Continuing a fine tradition. Did you know that, since around 2007, I've taken a photo of the first #Guinness of an evening? Tonight it's an almost properly poured pint from Molly Darcy's in St. Louis. Someday I might publish a photo journal of my Guinness travels. (at Molly Darcys Pub - Seven Gables Inn)

Well my @kcroyals played .500 ball when I was able to attend, and I gotta say, I enjoyed watching every minute. Here's looking forward to the playoffs! Go #royals! #foreverroyal

My #summer of #baseball. What a season! I saw some great games, some lousy games, took my first baseball #roadtrip and enjoyed every minute of it. My thanks to the staff at each @mlb park I visited: I felt welcome in your homes (@kcroyals @redsox @indians @cardinals) Go #royals!

The title tells all: Sisters in Law: How Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World. Author Linda Hirshman’s joint biography of the first and second woman to serve on the nation’s highest court is a gossipy, funny, sometimes infuriating and moving tale of two women so similar and yet so different.

Our own Nina Totenberg interviewed Hirshman – you can find the story here.

And of course, we can’t pass up this opportunity for Notorious RBG image macros!

NASA Deploys Congressional Rover To Search For Funding 

WASHINGTON—Calling the program “the most crucial in the agency’s history,” researchers at NASA announced Wednesday they have successfully deployed a Special Exploratory Rover to Congress as part of an open-ended mission to seek out any possible trace of funding on Capitol Hill.

The rover, named Hope, is a remotely operated, semi-autonomous vehicle outfitted with ultra-sensitive equipment that can detect even the smallest amounts of program-sustaining revenue, NASA scientists confirmed. The unmanned explorer will reportedly traverse the chambers of both the Senate and House of Representatives, continuing its search as long as necessary.

More.
