Sitting in a bagel shop, and I suspect the music is a Heated Rivalry playlist. No one in 2025 just happens to be extremely into Feist all of a sudden.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

Different publisher, obviously, but I can't help thinking about how many paperback copies of Heated Rivalry would have sold if it had had the same timely attention as this pile of garbage.
I'm going to guess more than 1200.

In the tenth century a charm to control a bee swarm was added, upside down, in the margin of an earlier mss. It's one of the earliest Old High German texts. Tim Hertogh argues in recent article it was intended as an amulet to cut out & place in a hive - explaining the margins excised elsewhere.👇

Any time some guy starts blathering about his plan to colonize Mars or whatever, I just mentally substitute, "move all the world's fruit and vegetable production to Antarctica." Which is just as foolish, but infinitely more plausible.

Gemini’s ability to read handwritten archival documents has importance beyond the humanities. It opens new frontiers for scientific research and collaboration with the humanities.
