Writers with time and talent are rarely representative. Treat them as precious exceptions, not typical citizens. It's humbling and it keeps your models honest.

🏵️ On Learning About Cultures From Stories

On stone gods, internet monsters, and the cultural practices that aren't quite what we think when we think of religion... but aren't exactly not, either.

A reader emailed asking for updates to my Time To Statham Punch site so I added his recent films plus leaned on Claude for a better UI/layout.

Time to Statham Punch

How long into each Jason Statham film before he throws his first punch? The definitive TTSP dataset.

Figured I’d see what Claude had to say about it (given this weeks wacko over Mythos). ;)

Hopefully we get some sort of “Iran Deal” 🤷🏼 Remind us: who tore up the last one again?

This is nuts and amazing.

Did not know someone bought the actual home that was the establishing shot for The Brady Bunch and then renovated it to make the interior — and yard — a full replica of the show.

And yes, I too remember this house better than I remember many of my own.

Here’s the Story of the Brady Bunch House

While only its exterior ever appeared in “The Brady Bunch,” stepping into the real-life Brady house now is like going back in time. Here’s a look.

One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.

Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service

Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution.

He is firing 55,000 people.
He wants it all to burn.

I was asked if On This Day registers a url scheme.
And of course it does:

You can open the app with this url:

I enjoyed watching this 1970s, British documentary on the changing print shop and new ways of text composition.

There is a great deal of discussion about how to transition to new technologies *without* losing jobs.

I suggest starting at 6:10 and watch for a few minutes to see the switch from Monotype hot-metal to Linotype-Paul computerized equipment: https://youtu.be/L56BkG19594?si=6NXZH_O8og7QvqfF&t=370
