I just found out that the Argentine comic book artist Juan Giménez has died of complications from COVID-19. He was the co-creator of “The Metabarons” series with Alejandro Jodorowsky. Giménez made some gorgeous sci-fi art.

“Message from President George Washington Regarding Recess Appointments,” 2/9/1790

File Unit: Records Relating to Executive Nominations from the 1st Congress, 1789 - 1791. Series: Executive Nominations, 1789 - 2002. Record Group 46: Records of the U.S. Senate, 1789 - 2015.

The Senate received this letter from President George Washington stating that he had made appointments during their recent recess. In his letter, Washington noted the Constitution allowed for temporary appointments. In a chart, he then listed the titles of vacant positions and the names of those to whom he had given temporary appointments. He also included the names of those he nominated to the positions for a full term - the nominees were all the same people who had received the recess appointments.

On July 17th, former President Obama delivered the Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture, in Johannesburg. The lecture came not long after Donald Trump’s press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. The talk was Obama’s most extensive reflection so far on the current political climate, though it did not once mention Trump by name. The lecture is edited, but not much.—David Remnick

On Tuesday, when Barack Obama walked onto a stage in Johannesburg to deliver the 2018 Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture, commemorating the centenary of the former South African President’s birth, he offered the sharpest possible contrast between himself and his successor—between statesman and demagogue—and, crucially, the distinction between a man who grasps history as the living context of our lives and one unburdened by the knowledge of how we arrived at the present and what that means for the future.

Evangelical minister Rob Schenck was once a militant leader of the anti-abortion movement, blockading access to clinics to prevent doctors and patients from entering.

But after more than 20 years in the movement, Schenck experienced a change of heart. Though firm in his evangelicalism, he has disavowed his militant anti-abortion stance – he talks about the change in a new memoir, Costly Grace, and you can check out his conversation with Fresh Air’s Terry Gross here.
