We once again find ourselves talking about potential life on another planet. Plus, another week in which history remains relevant in politics.

That creepy Black Mirror episode that got us all hooked, well it’s kinda real.

The real social justice athletes come from the WNBA; while Paris found a way to make water available to all.

This week I learned includes some very timely pieces of information. One about some big money being spent, and the other about the history of Vice President selections

It’s not to say that I’m ultra-productive. It’s to say I evaluate my time by productive or unproductive. And I’m not sure it’s a good thing.

And the last, well the last thing I learned is just insane and something that shouldn't be true, but unfortunately is.

After a few weeks of sharing less than *fun* things I learned, this week is a lighter read. It includes a celebratory anniversary, risks taken by a movie director/writer I admire, and a potentially pivotal moment in world history. I almost added in beluga whales having knees, but turns out that while they do have bones, they don’t have knees.

As I sit down to write this I’m realizing it’s a history-heavy article. It’s also a bit of a *not uplifting* article, sorry. The first topic comes from the 1800’s and a ridiculous rule in the U.S. Congress. Then we take a big jump in time and cover both world wars and one “American” icon.
