Everything Everywhere Daily - Questions and Answers: Volume 20

The month of July is named after Julius Caesar. In 44 BC, after his assassination, the Roman Senate renamed the month of Quintilis after him in honor of the month he was born.

The fact that he was appointed dictator for life probably had something to do with it. 

All the emperors that came later never changed it, so instead of Quintilis, we have July. 

So stay tuned for the Quintilis episode of questions and answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Bulwark Podcast - Clint Smith: A Reckoning with History

Author, poet, and native New Orleanian Clint Smith grew up in the city that was the heart of the domestic slave trade, but realized his understanding of the history within himself and his country was inadequate. So he set out to write the type of book he should have had in high school. On this Independence Day, we pulled a special selection from the Tim Miller Bulwark archive. Plus, love for the Crescent City, and dads getting too much credit for pulling their weight.
