Passed JFK’s memorial in Runnymede, England earlier. “Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, or oppose any foe in order to assure the survival and success of liberty.”

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

My then-8yo daughter sliced her finger open once, trying to cut an onion to look at under her junior microscope. Rather than panic about the blood her first instinct was to catch some on a slide to see what it looked like. I was equal parts proud and horrified 😆

These people are insane. It’s madness. Generations put in effort barring the doors to hell shut and they want to open them because they think the demons will politely eat a few libs and queers then leave everything else tidy and unmolested. They are risking millions, perhaps billions of lives.

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall.

Love location-spotting things like this. Cruachan dam (near Oban in Scotland) appears as the Empire garrison base in Andor and the McLaren technology centre near Woking in England is Coruscant spaceport 😂
