The robot overlords are coming. . . with your food?
On this Father's Day, as we celebrate Juneteenth, it's a great time to not only recognize the newest federal holiday, but also — if you don't know the history behind Juneteenth — spend some time to learn about why it is such an important day for Americans.
Writer Shaylah Brown has a wonderful story explaining all that and more. You can also read up on efforts to avoid the commercialization of Juneteenth — something that has happened to President's Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc. etc. etc.
We should also, of course, recognize fathers — and if they aren't planning to fire up the grill today, perhaps take them out for a nice meal.
Food writer Rebecca King has picked a wide variety of places to take pop to this afternoon and evening.
You can also dig into father-related theater, as Jim Beckerman did in this illuminating story.
And this story is just too good to pass up: robot waiters. Yes, that's a thing now.
Enjoy this day, check out more stories below, and thank you for subscribing!
