Oh, I love this. What a brilliant way of illustrating how the arts, in addition to clarifying (and creating) our culture, open us up to new ideas and creative modes of thought.

That this guy turned out to be a quirky teenager is absolute perfection.
Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Truly my favorite thing in baseball. It’s so hilariously absurd.

In a time where almost all news is incredibly dumb, this might be the dumbest. I’ve been “Auntie Sarah” or “Aunt Sarah” to my friends’ kids and my cousins’ kids in addition to my official nephews. If Mamdani considers this woman his aunt, she’s his aunt. End of story.
In the final days of New York City’s mayoral race, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has faced pushback over a story he told about his aunt being afraid to wear her hijab while riding the subway after the September 11, 2001, attacks. https://cnn.it/432IAcr

Allies across the country, our letter tool has been updated as of this morning. Write to or call your members of Congress to tell them you want FEDERAL FORCES OUT OF DC: freedcproject.org/allies
For nearly two weeks straight Trump has escalated his attempt to take over DC. Federal agents are now violently profiling, harassing, and arresting Black and Brown DC community members and their presence is a severe danger to people here.
Join us today at 3 PM to demand FEDERAL FORCES OUT NOW.

Oh wow... I'm pretty sure I have a (nearly) complete set of SUNFIRE books stashed in my mom's attic. I'll have to dig them out next time I'm there. Maybe for a re-read, or maybe to sell, given the eBay price noted in this thread.
Today's HaBO, where we try to identify a book based on the scant memories of someone who read it, caused a reader to bring up the SUNFIRE books as a suggestion, and WOW did that take me back in time.

Tonight is one of those nights where I just shake my head in amazement that I’ve gotten to watch Ovi’s entire career, and be present for so many outstanding moments. What a time to be a hockey fan in general and Caps fan in particular. #Caps #TheGr8Chase
