In solidarity, alumni of Cornell, especially recent graduates, should be filing a class action lawsuit because Cornell just degraded their degrees and hurt potential earning power by not handling this properly and getting law enforcement involved. That young lady deserves some justice.

Our pomegranate tree is having a generous year, and I am enjoying the practice of popping the seeds out of the fruit. Do you know the trick of running a knife around the shoulders and taking off the end(s) before breaking it into sections?

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

Anyone accepting a $5,000 “GOP Dividend” from Trump for voting is looking at a $10,000 fine and 5 years in jail. It's illegal to offer, give, or accept money for voting. 52 U.S.C. §10307(c) Trump has already violated this law. But voters they will never be liable because they will never get paid.

The 12yo is interested in #Smaugust, a month of drawing dragons, named in honour of Smaug, from The Hobbit. He couldn’t find a prompt list which really inspired him so he made his own. I am sharing it here in (complete with his illustration!) case you want to play along.

My son’s pencil drawing shows a large winged dragon climbing a rock wall next a tiny dragon. There is a typed list of 31 prompts and title “Smaugust 2026”.

The prompts are:
1. Archaic
2. Earth
3. Quagmire
4. Lift
5. Tendril
6. Ethereal
7. Ring
8. Fragile
9. Water
10. Shrine
11. Amalgam
12. Desert
13. Trance
14. Crypt
15. Fell
16. Air
17. Abiotic
18. Marrow
19. Herald
20. Mycelium
21. Catalyst
22. Origin
23. Fire
24. Alien
25. Elixir
26. Charm
27. Asymmetric
28. Torrential
29. Infestation
30. Quintessence

Almost there, short ~800. If a few of us upped our pledges just a little we’d make it easy. I just added $25 to mine. With over 900 backers it wouldn’t take too many. Who’d like to send in a little more to get the extra 800 to get to the goal.

So, when that woman started singing *La Marseillaise* and all those real refugees were moved to tears... Good Bastille Day.🇫🇷🎉
