This always should have been the end goal, an autonomous bulletproof T-top with a yoke that runs on a Star Trek warp core and has the supportive and nurturing AI brain of Mr. Feeney. Also, ejector seat.

I do remember at one point around hour 6 thinking “why the fuck am I still here” but maybe I’m just not built for it.

One of the 84 roundabouts I have to tow a trailer through every day was backed up as usual and everyone was zippering in just fine and then a cybertruck wouldn’t let me in. I’ve never been so close to felonious crash out.

This had me laughing out loud. Well done.
A Facebook post from Kate Penney Howard. It reads “Beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Microsoft Publisher.

And before we begin, I ask that you silence your phones, bow your heads, and make sure you have selected “Print on both sides. Flip on short edge.”  Because even in death, Publisher will have half this program upside down.

Can I get a print preview?
Thank you.

Publisher was a faithful servant. When the church needed a bulletin, Publisher answered. When the family needed a reunion program, Publisher answered. When somebody said, “Can we fit all seventeen announcements on one page and still leave room for a dove?”
Publisher said, “With God, all things are possible. With eight-point font, most things will fit.”

It took ordinary people and made them believe they were graphic designers.
They were not.  But it gave them confidence.
And sometimes, church, confidence is all that stands between a blank page and six competing fonts.

Let us remember its ministry.
The bake-sale flyer. The funeral program. The pastor's anniversary poster.  The graduation invitation featuring a photograph stretched beyond all anatomical possibility.
Publisher never said, “That’s too much WordArt.”
Publisher said, “Would you like a shadow?”
“Would you like a bevel?”
“Would you like this entire Scripture passage shaped like a wave?””The Facebook post continues: “And somebody said yes. Somebody in this very room.  We will not call names at a funeral.   But somebody said yes.

Now, I know there are those who say, “You can just use Word.”  Beloved.  We are grieving. Please do not provoke us.  We have all moved a photograph one-quarter inch in Microsoft Word and watched an entire document leave the will of God.  The picture went to page seven. The heading went to page three. A blank page appeared that no prayer could remove.

But Publisher understood a simple truth:
When I put something somewhere, that is where I want it to stay.

Somebody ought to stand up for that.
Now they tell us to move to Canva.
And Canva is lovely. We wish Canva well.
But some of us do not need a brand journey. We need the fish fry to start at six, the address to fit under the fish, and the fish to be free.
We do not need a little crown appearing on the fish after we have already built the whole flyer around it.  The fish has been called to serve. Why is it premium?

Publisher is survived by thousands of .pub files, a folder called “Church Stuff,” and a woman who has been saying, “Do not touch that computer; it has the newsletter on it,” since 2009.
It leaves behind unfinished brochures, beloved templates, and a document named:
Bulletin_FINAL_Updated_REALFINAL_USETHISONE2.pub”The Facebook post concludes: “We ask that you respect the family’s privacy as they determine which version contains the correct hymn numbers.

And to Microsoft, seated here on the front row:
We appreciate the flowers.
We would have appreciated continued support more.
But this is a funeral, and I have been asked to keep my remarks appropriate.

So rest now, Publisher.
Your text boxes are aligned.
Your margins are even.
Your images are embedded.
You have fought the good fight. You have finished the newsletter. You have kept the clip art.

And when you reach those pearly gates, if Saint Peter asks whether you have anything to declare, tell him:  “I brought the program.”
Amen. And amen.

Please assemble in the the fellowship hall. Please disregard the flyer that says fellowship hell.
Spellcheck was never its strongest ministry.”The Facebook post ends with the last Microsoft Publisher logo in the Find a Grave website.

A Carvana truck with a Ford Ecosport parks in front of a tidy little house with a picket fence. The hydraulic ramp begins to deploy. An Army chaplain steps out and solemnly walks toward the young mother standing at the screen door. She collapses.

If you own 20+ flashlights, at a certain point you're probably running an unregistered lighthouse but we're not the lighthouse safety commission so keep up the good work.
