I’m still working and must laugh regularly. I play clawhammer banjo with people I like, read widely, and sell books and secure the galleries at the Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University.
Poverty increases under Trump. Fight this.
Starting Nov 1, SNAP benefits will be delayed in Georgia. This admin could send out benefits if they wanted to but they are CHOOSING not to. It’s a craven attempt to gain leverage in their fight to rip health care away from millions. I will fight this.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

This whole thread...
On Friday, my phone lit up with urgent texts. First: gunshots, lockdown. Then the photos—bullet holes punched through windows, shell casings scattered across the floor, videos echoing with “pop pop pop.” The CDC campus was under attack. Dozens of my friends and colleagues were inside.

When I was a kid, we had fine sculpture of Uncle Remus characters. I like the Popeye sculpture in style of Elzie Segar in this whole thread. "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."

Rachel Carson:
Rereading Rachel Carson's THE EDGE OF THE SEA, from 1955, where she casually mentions that species are migrating northward and that this is "of course, related to the widespread change of climate that seems to have set in about the beginning of the century and is now well recognized."

I just listened to James Earl Jones oral interpretation of this via @wrfg.bsky.social on my way to work. Douglass challenges us, "As with rivers, so with nations." To go on, with Lincoln, "bind up the wounds..."
#Onthisday in 1852, in the Corinthian Hall of Rochester, NY, Frederick Douglass gave his famous speech now known as "What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?". The fact that it was given on the fifth and not the fourth was significant: publicdomainreview.org/collection/f... #otd

Here is insight into Mr. Miracle (aka Scott Free), as created by Jack Kirby in 1970.
'Scotch-free'? 'Scott free'??
The one you want to use is 'scot-free.'
‘Scot’ is an old word for “tax.”
So, ‘scot-free’ literally means “exempt from tax.”
It’s since been broadened to mean “completely free from obligation, harm, or penalty.”

I bought and read comics with art by Billy Graham with great amazement. I want to back up and read the Warren stories in reprint editions. Here's to this great Billy Graham.
Today is the birthday of artist Billy Graham (July 1, 1935-April 4, 1997), most known for his work at Warren Publishing, and his great runs on Luke Cage: Hero For Hire, Black Panther, & Sabre.

UPDATE: Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill cuts nearly $1 TRILLION from Medicaid.
Senate Republicans dropped a nearly 1,000-page “Big Beautiful Bill” in the DEAD OF THE NIGHT.
And they want to vote on it TODAY.
Trump is jamming through a bill that rips away health care, closes hospitals, raises grocery and utility bills to give tax breaks to billionaires.
