Brian’s daycare captured a photo of one of my favorite things he does, where he jumps up on you and puts his forehead against you and stays like that. It’s his hug. He does it with them, too.

If you’ve ever struggled to learn to ride a bike, try ditching the pedals and focusing on balance first. It’s a simple trick that works for kids—and adults too! 🤓🚲 Here’s a handy guide to get you started: www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

My state has criminally lax gun laws. I expect bad things to see bad things happen as a result but seeing two men, clearly pensioners, nearly getting into a duel at a suburban grocery store over a cart is a new one. People are clearly not well and guns don't help.

In the wild these two would be competitors, but humans built a world for them where all of their needs are met. Where they never doubt that they'll be able to eat again when they're hungry, that they'll have shelter from the elements. Humans could build a world like that for other humans too.

I have always loved St Bartholomew's Church in Tong. It's a building with a rich history. Founded by Lady Isabella de Pembrugge, her tomb can still be seen. I noticed today it bears a hexafoil, an apotropaic symbol believed to ward off evil and provide protection. #hexafoil #apotropaic #Folklore
