CrankyYank Vol. 55 is moved to tomorrow—for various reasons I won’t bore you with! Here’s what I’m working on:
• Journalism & Media: The “Journalism Matters” meme, stemming from a Fox News tweet that questioning authority is “anti-trump rhetoric.”

• Sustainability: With a big h/t to my buddy Troy Osinoff, Cheerios will send you 500 wildflower seeds if you join them in helping to save the honeybees.
• Politics: “Spicey Goes Shopping.” Sean Spicer visited an Apple Store recently. It didn’t go well.
• Television: I’ll present to you “‘Homeland’ in six tweets, including my prescription for injecting life in the flagging series.
And much more! As always, please share widely and comment often. More soon. ❏
