Took some B&W images of the Museum and Science and Industry last month. When I got home looking up what this portion of the museum was called, I stumbled upon a photo taken when the building was the 1893 World's Fair Palace of Fine Arts. I should've bought a lottery ticket that night.

My mom sent me some papers that belonged to my grandfather, Darwin Randall Crum, which included a collection of “Disfrustrating Puzzles” he created

Which coin can you remove, (being careful not to touch the others), so that only eight coins remain? [Drawing of nine coins]DISCONNECT THE DOTS PUZZLE If you very carefully erase the lines which connect the dots you will find a common household pet waiting to catch a mouse. Be sure you erase only the lines connecting consecutive numbers. (Hint: Start at number one.)

An important and under-appreciated thing about corruption. It doesn't only do damage economically, though it does. It is also a means of undermining democracy and concentrate executive power. Corruption is how you reward allies, control the private sector and punish opponents outside of the law

More voters called government corruption crucial to their vote than any other issue, including the cost of living.

Horizontal stacked bar chart titled "More voters called corruption crucial to their vote than the cost of living," from the 2026 national exit poll. It shows how voters rated five issues as crucial, a major factor, a minor factor, or not a factor in their vote for Congress. Government corruption: 55% crucial, 36% major, 8% minor, 2% not a factor. Cost of living: 49% crucial, 40% major, 10% minor, 1% not a factor. Immigration enforcement: 36% crucial, 36% major, 20% minor, 7% not a factor. The war in Iran: 34% crucial, 40% major, 19% minor, 6% not a factor. AI and data centers: 23% crucial, 33% major, 31% minor, 13% not a factor. Corruption and cost of living are highlighted.

really cannot overestimate the psychological importance of tuesday when thinking about near and mid-term. the fact that democrats made this breakthrough will encourage people who might be formidable candidates to see if they can't do it too in the next cycle. winning builds on winning folks.

I am so fucking tired of "seeking justice" being framed as "getting even." Arresting and/or impeaching people who are legitimately guilty of actual crimes is not revenge. It is justice. Innocent people should be released from detention and guilty people should be in prison. Again, that is JUSTICE.

Brazil did not defend democracy by making conciliatory agreements with the people who instigated coups and theft of state resources. The ppl who did such anti-democratic and corrupt behavior faced criminal proceedings, prosecutions, and jail. Accountability is the only way.

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.

Wisconsin's election chief, Meagan Wolfe, just told the press: "There are no significant issues that have been reported, and things are going very smoothly. It looks like it's going to be a great election day here in the state of Wisconsin."
