Well, yes (1). Well, yes (2). Possibly the most adorable coming out story ever. Basic income is having a moment. Dream house of the week. Internet conspiracy theory of the week. Oops. Tiny graphics on stamps! Neil Gaiman's hysterically funny Tumblr. (Via Elizabeth.) In election coverage: Still unequal. On planes: Still unequal. Here: Not quite as unequal (and almost enough to drive me to Facebook [but not quite]). All grown up (with a touch of equality to boot). Bonus: Cheating on lead testing in (at least) 33 cities. Find yours!

A reminder of why Hillary. How the radio soap I've followed all my life is changing policy. "Don't complain. Create." A smart way to look at the refugee human crisis. On uniforms. Vermont's food trucks of summer. Organizing to treat accidental overdoses. The army that Hitler forgot. Do you miss Serial? Listen to this. (And the follow-ups!) What's wrong with American grocery stores. Bernie, ever kvetching. (Via Elizabeth.) The personal is the political. Finally, an app I'll pay for.

When good pins go bad. On representational justice. "She knows the risk, and she did it anyway." Gorgeous, interesting public art. (Via.) An interesting argument for actually doing something about climate change. Jonathan Freedland on the worldwide rage against the machine. Speaking doubt to power. On architecture for everyone. Fueling my atomic obsession. Not funny. Thank God, the cult of Martha is alive and well. Samantha Bee on the religious right. Aaaaaaaaaaand...Nate Silver on how he blew the Trump thing.

It's about time, holy crap edition. For transit geeks (with thanks to Elizabeth). For my colleagues: When to fire a client. Even if you only read the headline.... A delightful little niche museum. Stripping discrimination bare. C'mon, stick your neck out. (Also with thanks to Elizabeth.) Funniest (and saddest) thing I've read in a very long time. I'm all over this. Is that why the Capitol's deserted? Acknowledging that we're part of the racist culture... (Via.) ...and confronting our racism. (Yet again, with thanks to Elizabeth.) "In the real world, it pays not to be an insensitive, judgmental prick."

Very bad news, especially for those of us who learned at the feet of Steve Jenkins. Who is Melania Trump? Awwwwwwwwwwwww. (With thanks to Elizabeth.) Wish I were part of this trip. Oh HELL yes. Fascinating! Cue the Star Trek theme. "The ultimate first-world problem lawsuit." Shades of my youth! My new favorite color. A sad state of affairs. Thank you (again), David Bowie. (Via.) Dream farm of the week.
