Lapsed anthropologist. All things cultural heritage + digital. Thoughts expressed are my own. (Not the Connecticut-based realtor who shares my name, and sadly, my features.)

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments.

The #NoKings march in DC was large, vocal, &, as I overheard a fellow marcher say, the "most considerate group of people I've ever met." Sad to see snipers on the roof of the National Gallery of Art, & speakers behind what I assume was bulletproof glass.
Also, the sandwich made an appearance.
