Meet Backpack, your 2026 Fat Bear Week champion. Backpack is 20 years old, weighs about 1,000 pounds and got his nickname because, as a cub, he loved riding on his mom's back across the Brooks River.

I gasped! The Mighty Sparrow has left us. One of the most important and popular Calypsonians to ever do it! Songs filled political fire, irreverence, humor, naughty (very, very naughty) banter, and beats that make you wind your waist! Rest in Power, Sparrow. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/a...

The Mighty Sparrow, Trinidadian Titan of Calypso, Is Dead at 91
He was sometimes described as the last of the true calypso singers. But in fact he simultaneously preserved calypso tradition and invented it anew.

I’m comforted by the accuracy
Screenshot of a pen-and-ink drawing of three siren figures - humanoid heads, chests, arms and stomachs, bird feathers and wings at the waist and duck-like bottoms with webbed feet, one figure with a robust fish-like tail from a blue abdomen - tinted with body color and translucent washes. The text says “SIREN - You’re charming & tricky.”

In my youth, I was fascinated by undergraduate degrees in the UK (and Italy, IIRC) being 3 years of study, but in the US it’s a minimum of 4 (5 years for a Bachelor of Architecture).

How Paris, New York and Tokyo are all moving away from car-centric urban planning
In a study presented on September 9, the Paris Urban Planning Workshop analyzed how residents in seven major cities have been getting around over the past 20 years. The profound transformation of public space has given rise to new practices: residents walk, cycle and take public transport more.

This is where a large portion of the design & construction experienced talent of this country (the ordinary folks, not the starchitects) is being siphoned off to - from museums & schools to “mission critical facilities” & hyperscalers.

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

You ever think about the fact that Puritanism set the tone of what it means to be an American (home, church, work, law) but most of us are not Puritans - in fact several of us, including the actual living Pope, are Roman Catholic?

The thing about *everything wrong today* is that the government did this to us. Using our laws & our money. On purpose. In less than 2 years. So they know how to write and deploy impactful policy. They just chose… this.

“Just over a day ago, the storm had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph… more than tripled over a relatively short period of time and may not be done. … typical… rapid intensification is an increase of at least 35 miles per hour in less than a day. That definition seems inadequate…”
