From the founding era. In 2018 this went out every weekday as a card, not an essay — so there is no narrative to publish here, and none has been invented. What follows is the edition itself, reconstructed from the two spreadsheets that recorded it.
Today is
- National Chop Suey Day
- International Day Against Nuclear Teasts
- Lemon Juice Day
- Willing to lend a hand Wednesday
- More Herbs Less Salt Day
This day in history
- The Beatles last commercial performance (1966)
- Soviet Union Tests It’s first Atomic Bomb (1949)
Born on this day
- Michael Jackson (1958) · John McCain (1936) · Ingrid Bergman (1915) · John Locke- Philosopher (1632)
Recorded as a single run in the source sheet; we haven't matched each name to a year.
Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you had in mind.— David G. Allen
Riddle of the day
Who makes it, has no need of it. Who buys it, has no use for it. Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.
The answer
Coffin — in 2018 you'd have waited until the next morning for this.
