May 29, 1765: Founding Father Patrick Henry delivered a fiery speech against the Stamp Act to the Virginia House of Burgesses.
At one point, those in the chamber yelled out, “Treason!” and Henry famously responded, "If this be treason, make the most of it!"
@RandaHandler Very cute video about flag folding!
Everyone who needs to explain why we fold our flag to honor our vets should gift Randa Handler's Flag Day Camping

An appropriate birthday present on my uncle's birthday today. A federal judge ruled that President Trump and the Kennedy Center Board acted unlawfully in renaming the Kennedy Center. The judge held that only Congress can change the Center's name and blocked the planned two-year closure. I know they'll probably appeal and the story isn't over, but for today let’s celebrate a great birthday gift.
Archaeologists have uncovered two skeletons outside the ancient city’s walls that reflect the details from Pliny the Younger’s account of the eruption. https://t.co/4lu7QkStnR
💙 Japan’s “Frieren fields” are in full bloom — looks straight out of anime
Nemophila is now at peak bloom in Hitachi Seaside Park, turning the landscape into endless blue waves.
Cosplayers are already flocking there — these fields were featured in Frieren.
It was super cool to see my nephew #JadAbumrad help present the award to his dad, Dr. Naji Abumrad from the vibrant and inclusive city of #Nashville@siloamhealth and appreciate special video message from Dolly Parton @dollyparton
Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author's words reverberating in your head.

How Oscars 2026 proves Hollywood has overdosed on Ozempic: Leading doctors name stars now at 'extreme' risk... and reveal terrifying new side effects https://t.co/toZkudtkbp
Hey Oscars producers, if you have time for a lengthy Bridesmaids bit and dumb filler presenter intros, you have time to let the winners give their thanks. It’s the best part of the show. Cutting off the mic after one person speaks (esp that Golden speech) is so, so cold. #oscars
My daughter texted me from a party:
“Mom, do we still have ice cream at home?”
We don’t. That’s the code.
“Ice cream” means: come get me right now.
“Cookies” means: call me in five minutes with an excuse.
“Nothing” means: I’m okay.
She said ice cream.
I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t text back.
I just grabbed my keys and drove.
When she got in the car she said quietly,
“People started bringing out things I didn’t want to be around.”
We drove home in silence.
Every kid deserves a way out without having to explain themselves first.
