Noticed this on their website:
A screenshot of the Daily Beast's website referencing their "Core Ethical Standards" and claiming "We hold truth as our highest value. Our reporting is accurate, fact-based and rigorously researched. Our readers must be able to trust every word we write."

A light blue book with the title, “Take a Nap, Harry.” (By Mary Chalmers.) Harry, a small cat, sits upright on his simple bed while his mother stands at the foot of his bed. He looks wide awake. She is wearing a white apron and looks as if she might be suggesting he take a nap.

We are gathering images of readers for an exhibition at the Free Library in Philadelphia. Over the next few weeks, I'll post some from our publication of Harvey Finkle's photographs, which he took over the course of fifty years, and which are the inspiration for the show. #philly #readers
A man sits in the far right hand lower corner of a coffee shop. Above him and around him is a wall filled with posters and advertisements, so many that you might easily miss his presence. He is reading. Image is by Harvey Finkle, who has been photographing readers for more than fifty years.

In Philly, people are checking the list of rejected ballots and putting Post-it notes on doors. I could not love my city more.
Yellow post-it note on wooded door alerting voter that their vote was not counted and that they need to cure their ballot.

Me too. With help.

Picasso’s draft for a poem.
Musée National Picasso-Paris
Cream colored piece of writing paper with black handwriting. Many hashmarks and cross-outs show the writer’s revisions. This is a poem by Picasso, and it looks like exactly that somehow.

I saw this noble crow this morning in Paris and it made me think of the wonderful thread by @carlbergstrom.com that made me want to befriend one of these amazing creatures. Sadly, I had no snacks with me on my walk. Next time.
Black crow sits on the head of a sculpture of a horse in Paris. Buildings behind and gray sky above.

The boys mother stands behind him on their front step, looking away. A book cover with a photograph of a woman holding her baby at the foot of a staircase in a Philadelphia home for the unhoused.

Take a nap, Harry.
Children’s book cover of a little cat sitting upright on his bed while his mother, in her apron, exhorts him from the foot of the bed to PLEASE take a nap. (He is clearly wide awake and in no danger of napping.)

They must be worried because I just got this text. It’s the common sense “Agenda 47” now!
Spam text message from the Republican Party touts the new “Agenda 47,” which seems to be a response to the shit show that is Project 24. Text describes twenty common sense policies you must click to see, which I have not done. (Eye roll added by me. )
