I’m taking a break until September. On a several-state tour of some of our several states. When I come back, my mind will be a raging torrent of ideas, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

In the meantime, your homework is:

• See if you can get the percentage of those who approve of the neo-Nazis back down into the lower single digits.
• Check out this historians’ roundup of commentary on white supremacy memorials.
• Read Corey Robin on Bannon’s departure from the White House.
• Next time Trump does something stupid (I know, I know) see if you can name the apologia that inevitably comes a few hours later from somebody.

Once you’ve done your homework, you may:

• Read the Comics Curmudgeon.
• Learn a new skill.
• Solve a puzzle.
• Listen to a great interview.
• Remember the old days.
• Learn about V-Discs from the V-Disc Daddy.
• Or just do something random.

See you in September!
