A new traveling exhibit tells the story of Japanese American soldiers who fought for the U.S. in World War II, even as their families were incarcerated as enemies of the state.
The scene where the Boy Rangers and other kids are attack always shocks me
Loosely based on US Senator Burton K Wheeler, who was attacked and falsely indicted when, as a freshman senator in the 1920s, he fought corruption in the presidential administration of Warren G Harding. The Hays Office discouraged studios from the story. #TCMparty

It really is a miracle drug
This box of 1 ounce Aspirin dates to after 1913 when Bayer established its New York office at 117 Hudson Street. The box bears the “Bayer Cross” logo with the text “Registered Trademark/1 Ounce/Aspirin/(Monoaceticacidester of Salicylic Acid).” Bayer originally marketed its trademarked Aspirin in powder form only to the medical profession and drug firms, to distinguish the product from patent medicines sold directly to the public. On this package the name "Aspirin" is followed by "Monoaceticacidester of Salicylic Acid," the generic name Bayer provided for the product. Aspirin already had a fairly simple chemical name, acetyl salicylic acid or ASA, but the more complicated generic name helped Bayer maintain its monopoly on this lucrative new drug. The brand name “Aspirin” proved much easier to remember, and it was soon in popular use for all ASA products. Image source: The Smithsonian
On this day in 1899, Bayer Corporation put a trademark on acetylsalicylic acid. Since that day, the company has sold the NSAID or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug as “Aspirin.”

The cover has a light blue background tinge. Centered in the upper third is the title and underneath is the author. The illustrators name is centered in the lower one-sixth. In the middle is Stuart, dressed in a red shirt and yellow shorts. He's steering a canoe down a stream. There are various green plants in circled around the canoe, but Stuart and the canoe are center stage.

My NBA career has been imminent for 45 years. It’s gonna happen.
During the German occupation the Dutch were not allowed to listen to the BBC and were forced to hand in radios.
So many made their own wireless receivers that they then hid or camouflaged.
This one was hidden in a soap container, made with parts stolen from the Phillips factory.

As a child of the 80’s, this is how I was brought up to understand a baseball player should look.
Deep blue sky reflecting in a placid river. Bare branches draped across the front of the shot.
Fresh air, and sunshine.

“When a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it’s front-page news. I get it,” Hegseth told the reporters, military personnel, and civilians gathered this morning in the Pentagon. “The press only wants to make the president look bad, but try for once to report the reality…”
Pete Hegseth, if he does not resign, should at least get out of the way and let better men than him talk to the nation and to the press.
