Have you seen The Walking Dead Prop Collection? It's a collab between AMC and Mini Museum to share fragments of real props with fans around the world. What's in it? Well, we don't want to brag but... Well, just have a look. 👀

The world of The Walking Dead changed television forever. Now fans can own authentic screen-used elements from the series through an official collection of collector cards, display pieces, and wearable relics. 11 Seasons. One Collection.

It’s #SunDay#! Here’s your space weather report for the week of May 15 - 21: • 4 M-class flares • 3 C-class flares • 35 coronal mass ejections • 1 geomagnetic storm This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows the week’s activity. It was a fairly calm week on the Sun. A coronal mass ejection last week reached Earth on May 15, triggering a minor geomagnetic storm and leading to aurora sightings across the northern U.S. On May 20, SDO's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) paused normal science operations for a series of routine calibration maneuvers — measurements that keep the instrument's magnetic field and Doppler velocity data scientifically accurate. You can see these maneuvers starting at about 2:29 in the video. Learn more about space weather:

Legislation is really hard to move, but all the pieces are there to move Clarity forward. I covered last week’s bipartisan committee vote, what’s next, and my odds for passage with @PaulBarronTV.

Your great great grandma helping the war effort by sliding into some poor soldier’s DMs who’s stuck on some god-forsaken island in the Pacific where all he does is sweat like a pig and gas up planes three times a week during the big war.

1943 Soviets: 8 million tons of steel+ 90 million tons of coal = 48,000 heavy artillery pieces, 24,000 tanks Germany: 30 million tons of steel+ 340 million tons of coal into 27,000 heavy guns and 17,000 tanks. And they talk about efficient Germans and wasteful communists.

This is one of the more insightful things I've read this week: "By the late 1930s [the Germans] had developed the weapons that would in the main be used to fight the Second World War.....When the war came they tried to speed the process of development up, to win the war with the weapons of the 1950s. The result was a technical disaster: shortages of resources, constant political interference, the inherent difficulty of accelerating research work at the forefront of science, all meant that German forces got little in terms of performance from the new weapons to match the great expense of producing them. The Allies...stuck with the weapons of the late 1930s, and pushed them successfully to their limits, in most cases overtaking the performance of Germany's most conventional weaponry. When after the war they came to develop missiles, jets, advanced submarine technology, and a host of other vanguard equipment, they simply took German scientists and blueprints."
