Oxfam reports 49% of children in the United States are growing up in poverty.
Nearly HALF of American kids.

#3GoodThings (the Moby-Dick edition)
1. All 14 students finished the novel, & I will gift them w/#MobyDick t-shirts.
2. Great discussion of the interdependence of stories: Ishmael needing Ahab (the hunt provides Ishmael w/the material for the amazing chapters where he discusses the whale's body); Ahab needing the whale; Melville needing Ahab (to write the Shakespearian voice).
3. The novel as absurd (& yet we believe): Ahab finding this one whale in the Pacific sans GPS!

Just tuning the thing requires a fusillade of mouse clicks.

The idea is to pipe the output into WSJT-X and try to decode WSPR, for now.
I think I'm going to call it a night.

#Pennsylvanians have voted to retain Justices Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht to the Keystone State’s highest court!
This victory ensures the court remains independent and accountable to the people — not the billionaires and special interests trying to buy our democracy.

These results tell us something deeper: voters care about affordability and freedom, and Democrats who focus on that message — whether they’re moderates or progressives — are winning."
