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 know that there are a number of excellent books that have been written about How We Got Here, and being of a historian type I should take in that information; but does any of that tell us how to make people stop being shitheads *now*?

when they say "have difficulties with deciding on a premise," remember that Muppets Studio and Point Grey already *came up with* a premise, then made a successful pilot based on that. this post should actually read "Disney does not believe simply doing THE MUPPET SHOW will work for some reason"

We have been working on getting several of our prints restored and remounted. On the back of a fairly normal view of York we found this. Everyone, meet buff Satan.
We are looking at a black and white print of Satan watching the sleep of Christ in the wilderness of temptation. A poorly looking Jesus is laying on what must be a very uncomfortable rock so how he is managing to sleep is beyond us. On a larger rock looming over Jesus is a naked Satan who has never skipped a day at the gym in Hell. He has a robe draped over parts of him but it's not covering much. He has some very large feathered wings, a crown of fire and long curly locks.

✉️ Explore 145,000 medieval merchant letters as a live map: the correspondence network of Francesco di Marco Datini (c.1363–1412), spanning Florence to Barcelona to North Africa. Visualise routes, travel times & seasonality. docuracy.github.io/datini/ #DigitalHumanities #MedievalHistory
A dark-themed interactive map of the medieval western Mediterranean showing 14th-century merchant letter routes as curved arcs coloured from cyan (fast, 0–5 days) through yellow to red (30+ days). Short land routes between Tuscan cities glow cyan; longer sea routes to Barcelona and Majorca burn orange and red, revealing the unpredictability of medieval maritime travel.
(299 characters)
 
Long (accessible description for screen readers / figure caption):
Screenshot of the Datini Letters Geospatial Explorer in Travel Time mode. A dark basemap of the western Mediterranean is overlaid with curved arc lines connecting pairs of cities in the Datini merchant network. Arc colour encodes average letter delivery time on a gradient from cyan (near-instant, 0–5 days) through green and yellow (one to two weeks) to orange and deep red-magenta (more than 30 days). Dense clusters of fast cyan arcs radiate from Florence and Pisa across Tuscany, reflecting the reliable day-or-two land post. Arcs reaching westward to Barcelona, Valencia, and Palma de Majorca shift to orange and red, capturing the slower and far more variable sea routes that could take anywhere from a week to several months. City nodes are shown as circles: pink for the main Datini fondacos (Pisa, Florence, Barcelona, Genoa, Valencia, Majorca) and blue for correspondent cities. A sidebar on the left shows the Travel Time mode is selected, with a cyan-to-red colour legend and a filter slider for minimum letters per route.

You ever think about how the Mafia boss in The Rocketeer has higher ethical standards than everyone who attended the WHCD
The Mafia boss from 1991's cinematic masterpiece, The Rocketeer. He's yelling at a Nazi: "It matters to me. I may not make an honest buck, but I'm 100% American, and I don't work for no two-bit Nazi." Then he teams up with the FBI to fight Nazis and it's awesome.
