In our house, we celebrate every day

Picture of a framed poster hanging on a yellow wall. The frame and the background of the poster are black; at the top, in white letters, it reads, “BATTLE FLAG 20th Maine Regiment Retired After the Battle of Gettysburg, 1863.” At the bottom, it reads, “Maine State Museum Augusta, Maine.” In between is an image of an extremely tattered US flag, with most of the stripes about half as long as they originally were and several stars missing.

I’d celebrate both, but there is definitely no comparison! It’s just a matter of whether we’ll drink our house dry first or go to the local beer garden first

Living inside the Beltway is weird sometimes

In the foreground is a big pile of dirt excavated during construction. In the background, mostly obscured by the dirt, is a black dumpster with, for some reason, a picture of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson on the side. Johnson has a surprised expression and is putting maybe a hot dog in his mouth? I assume it’s photoshopped.

I was going to do a Katie Ledecky-based donation for Charity Bowl After Dark, but this post made me hungry, so I went with Hobee’s glorious coffeecake (and an omelet on the side) instead. Go Card! 🌲 @newap-georgia.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social

Remember when Stanford beat USC 5 times in 6 years? Total points scored in those games, plus that 41-point spread, plus the end of USC’s 35-game home winning streak. Plus $50 for 50 straight years with a Stanford natty, shoutout 2026 men’s gymnastics! @newap-georgia.bsky.social

Not one single person at NASA read Adam Higginbotham’s Challenger book.

Screenshot of an excerpt from an Air Live article that should remind everyone of Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia. It reads:

“The Road to 2028: Double Landing Attempt

Under the new roadmap, Artemis IV has been designated as the first crewed landing mission. NASA is banking on a significantly accelerated flight cadence to maintain momentum.

Isaacman revealed a goal of reducing the Space Launch System (SLS) turnaround time from the current three-year gap to just 10 months. If achieved, this could allow for two lunar landing attempts in 2028 (Artemis IV and Artemis V), utilizing both the SpaceX and Blue Origin landers.”

The juxtapositions are incredible! I did the order an object service and got to touch a necklace Judi Dench wore when she played Juliet and to see some Beatrix Potter watercolors up close. The whole experience made me giddy.

Seeing Audra at the Kennedy Center is one of many beautiful, life-affirming experiences my kid and I shared there. Taking this kind of joy away (and also putting people out of work) is so typical of this cruel regime. Fuck this and fuck them.

It’s the Calcio Storico in Florence. Neighborhood teams playing rugby while doing mixed martial arts. I’ve never seen anything remotely like it. You wouldn’t believe the setting in a movie.

Pregame ceremonies at the Calcio Storico in Florence in June 2025. There were several groups of drummers, color guards, and others groups, all in brightly-colored Renaisssance clothes and all standing on a sandy pitch surrounded by bleachers constructed in Piazza Santa Croce, with the basilica on the right side

The basilica of Santa Croce in the background of a picture of some teams and bands on the pitch and red-clad fans of Santa Maria Novella in the bleachers directly in front of the church. Some of the fans are holding a banner that says (in Italian), “abandon all hope, you who enter here”
