And, @motherjones.com, this isn't news. You're propping up an exploitative content scheme.

It's fodder for her podcast/youtube/whatever. It's all cash-grab horseshit. Isn't this the Charlie Kirk playbook? Challenge young people half your age with insincere, incendiary statements, capture it all on camera, post online with "think pieces," and $ell ads? Troll nonsense.

Super rare chance to go see some non-Peanuts originals by Schulz! His panel cartoon, Young Pillars, features a cast of teens and is still very funny.

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

i think we should all take a little break to chill out and draw a little Snoopy
A diagram showing how to draw Snoopy. I am having trouble figuring out how to describe the pictures so I will simply transcribe the text in the image.
1. Start with the slope of Snoopy's head
2. Finish Snoopy's head and add a curve for his ear.
3. Give Snoopy an eye, eyebrow, and collar.
4. Now he needs his nose, ear, and a smile!
5. Continue Snoopy's body and the shape of an arm.
6. Add marks for his paw, his spot, and tail.
7. Draw his feet and toes, and you're done!

We're getting close to $9 diesel in Sonoma County, California (admittedly a very expensive place to buy diesel in the best of circumstances). I'm starting to wonder when the gas stations will need to change their signs to add a digit to the prices.

I just liked this. #lookingforsomethingelse 📰 Milwaukee Journal, 1912 (Oops! I didn't get the citation, sorry)
Antarctic photographer/ explorer drawn for newspapers in 1912. In a line drawing with excellent crosshatch shading, a white man is bundled in heavy fur and skin coats, pants, and boots, operating a large box camera mounted on a tripod.

It was perfect for some reason. If you're a writer and love Annie Dillard's Writing Life, let me recommend her husband's book, First We Read, Then We Write, by Robert D. Richardson. It focuses on Emerson, but there are gems all the same.

... and learned they were married and had fallen in love through writing, so I immediately read everything else, and I fell in love too. I think Teaching A Stone to Talk was her final book for me to read, and I only read it last Christmas or the Christmas before while in Florida.

If you've never tried out an Annie Dillard book, do it. I've loved her for a long time. I read Pilgrim in HS, as assigned reading. Really liked it. Then I got into Robert D. Richardson's history writing ...

There's more than the strip. I've seen a letter he wrote to a fan in Feb. 1968 that basically said, I liked Star Trek too, but I'm sorry, I can't do something publicly to help bring the show back. I think people I don't want to upset would get mad at me.

If you're a professional historian in any capacity, you'll want to check this out. If you want to nerd out over behind-the-scenes nuts-and-bolts of *doing* history, this is also for you.
