The Short List
 
Saturday, June 20

Welcome to summer, Short List friends. Yes, we've basically skipped spring entirely.

Today's the longest day of the year — the summer solstice. Technically it's the day with the most ~daylight~ because every "day" has 24 hours. But nobody has time for those nerdy specifications (just kidding, we love nerds).

Debatably more important than the official start of summer: It's Father's Day weekend!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, especially mine who's all the way in Hawaii (miss you, dad!). Haven't got your dad a gift yet? Don't panic! These gifts don't require shipping

Now, shall we dive into some long reads?

The protest was organized to demonstrate against the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25, sparking demonstrations and riots around the country.
