer scientist, passed away more than two years ago. Since then I’ve been trying to make sense of how rapidly the world that helped make him, and in turn the one he helped shape, is unraveling." 1/ scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/06/26/d...

"You need not caution me regarding any little remarks which you might make for to no one living [underlined in orig.] would I reveal them. I too have many things which I would like to speak to you of but yet it would not do to write about." Oh, come on Mother Agatha! Spill! #nuntastic gossip.

I have a feeling that the assholes currently running Interior are going to regret this directive in the end. There are too many smart, vindictive supporters of national parks out there. I just wish that park rangers were not caught in the cross-fire. #supportNPS

In 1907, Eugene Debs joined the staff of Appeal to Reason, a Socialist newspaper based in Girard, Kansas. His wife Katherine formed personal and professional relationships with some of the women instrumental to the paper's success, especially Grace Babbitt Brewer, the head of the Appeal Army.

Why, yes, I did watch Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood while using the treadmill this morning. Everyone should start the day with Mr. Rogers. Refresher on how to make paper chains & lesson on how paper is made ✅️ Time to take on the day!
