This is one of the most beloved paintings in America, and it puts its finger on something we all pass through, first as the child, and one day as the parent left behind...

The painting is Breaking Home Ties, by Norman Rockwell, on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1954. A father and his teenage son sit side by side on the running board of a battered farm truck, waiting at a railway stop. A single track runs along the bottom of the picture. A ticket pokes from the boy's pocket. His suitcase is stacked with schoolbooks and wears a "State U" pennant. The train is coming to carry him off to college, away from home, for the first time in his life.

Everything is in the way they sit.

The son sits upright, scrubbed and dressed in his best, eyes fixed on the horizon, on the track, on the future rushing toward him. He is already half gone. For him that train is the beginning of everything.

His father sits beside him in worn work clothes and scuffed boots, looking the other way, down the line, as if he cannot bear to watch it arrive. The same train means the opposite thing to him. For the son it is the start of a life. For the father it is the day the house grows quieter, the chair at the table sits empty, and the person he built his world around walks out into a life that no longer has him at its centre.

Look at his hands. He is holding two hats. His own battered one, and resting on top of it, his son's crisp new one, held carefully together, because it is the last small thing he can still do for the boy...

And then the dog, its head laid in the son's lap, gazing up, refusing to look away. Rockwell knew exactly what that was for: "The father couldn't show how he felt about the boy's leaving," he said. "The dog did."

It has moved people for 70 years because every leaving is a beginning for one person and an ending for another. The child steps out into the world, as they should. And someone stays behind, watching them go, and loving them enough to let them go anyway...

It’s illegal to feed wildlife at national parks because they get dependent on handouts and forget how to survive.

Kinda sounds familiar doesn’t it?

I recently heard someone equate college students using AI as equivalent to using calculators. I laughed. This is not what we’re seeing in the humanities and social sciences. Students are using AI to avoid learning and deep-think writing assignments. It’s not a “tool.”

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

The playing rule proposals submitted by the NFL Competition Committee for consideration by clubs at next week’s league meeting:

1. Permit the kicking team to declare an onside kick at any
time during the game.

2. Eliminate the kicking team’s incentive to intentionally
kick the ball out of bounds when kicking off from the 50-yard line.

3. Modify the kickoff alignment requirements for the receiving team in the setup zone.

4. Allow League personnel to consult with on-field officials
when considering disqualifications for both flagrant football acts and non-football acts without being called on the field.

5. For one year only, allow the NFL Officiating Department
to correct clear and obvious misses by on-field officials that impact the game, in the event of a work stoppage involving the game officials represented by the NFL Referees Association.
