The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Reynolds' favorite punctuation mark was the comma.
“Drury Lane, and Covent Garden, were almost forgotten in the performances at Richmond House; and...were considered, by crowded, and fashionable audiences, equal, if not superior, to Kemble, Lewis, Mrs. Siddons, and the present Countess of Derby.”

First up, politician John Wilkes' self-own, as recounted by playwright Frederick Reynolds:
“That he required a fortnight to talk away his face” (qtd 20)--apparently didn't stop his popularity with the ladies, however.

Historian snark to lighten your timeline:
“Mrs. Wells of Covent Garden was always always in the news. She was certainly better known to readers of newspapers than any other performer, for there was hardly a day they were not called upon to weep over her latest misfortune.”

This morning my almost-3-year-old gathered up a bunch of hangers and put them on a doorknob. When his dad—a notorious punster—asked what they were doing, kiddo said "just hanging out”

I'm trying to identify a late 18th-century woman writer (probably a poet) whose surname was BURNET (listed in a text from 1786 alongside Jane Graham, A-L Barbauld, Hannah Moore, Anna Seward, Hannah Cowley).
Anyone know who this might be?
