Local legislator displays the importance of kerning

Fighter jets against the backdrop of a sky with the Idaho state flag and a quote that should say “everyone is an ally until they aren’t” but the spacing makes it look like it says “everyone is anally until they aren’t”

The passing of Daniel Naroditsky hits hard. He was a sweet soul, a wonderful chess teacher, and he’s gone much too soon. www.joeposnanski.com/p/daniel-nar...

Thank you so much, Elona. I'm doing well--down about 120 lbs. Ozempic/Zepbound have helped but I was on my way even before. Best of luck to your daughters. So glad the story found you. Hope the book helps.

My wife woke up with something similar. Change in the weather, maybe?

Really enjoyed this story on the Michigan-MSU punt miracle/fiasco, but they should've given @hollyanderson.bsky.social proper credit for "surrender cobra"

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

The one time I met Ace Frehley, he was in full Spaceman stage makeup and costume. Which, really, is how I'd want to remember him anyway. (It was backstage at MSG in 1996.) I wrote his obituary for the NY Times. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/a...
