📰 News we're reading
• Andrew Jackson's White House hosted a cheese feeding frenzy (popsci.com subscription) — A massive 19th-century cheddar that ended up at Andrew Jackson’s White House actually began on a dairy farm in Sandy Creek crafted by Colonel Thomas Meecham. The story traces how this local-made cheese became a legendary 1,400‑pound centerpiece of a chaotic public feast and explores how such giant cheeses age without poisoning the crowds who devour them.
