Every morning, I revisit my blog headlines from this date, going back 25 years, 20 years, 15 years, 10 years, 5 years, and one year. I publish the most interesting ones in a section of my newsletter that I call "object permanence," and I think it's the most useful part of my day.

A moody, silhouetted Trojan horse, with a glowing horse skeleton partially visible inside it. It is acrawl with 1950s pulp robots. It stands in a psychedelic mist, through which peek vivid, brightly colored flowers.
