On a blistering hot July day in DC I chose to walk from marina past Watergate to see the Kennedy Center for myself. Was magical to just open the door & enter the hall of flags. The golden Kennedy bust was sooo much bigger than it seemed on TV. Dignified memorial. May it always be

Mark Attanasio shared a cool thing about tonight: Miz's mom was here. She was not planning to be, but she was working out this morning with his fiancée's mom and they decided on a whim to drive up from Kansas City.

"That was amazing," Crystal said. "I feel blessed to be here."

"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.

It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

Was told by a NPS employee this tree across from Lincoln’s home in Springfield IL is the last confirmed “witness tree” that would have been standing when Lincoln lived here and would have seen. Last night’s storm has destroyed it, staff say it can’t be saved #History #Lincoln

All in one afternoon/early evening. Terrifying.

Here’s a slightly extended edit of yesterdays tornado outbreak. This is just the tip of the iceberg; there’s more footage than I known what to do with. Extended cut will take a bit to put together. Stay tuned!

Quick edit showing some of the intense moments today while documenting 8 tornadoes in northern Illinois into Indiana. Massive shoutout to @skydrama for nailing the forecast in the warm sector. Hands down the craziest tornado outbreak I've ever documented.

Full video will be released in the near future on the @thestormreel YouTube page.

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.

"We cannot believe in Jesus and kill the innocent"

Speaking beneath the soaring towers of Gaudí's Sagrada Família, Pope Leo XIV reminded the world that Christian faith can never be separated from the dignity of every human person.

"We cannot believe in Jesus and promote war. We cannot believe in Jesus and kill the innocent. We cannot believe in Jesus and abandon those who suffer, those who weep, those who flee from misery."

Preaching in Barcelona, the Pope reflected on the cross crowning the basilica, calling it "the cross of the last who become first, of sinners who become saints, of the dead who will rise again."

The highest tower of the Sagrada Família, which he will bless today, may point toward heaven, but today Pope Leo's message pointed us toward our neighbor: the suffering, the displaced, the forgotten, and the vulnerable.

Faith, he reminded us, is not an idea carved in stone. It is a life transformed by the love of Christ.

Pooh sat down and thought. “I have been Foolish and Deluded,” said he, “and I am a Bear of No Brain at All.”
“You’re the Best Bear in All the World,” said Christopher Robin soothingly.
“Am I?” said Pooh hopefully. And he brightened up suddenly. ~A.A.Milne

This is great. In a bunch of ways.

[Bob Elder @southernphd]

I never met Gordon Wood, but I have a story about him.

In one of my grad school seminars, we read Wood’s Creation of the American Republic. The sheer erudition and evidentiary depth of the book bowled me over.

Back then, before kids and before life accelerated to warp speed, I used to call my mother every Sunday to catch up. Lots of times, we ended up talking about what I was reading that week in my grad seminars or for leisure. Mom had an omnivorous mind, and she was always looking for something else to read. She was a true intellectual—curious about almost everything, always eager to integrate new arguments or ideas into her existing schemas of how the world worked or to have those schemas challenged and changed.

When we talked that particular Sunday, I think I tried to describe to her part of Wood’s argument about the relationship between the state constitutions during the Articles of Confederation era and the federal Constitution. Maybe I was tired, maybe I didn’t completely understand her questions, but the end result of the conversation was that Mom had questions about Wood’s argument that I didn’t answer satisfactorily. I told her that she should probably just read the book, and we said goodbye.

She did eventually read the book, but the next Sunday, Mom started our conversation by saying, “Well, I had a lovely conversation with Gordon Wood this week.” For a split second, I thought she was joking, but then I remembered who I was dealing with. I started to sweat. “How?” I asked. A whole variety of unlikely scenarios in which the foremost historian of the American Revolution and my mother, who lived in Wichita, Kansas, might have met ran through my mind. “Oh, I just looked up his office phone number on Brown’s website and called, and he picked up!” Mom said. I decided I would have to find another profession.

As it ended up, Gordon Wood spent about an hour on the phone with my mother answering her questions about the Constitution. Ever since, I’ve had a soft spot for the man when I imagine him picking up the phone in Providence and finding Becky Elder from Wichita on the other end of the line. His generosity in that moment spoke very well of him.

Rest in peace, professor.
