In the United States, today is Memorial Day, when we remember the people who gave their lives in service to their country. The weather here in Maryland has been damp and surprisingly cool, which perhaps fits with the somber nature of today's observance. Here are some things going on:
From Voice Of Europe, Dutch MP Geert Wilders calls on the U.K. to release Tommy Robinson.

And from Yahoo News, the man who swam across the Atlantic will try to swim across the Pacific. (If this doesn't deserve the "badass" label, I don't know what does.)
