Terrific piece for #LaborDay. “…let us honor those who power our country with the sweat of their brows and the exertion of their bodies.” @DanRather
"Labor comes in many forms. And society depends on all of it. The diversity of our labor is one of our core strengths, like the diversity of our populace." Some thoughts on Labor Day in our Steady Newsletter. open.substack.com/pub/steady…

The Moon is doing the most: It's a Super Blue Moon!
So-called "super" because it's slightly closer to Earth and "blue" because it's the second full moon in a month. It peaks at 9:36pm ET on Aug. 30 (0136 UTC on Aug. 31).
Details & other sky highlights: go.nasa.gov/3qU6qqV
ALT This image of the Moon was taken on Aug. 18, 2016, by NASA astronaut Jeff Williams during Expedition 48 on the International Space Station. The Moon appears full in the top right corner of the image over the white swirling clouds of the Earth below. The sky is a gradient in the background, starting as a soft blue color in the lower portion of the image, and fading softly to black behind the Moon. Credit: NASA

No one encapsulates exactly *how it is* better than the indomitable @DanRather: “An indictment of all who validated his vile indulgences, whitewashed his wantonness, disguised his depravity, legitimized his lawlessness, and acquiesced to his autocracy.”

Absolutely worth reading. As much as we'd like to see justice be done in this case the fact remains. We will be dealing with the fallout of this mess for years to come.
