Once each summer, my old neighbor in Ohio used to come home from the farm with a truck bed full of the best sweet corn to give out and no corn I’ve had elsewhere has even come close.

Midwest summer corn with a little butter and salt is so good it would make anyone want to move here. It’s different than any other corn. I can’t even describe the difference but some of you know what I’m talking about.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

"The New York Mets may not be able to play a lick, but they're darn good people." "Babe Ruth has got nothing on me. I could show him a thing or two." "I've been watching these girls play since they were young and if they don't do it I'll kick them in the rear." Maybelle is amazing.

Parts of the Northeast US have been under a thick plume of smoke today overspreading the region from fires across south-central Canada - the worst smoke plume to affect the region since the infamous 2023 NYC smoke plume. Thread for the meteorology associated with this:

I am an avid hater of cool toned lighting, and will immediately change any offending lightbulb with a warm replacement. However, the orange light outside mid-day is much more dread inducing than cozy.

There are several meteorology and weather-related panels at #eshs-hss, which I've had to miss because of other duties. I'll use this chance to flag our call for contributions for a Sourcebook on histories of weather and weathering teleskopos.wordpress.com/2026/02/05/c...

I'm not sure even a women's league can get me enthused for baseball but I'll happily buy some merch and be a fake fan, this Boston WPBL gear is sick

I told my girl Hilary Knight I would make sure ALL the women get to go to the ESPYs. Imma take care of all travel glam wardrobe. But if any companies want to support,,, here’s another chance to Do The Right Thing 👍🏾

Here we go again,,, The US Gold Medal Winning Women’s Hockey Team is nominated for Best Team at the ESPYs. The ESPYs offer ALL teams the same number of invites to rep the team at the awards,,, meaning some get left out. These women deserve to represent and celebrate together.

The women’s hockey team win GOLD

BTW, here's the full quote from Hilary Knight on Manon Rheaume and the team being built in Detroit from the HSJ piece the other day. Hard to not be excited about the team.

Rheaume's all-in approach to winning now holds huge appeal for Knight. "She's the reason why I'm coming to Detroit," Knight said. "I think that vision starts with her, and I want to trust somebody who's done it. She understands it, she gets it. So to be able to follow her to Detroit and be a part of that expansion class there is really special to me." "I'm really excited with the sort of roster that she's forming and building and the culture she wants to have in the room. Her expertise and what she's done in her own right is awesome. But establishing something in Detroit − I don't want to necessarily put too lofty of goals or expectations on this team because it is an expansion team. However, we have a lot of people who are willing to go through a wall for Manon, and want to get it done and want to be the best hockey players and people that they can be. I think that's a great first step."

Being mindful that she is extremely media trained at this point, the two major conclusions I've come to based on Hilary Knight's local media availability pieces that dropped yesterday are: 1) Detroit being openly win-now mattered to players and 2) deep respect for Manon & staff.
