Farm workers really, really, really need you to vote. Farm slavery is a very real multi-million business in this country. And Trump struck down major anti-slavery rules for farms last year. "Both parties are the same" Ok... Not for farm workers, they're not!

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

It's implied in the conversation, but I want to make it explicit. From the Lincoln Memorial to Arlington Cemetery is a hard-won road of peace, both historically and symbolically. Donald Trump wants to convert it to war, as he does everything he touches.

I struggle to articulate the severity of that second point - the kind of civic sacrilege it represents. The arch would be impious in the sot of way that calls for rituals of public humiliation like tarring and feathering.

The courts should block this. If they don't, we should tear it down on the very first day of the next administration. If possible, Trump should be made to watch the demolition. This, the ballroom, whatever he does to the Kennedy Center and all of the rest. Erase it all. Full damnatio memoriae.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

Humaning.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

Today in 1955, a specially-modified B-36 bomber—the NB-36H—made its first test flight out of Carswell Air Force Base, Texas, carrying (but not powered by) an operational 1-Megawatt air-cooled nuclear reactor. The NB-36H would make 46 more flights over Texas and New Mexico through March 1957.
A color photograph of the massive NB-36H in flight above some clouds and farm land, accompanied by a much smaller B-50 chase plane. Both aircraft are mostly silver-colored, and the NB-36H bears a large yellow and red radiation symbol painted on its tail and a painted logo of an atom (electrons whirling around a nucleus) just below and behind the cockpit.
