Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Imagine if Elon gave even a fraction of his wealth like Dolly did—to help people read, to get a leg up, to help combat racism, to help science, etc. Be a Dolly in a sea of tech dude bros with names like Elon.

New: I wrote about everyone intently watching the long process of removing Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center and how it revealed our insatiable thirst for accountability — and for his humiliation.

The night the letters came down

A marathon livestream of Trump's name being removed from the Kennedy Center was a rare moment of monoculture.

In September, a box of old film reels was donated to the Library's National Audio-Visual Conservation Center. One of them was a nearly 130-year-old, long-lost film by iconic French filmmaker George Méliès. It had not been seen by anyone in likely more than a century. 🧵 blogs.loc.gov/loc/2026/02/...
