I've added special accommodations for my parents travel on two of the airlines so far but the United site is just complete trash. Didn't work on mobile and even on my laptop there was a struggle that required closing the tab and starting again. Execs will say, "nobody chooses based on website". 1/2

Lake Ontario's name comes from the Wyandot word Ontarí'io, which is typically translated as "beautiful lake". The Kanienʼkéha called it Katarokwi. Samuel de Champlain called it Lac de St. Louis. The name Lacus Ontario was first recorded in 1660 by Francis Creuxius.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

a poem about going

Artemis II
Leslie J. Anderson

When Prometheus gave us fire
this is the kind of thing he hoped for,
not the blood on our hands but
the burn of the rockets bright as the light
in our eyes. Surely he saw
in us the willingness to be torn asunder
again and again, to send our bodies out
against the talons of the universe
to come home, wrap our arms around
each other and sing, rejoice!
There is still no end of the world!

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.
