Coco Gauff is about to step onto the court at Wimbledon. But the headlines have been entirely focused on an apology she recently received—one she accepted, but her fans strangely did not.

Honored that this "Old Favorite" of the late great Brian Agler resurfaced in today's Newsletter of Humorous Writings

Re-reading the piece, I was shocked to see we somehow predicted both the AI takeover *and* the Russia-Ukraine war in...2020?

These ones are my favorite. Made in Italy but I can only find them in Japanese stationary stores for some reason

As fires rage in southern California, I was shocked to learn that 4% of calls to fire departments are for actual fires
