I remember when both Voyagers were making their fly bys. We'd get a bunch of images in magazines and stuff, and then wait several more years for the next planet. Between that and the Space Shuttle flights it was awesome.
I wasn't around for the moon landings so Skylab and Voyager were the highlights of my days.
I just unsubscribed to News myself for the same reason. I do like keeping up with what's going on in the world, but what gets posted is WAY too much politics. It brings in the negativity, and in your opinion that negativity spreads. I read a thread the other day about the Artemis launch and the top comments were all negative. It takes me not want to post or engage.
I'm going to start browsing only subscribed communities and see if that is any different.
"fun" little historical factoid on that. WAY back when the idea of national standards was being developed around 1992ish all the various disciplines started working on their stuff. A lot of them had agreed standards by 1994 or shortly thereafter. History/Social Studies took almost 10+ years to get that far because they were arguing over if dates/actions were more important or trends/impacts were more important. As it was explained to me at the time (2006ish) the issue was just stating facts or making them meaningful.
Disclaimer: I'm not claiming the above is scientific fact. That is what was relayed to me when taking a non-history course 20 years ago. Still, a fun thought experiment on what is truly important in learning.
We've known this for decades, but almost no districts will make the changes necessary. The youngest grades (K-4 or 5) should be the first schools to start in the morning, and the HS the last.
What happens when that is suggested is people balk at either sports programs needing to be cut or the argument that the older siblings need to be out of school to babysit the younger siblings.

Becoming CPR/First Aid certified isn't that difficult. Take one afternoon and you're good for two years.
Plenty of online options if you can't find an in-person class. Lots are free.
I did my part

not everyone who IS American wants to read it all the tome either.
That depends on what your definition of the word "is" is.

I had a whole rant about how Long Tall Weekend is just a greatest hits album but now reality is messing with me.
I like Apollo 18 a lot, but for me it’s Flood.
Apollo 18 is some of their best work, but as a whole Flood delivers.
