The cast of #Taskmaster series 19 is delightful. Their chemistry is off the charts, and it’s evident how much they enjoy one another. As an American I previously didn’t know any of the Brits, but count me a fan. Something special here.
Thanks to whoever put the whole show on YouTube.

What a tune. What great chords. Powerful hearing Brian solo. One of my favorites from the Beach Boys.

I worked for Alaska Job Corps and watched it equip students with skills they could take back to their villages. They gained skills by which they could make a living. This is a loss that will reverberate through Alaska’s small communities.
Opinion: I’ve seen firsthand how Alaska Job Corps transforms our young people. Closing it isn’t in anyone’s best interest.
The potential closure should alarm Alaskans who care about opportunities for young people.

I’m not Jewish, but it is fascinating watching ancient faiths wrestle with contemporary life. This show on Max looks good.

Mind-blowing trivia.
My grandparents were born in the 1920s.
This guy‘s grandpa, President John Tyler, was born less than a year after George Washington’s inauguration.

I have a couple of BIVO water bottles from our neighboring town, Richmond, Vermont. It’s frustrating seeing the President’s folly affecting our local businesses.

Happy 60 years to Saxon Hill School.
I’m digging our new prayer flags backed by big clouds from the approaching thunder storm.
Zoom in on the flags. They say a lot about the culture of our school.

Wildful by Kengo Kurimoto is one of the most visually stunning graphic novels I've seen in a long time. Almost wordless and with beautiful sepia illustrations, it's a wonderfully 'quiet' story about friendship and grief that encourages us to think about the healing power of nature. @pushkinpress.com
