On this day in 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivers his famous Gettysburg Address. The president's critics initially dismiss the 90-second speech as "ludicrous" and "silly." It will later be held up as the most brilliant piece of oratory in U.S. history.

.@JoeBiden has served our country with all his heart and great distinction for more than half a century. History will honor him for his many extraordinary accomplishments as president AND for the terribly difficult and selfless decision he made today.
He understands what Donald Trump does not.
Our country is bigger than any one person--even the president of the United States.

Andy Rooney landed on the beach of Normandy days after D-Day, 80 years ago today. In 2004, he shared a firsthand account of “a day unlike any other.”

“It’s hard for anyone who has been in a war to describe the terror of it to anyone who hasn’t,” he said. https://t.co/xknrIeLymT.

My theory: burnout has nothing to do with how many hours or how hard you work. It's caused by working for people you don't like, towards goals you don't believe in, in systems that grant you no agency.
