Poor CCM. Always a bridesmaid. Like the O-Pee-Chee version of bicycles.

A personal platypus: the strange tale of Winston Churchill’s ‘magnificently idiotic’ wartime request
The wartime British PM was due to receive a monotreme named after him but it mysteriously died en route. German submarines were blamed – but was that the truth?

50 years ago today, July 2, 1975: TWILIGHT ZONE creator Rod Serling was laid to rest in Lake View Cemetery in Interlaken, New York. He had died four days earlier at age 50 following complications from open-heart surgery. The Serlings have had a summer cottage on nearby Cayuga Lake for generations.
Rod Serling’s decorated grave marker lies in Lot G, Plot 44 of Lake View Cemetery in the Village of Interlaken, Seneca County, New York, on June 29, 2025.  The marker is inscribed with his rank in the U.S. Army during Word War IIꟷTechnician Fifth Grade (Tec 5)Rod Serling’s grave was the first in a family plot in Lake View Cemetery in Interlaken, New York.  Interred alongside him are his wife of 27 years Carolyn K. Serling (1929-2020), his brother Robert Jerome Serling (1918-2010), and his sister-in-law Priscilla Elaine Serling (1943-2000).

Dwayne Wade makes a public speech about his beautiful daughter Zaya Wade, a trans model. His poignant words will make you understand how a parent loves their child. This unconditional love is so powerful and beautiful. My eyes are wet. 🥹

It's going to be really interesting to see how these tactics hold up in an era where anyone on the scene can document what's happening and share it for the world to see.

One of the best purchases I've ever made. Even the bottle design brings joy. Recommend using with a Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen.

Bought some Joy Division albums there. He says “This is pretty gloomy stuff. You aren’t gonna listen to all of these at once, are you?” with a smile on his face. Thanks Rob - we’ll miss you.

I knew someone who once wrote Jimmy Carter off as a human being because "the luggage (his own) that he carried [off of Air Force One] was empty." Or so a secret service agent said. What a petty and spiteful thing to say, given all the good the man did.
