"... several children stopped to thank him for his service... Then, watching families strolling in front of the memorial, he said quietly, 'I wish I could be as normal as they are.'" Just a gut-punch of a detail in this story on veterans from @orionds. https://t.co/SVFXXezQut

So comforting when the tech companies that spy on you every waking moment show how bad they sometimes still are at it. Like, yay, you think I care about "The White Lotus" (a show I've never seen, nor wish to) and prostate health! Better that than an inescapable echo chamber.

As Twin Peaks fans mourn the death of series creator (and onetime Spokane resident) David Lynch, there are more than a few references to the city and broader region in the show to keep track of. From me:

"Even though I know that another thing will bring me more joy, it's just so addicting. It's like a shackle that you just want to do that instead," one eighth-grader told @elenaperry00. These well-spoken kids are evidently taking to campus phone bans:

“It’s hard to explain what a tree means, but it’s terribly, terribly important for me.” A sapling from the tree that gave Anne Frank solace in hiding, as recounted in her famous diary, is coming to Spokane. Really cool story from @elenaperry00. https://t.co/mzWdhNGfL1

Forced to hide from Nazi forces, Anne Frank had little exposure to the outside world beyond the cramped attic she shared with her family.
