At a parent- principal coffee. I feel for these teachers and administrators. One parent complained about not enough communication. The next one complained about getting too many emails so she doesn’t know what’s important. 🤦🏻

He’s thrown three over 102 mph. Also, he blew the save and was a Mike Trout leaping catch from blowing the game.

Any suggestions for good books about the English perspective of the American Revolution? My kid has read everything he can about the founders and from their side. Perhaps @kevinmkruse.bsky.social, you have some suggestions?

With so much AI-generated imagery about, being a self-employed illustrator can feel a bit daunting. To support someone who takes a couple of days to produce each illustration, please head over to matthewjiwood.com and take a look, or simply share this post - both hugely appreciated. Matthew

Heard a great story last night: A friend was working in the European Parliament and was sitting with Otto von Hapsburg at the bar. Someone came up, and thinking they were clever said “Austria-Hungry football is tomorrow. Who will you be rooting for?” Otto responded, “well who are they playing?”

For your daily nightmare fuel, the trees around Cherynobl are not decaying b/c the microbes, fungi, & bacteria that help them decay are not there. So it’s greatly increasing the fire risk in the no-go zone, which is its own kind of terrible b/c the forest is radioactive. (I know it’s from 2014).

'I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield,' North Carolina driver tells 911
It’s not clear if the feline slipped from the eagle’s talons near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or was discarded simply because the big bird didn’t have a taste for it.
