Got my updated COVID and flu shots today because I prefer not dying and also fuck RFK jr and this whole willfully ignorant and malicious administration.
President Woodrow Wilson signed legislation creating the National Park Service OTD in 1916. The agency's "Organic Act" directs it to conserve & manage park areas & resources for the enjoyment of current & future generations of Americans.
I loved my 25+ years working in the NPS!

I recorded this “2 Complicated 4 History” podcast last year when I was still Director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library. They just released it w/ a very kind introduction addressing the Trump administration forcing me out of that job. Isaac & Lynn are great hosts & are now good friends of mine.
WOW, did the Guardians offense need that.
That's some luck they didnt have. Went from getting one run on a bases loaded HBP to overturned and Manzardo hits a grand slam.
Took advantage of the relatively decent weather (it’s hot, but not I’ll die if I run longer than 3 miles hot) to get a six miler in tonight. Ran out of gas at the end, but best run this year
In 1999, the legendary Diana Ross was detained by authorities at London's Heathrow Airport after she physically objected to a security officer examining her body and touching her breasts in a way that Ross felt was inappropriate.
This woman witnessed the moment at the airport and offered her view.

2014 NYY Dellin Betances, Masahiro Tanaka
