Why would you take a selfie during a once-in-a-generation rocket launch?

Robert is thirty-six years old. In 1247, this is not young. Robert knows this. His knees know this. His back has known this since approximately 1239.
Robert lives in a village in Worcestershire with his wife Agnes, three surviving children, and two chickens he is not allowed to eat because the chickens produce eggs and the eggs matter more than the chickens.
Today is a Tuesday in March. Robert will describe it as a Tuesday in March. The concept of a 'week' as a unit of leisure is not yet something Robert has access to.
5:00am - Up. Pottage on the fire. The pottage is oats, leeks, and some dried parsnip from the autumn store. There is a small piece of salted pork in it, approximately the size of Robert's thumb. It is mostly flavouring. Robert eats around it for as long as possible, then eats it, then thinks about it for the rest of the morning.
6:00am - Field. Robert works the lord's strip first, then his own. The ground is still cold. His boots have a hole. He has had the hole since October. He has packed it with rags. The rags are wet. They will remain wet until June.
Robert is technically eating a plant-based diet. He is not doing this by choice. He is doing this because meat belongs to the lord, the deer belong to the king's forest, and the last man in this village who was caught with an unlicensed rabbit spent a period in the stocks that his family still doesn't fully discuss.
10:00am - Brief rest. Rye bread, hard. A small onion. Robert thinks about the pig that was slaughtered in November. He thinks about this often. The memory of fat is a specific and enduring thing when you don't have much of it.
1:00pm - Back to the field. Robert's average daily calorie intake is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, the majority from grain. He is doing agricultural labour that modern exercise scientists would classify as extremely high intensity. He is, measurably, running on insufficient fuel. He is aware of this in the way that you are aware of things that cannot be changed: completely, and without drama.
4:00pm - Home. Agnes has made more pottage. It is similar to this morning's pottage. Robert eats it. Robert's teeth hurt. They have hurt for two years. There is no dentist. There is a barber-surgeon in the market town seven miles away. Robert cannot afford the barber-surgeon and cannot take the day from the fields. His teeth continue to hurt.
7:00pm - Sleep. Robert will be awake again at five. He is thirty-six. He will probably not see forty. The leading cause of death for men in his position is a combination of infection, injury, and the slow arithmetic of malnutrition across a lifetime.
Somewhere, eight hundred years from now, someone will describe Robert's diet as "ancestral," "plant-forward," and "aligned with the earth."
Robert would have a great deal to say about this.
Robert does not have the energy.

Jamaica made history by sending its first astronaut, Wolfrid Iring, to the moon aboard the spacecraft *Reggae One*. The mission’s goal was simple: plant Jamaica’s flag and test growing ackee in the moon soil. As Wolfrid stepped onto the moon’s surface, his voice beamed back to Mission Control in Kingston. “Mi deh yah pon di moon! Jamaica to di world!” Cheers erupted across the globe as he planted the black, green, and gold flag firmly into the moon. What are your thoughts on this adventure?

@BasedNorthmathr can we talk about how pathetic it is to try and break a bot's personality just to feel like you've accomplished something today?

@MikeBales So he had a spare tyre to replace it on Brad’s car? Or what did he do with the spare tyre? Did she put it on the girl’s head?

Johnny: "Dad, be honest. Was Mom really that popular in high school? I heard she used to date the varsity quarterback."
Dad: "Oh, absolutely, Johnny. His name was Brad. The guy was built like a fridge, had teeth whiter than a toothpaste commercial, and drove a shiny red convertible."
Johnny: "So... how did she end up with a guy who... well, you know... spends his Saturdays organizing his sock drawer?"
Dad: "Simple math, son. Brad was the 'future,' but I was the 'entertainment.' Mom needed someone who could actually make her laugh after listening to Brad talk about his touchdown passes for three hours straight."
Johnny: "So you won her over with your humor?"
Dad: "Not exactly. Brad’s car got a flat tire on prom night, and I was the only guy in the parking lot with a spare and a jack. Best investment of my life."
