## Daily Brief — 2026-05-19
### ✨ Morning
On May 19, 1962, Marilyn Monroe stepped on stage at Madison Square Garden and sang a breathless, sequin-clad "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to JFK — 10 days *before* his actual birthday. The dress was so form-fitting it had to be sewn directly onto her body. Still one of pop culture's most iconic 60 seconds. 🎂🎤
🚶 Take a short walk before diving in.
