To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.
RFK’s Anti-Vax Team Readies Its Next Moves
“Their game is, let’s really destabilize trust in the vaccine, and make people really anxious about it.”

Future Anthropologists:
The mating rituals of the 2000s were complicated and superstitious. For example, burning CDs.
People would take their favorite music and burn it as a sacrifice to the music gods, hoping they’d bring good fortune in dating.

I feel like Commander Adama warning people he won't have a network on the Galactica when I tell my family that under no circumstances will I allow a smart device into my house. No internet connected doorbells, washing machines, air fryers, lightbulbs. None. Not during my watch.

It could take decades to recover from where we are.
My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

The two-headed eagle is not only known from Warhammer 40K but it is the symbol of the Russian Empire, naturally stolen from earlier users.
The Bolsheviks did not like it, but it has been re-established to show the current Russian ambition to control both the East and the West.

Since it is Finland’s Independence Day today, here’s probably the most famous Finnish patriotic painting ever. My favourite too!
Because note the book the two-headed eagle is attacking. “Lex” - Law.
The rule of law.
“The Attack,” Edvard (Eetu) Isto, 1899.

The artificer nodded. "I can build this wheeled chair, but why? You have an enchanted hover seat."
"Yes," the wizard fumed, "but the palace have erected magic-cancelling wards."
"Why?"
"Don't know. But they didn't think of people who need mobility aids. So I need wheels to go shout at the king."

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).
