A good way to honor January 6th is just to reshare a bunch of the video from it so you can experience again the immediate visceral reaction to an attack on America.

It’s restricting free speech in an entirely appropriate way.

It's the national year of reading in the uk in 2026. Instead of asking "why don't kids read any more", ask "how can I help them find the stories (and non fic) they will fall in love with". Less "get off my lawn whippersnappers" and more "come, sit on the lawn, here's a comic".
