We’re taking Trail Mix Live to Black Lives Matter Plaza & Lafayette Park for the No Kings Early Vote Rally, part of 2,500 events planned nationwide. Real people, real opinions, no pundit panels. And you can join the conversation!
AT A NO KINGS EVENT IN YOUR TOWN? Come on camera or microphone, show us your crowd, or report what you’re seeing in the chat. Katie will hold down the studio while I roam the streets.
October 17 is No Kings: Vote Early, a nationwide day of action focused on helping people check their registration, make a voting plan, and cast ballots early where available. Find an event in your neighborhood at nokings.org
October is here. Month number ten, wearing a name that means eight. The Romans left us a calendar with some bookkeeping issues.
We’re welcoming it with an original song and a calendar keeper who has some explaining to do. Our familiar cast of gods joins the festivities. Apparently, even immortals enjoy a musical number. Watch Here.
And if you’ve ever wondered who put Thor in Thursday or Frigg in Friday, meet the characters behind the names in our “Who Named Our Days?” video collection.
Our young insurgent faces the defending Fat Bear Week champion today.
I ate salmon last night to get properly stoked for today’s vote. Bucky and I are now brothers in fish—although he prefers his raw and still struggling.
Bear 164 Bucky faces defending champion Bear 32 Chunk. Chunk disappeared from Brooks River for much of the summer, then returned enormous and expecting another term. Classic incumbent.
Bucky earned his bulk in public. Only about nine years old, he pioneered a difficult fishing spot in the plunge pool beneath Brooks Falls. He catches salmon rising from below, leaping through the air and falling from above. Nobody else fishes there consistently.
Fat Bear Week accompanies the Otis Fund, supporting Katmai National Park through education, research, bear monitoring and the cameras that let us watch these magnificent gluttons enjoy their salmon. Voting is free; donations are separate.
Friday began with robots doing the cha-cha and ended with Lizzie Borden demanding a retrial. This is what happens when nobody supervises the menu.
Robot Cha-Cha of Doom
First the robots learn to dance. Then they learn to open doors. By Tuesday, they’re changing the locks and explaining that the house has always belonged to them. — Watch the Cha-Cha robots rehearse humanity’s exit
Lizzie Borden Takes the Stand
Then Lizzie Borden arrived, carrying 132 years of bad publicity and, according to the jury, no axe at all. Did she commit the murders—or did history simply choose the suspect with the best rhyme? We reopen the famously circumstantial case and launch our new segment, Trail Mix True Crime. — Watch Digital Diner True Crime
