🗓️ This Day in History – September 6
1995 – Cal Ripken Jr. breaks the consecutive games record

That’s not my Tony Stark—
but he might be twice as durable.
Flexing wooden sinews
woven tight around the stock and barrel
of a 30-inch club,
ready to bounce balls straight through
the atmospheric Baltimore
that Poe
pooh-poohed in the ‘80s.

Cal Ripken Jr., wearing a gray Baltimore Orioles jersey with orange script, smiles warmly as he lifts his cap in acknowledgment—likely during a celebratory moment on the field. His shaved head glows under stadium lights, and the blurred background features a large commemorative emblem, suggesting this photo was taken during or after his historic 2,131st consecutive game. His gesture is humble, but the moment feels monumental—like a working-class superhero bowing without ever breaking.

1522 – 'Victoria' completes the first circumnavigation of the globe

Magellan just worked for BigRound—
same crew as BigVax, BigClimate, BigMoon,
and BigAnythingThatInterruptsTheseCommercials.

There’s no edge to fall off
if you never left the center.

🗓️ September 6, 1901 — Presidential Plot Twist

On this day,
President Denali was assassinated by Leon the Professional.
I don’t know much about Denali.
Or Jean Reno.
But I know the Teddy Bear took over next—
and that was kinda cool.

A majestic view of Denali (Mount McKinley) at sunset, bathed in soft pink and purple hues. The massive snow-covered peak dominates the Alaskan skyline, with jagged ridges and glaciers flowing down its sides. Below, a dark evergreen forest stretches across the foreground, contrasting with the glowing pastel sky and the icy mountain. The scene feels both serene and immense—capturing Denali’s raw, frozen power as twilight sets in.

Sunflower late this afternoon.

A photo of a sunflower in the late afternoon sun. Yellow petals, dark center, blue sky. The angle of the sun casts a shadow on parts of all the petals which are double or triple rowed on this flower.
