My late sister was a biologist who for years named her cats after viruses, which means every horrific outbreak of Ebola, Marberg, Hanta, Ippy, Lassa, or Zika brings me fond memories of her.

The Committee of Five—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman—was appointed to draft the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago today.

Jefferson's draft of the document is here at the Library, and will be featured in a new exhibition opening July 3.

@pk_kenzie It was like a burger joint you could count on for good quick meal. But was bought by a militant vegan who hated burgers and told burger lovers to leave but their vegan friends never came to the restaurant.

This is the best edit. No commentary. Just the sound of The Garden.

Virginia is voluntarily joining a greenhouse gas reduction network that will drive up energy costs.

People will blame data centers. They’ll be lying, but they’ll do it.

I looked into the U.S. Navy's Corsair drone boat that just rescued two American pilots in the Strait of Hormuz, and the engineering is remarkable.

Built by Texas-based Saronic Technologies, the Corsair is a 24-foot autonomous surface vessel powered by AI. It hits 40 mph, carries 1,000 pounds of payload, and can sail more than 1,000 miles without a human aboard. Each unit costs roughly $1 million to produce, which is a fraction of what comparable manned naval assets cost.

The platform runs on Saronic's autonomy stack, which fuses real-time sensor data, computer vision, and AI decision-making to navigate, identify targets, and execute mission objectives without remote piloting. It's part of the Navy's Task Force 59, the unit dedicated to AI-powered unmanned vessels operating in the Middle East.

Saronic stood this up in 12 months from prototype to production. The company is on track to build more than 20 vessels per year by 2027.

This is what American AI looks like in the field. 🇺🇸
