My next cell phone? 🤔🤔🤔

Justine Haupt, a developer of astronomy instrumentation at Brookhaven National Laboratory, spent the last three years developing a device that strips away all of the non-phone functions of modern smartphones. The Portable Wireless Electronic Digital Rotary Telephone (aka Rotary Cellphone) does not h

Hi all! Paul's daughter Grace here again. Here are some of the articles I was referencing today on my dad's show. Happy reading!

If You're Surprised by How the Police are Acting, You Don't Understand US History: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/05/police-us-history-reform-violence-oppression

Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect You: https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/justices-rule-police-do-not-have-a-constitutional-duty-to-protect.html

Hi all. This is Paul's daughter Grace writing to you. I want to reach out and urge you all to make yourselves informed and aware of the current situation happening in our country. I encourage you to do your part to support the Black Lives Matter movement, and support the protesters who are simply asking for their right to live. We cannot look away from this. Now is the time to have tough conversations with your loved ones, to sit in your discomfort, to acknowledge our privilege and acknowledge the struggles of black people. It is our job to show up for them and to support them in any way we possibly can. Riots only happen when peaceful protests don't work. Peaceful protests only happen when "talking it out" doesn't work. Talking it out hasn't worked because the other side refuses to listen. Please, think about what brought us all to this point - think about our country's long history of oppression and systematic racism. As a white person, I will never understand the struggles of black people. I will never experience racism on any level. That is an incredible privilege. The best thing for me to do, the best thing for many of YOU to do, is to listen and learn from black people, and to donate to the cause.

Thank you for reading. Be well. Do the right thing.
- Grace

A short story from Joyce Carol Oates regarding Earth Day in 2169. My big brother Rich brought this outstanding piece of literature to my attention. Takes about 12 to 15 minutes to read.

In a new work of fiction, the author presents the world as it might be in 2169.

One of Agent 21's spawn recently graduated from the College of the Holy Cross. He edited the only face that REALLY matters onto all of his classmates visages. A grand tribute indeed.

Here's an interview with one of my favorite historical writers/novelists. I think he raises a number of good points we can ALL learn a little something from.

The two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and long-time Camden resident has published a series of speeches called 'The American Spirit: Who We Are and What We Stand For.'

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, but I couldn't pass this up. As I'm sure you are, I remain shocked and chagrined to find our astronauts consuming JIF peanut butter. Heresy. I bet the Russians snuck that on board. (I was going to say "along with seventeen cases of vodka"... but I had the good sense not to... but then I figured, why not? I'm not running for Selectmen in North Attleboro.)

While on-board the International Space Station, NASA astronaut and Expedition 50 commander Robert Shane Kimbrough demonstrates how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in space. Astronauts on…
