The first U.S. Labor Day celebration took place in New York City on Sept. 5, 1882,
with 10,000 marchers.
In 1894, President Cleveland signed a congressional act establishing the first Monday of September as a legal holiday,
which has become known for promotional sales as well as a day off for many.
The holiday has particular resonance in Southern California,
where the labor movement remains large in numbers and powerful in political influence.

Q: What is your typical day like as an art handler?
A: There’s a lot of variety. Specifically in a museum like this. We’re not only installing the art and changing out works when necessary. As an art handler, we’re shipping out, receiving and unpacking crates and going through the process of installing the shows.

Degrowth Gathering – Building the UK movement
Saturday, 17 October, 9:30-5.00 Degrowth is both a transformative movement and a critical framework, aiming to ensure social justice and well-being for all, with human activities being in alignment with ecological limits. However, degrowth in the UK currently exists as an informal network rather than a cohesive movement. This one-day event will bring together those with an interest in working on degrowth in the UK.

Trump’s problem-plagued effort to revamp the landmark reflecting pool has stretched well past his initial goal of having the Pool ready by July 4 for the nation’s 250th birthday.

Just finished reading @alvartheo.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy's novel Benothinged all in one day. The protagonist is a mourning British ace enby with autism and depression and the story gets way dark with all the problems one might face with all those things, but it gets it, too. Really gets how hard it can be and takes you there and asks, "OK, what now?" And it does it all with a horror twist.
I bought it as a ebook from the publisher's site months ago, knowing my bookclub was reading it this month. I wish I could tell you all where to get your copy, but the publisher's site closed. It's worth the effort to find it on ebay or if you're in the UK, you might be able to find it in the shops.

Examining the stellar-merger origin of the blue main sequence in the open cluster NGC\,3532 with N-body simulations
Khushboo K. Rao (Institute of Astronomy, National Central University, 300 Zhongda Road, Zhongli 32001 Taoyuan, Taiwan), Sambaran Banerjee (Helmholtz-Instituts f\"ur Strahlen- und Kernphysik)
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.18681 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.18681 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.18681
arXiv:2607.18681v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Extended main-sequence turnoffs, extended main sequences, and split main sequences observed in the colour-magnitude diagrams of young and intermediate-age star clusters are now widely interpreted as the consequence of a distribution of stellar rotation rates among their intermediate-mass (1.5-1.8~M$_\odot$) members. However, the origin of the slowly rotating population that occupies the blue main sequence (bMS) remains uncertain, and stellar mergers have been proposed as one possible pathway. We investigate whether stellar mergers can account for the observed bMS population in the 330-Myr Galactic open cluster NGC 3532. We perform fourteen direct NBODY7 simulations spanning different initial cluster masses, radii, binary fractions, and binary orbital distributions. The simulations are selected to reproduce the present-day properties of NGC 3532 within the observational uncertainties, allowing us to estimate the expected number of merger products among its intermediate-mass main-sequence (MS) members. The cluster hosts $\approx 37\%$ bMS members among its intermediate-mass MS population, which are predominantly slow rotators. Despite this large bMS population, our simulations produce only a handful of MS-MS merger products, due to the cluster's low density and substantial mass loss during its evolution. Stellar mergers are unlikely to be the dominant formation channel for the observed slowly rotating bMS population in NGC 3532 and other disperse open clusters. Our results instead favour angular-momentum loss mechanisms operating before or shortly after the zero-age main sequence, such as pre-main-sequence star-disk interactions or tidal synchronization in low-mass ratio binaries.
