How do place names get made and then changed? There’s a process. But it involves people as well as bureaucracy, so it’s not simple or quick, as President Trump is about to find out.

It is John Hancock's birthday, so let's celebrate with this note from a bank named after him that made a point to lean into his famous signature with its design. It also features a big ass bald eagle with a street scene in the background. John Hancock Bank, Springfield, MA, $2, Jan 1, 1857. 🗃️

In a little bit on the East Coast, the Moon will pass between the Earth and Mars (which is just down and to the left of the Moon). (Projection of planets/stars via the excellent SkyView app.)
