Every August, typeface designers flock to the middle of the desert for a week of sex & drugs, and they erect a large wooden word with all the spacing fucked up. They call it Kerning Man

I really liked this article. It's like an old-school blog. It's just the writer's opinions and guesses & he lets you know that.

This is the most summer in the city song I know. There isn't even a close second. I really like the music and I love the evocative lyrics. Also - the first few sections of the Wiki page are very good. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_in_the_City_(song)

There's quite a series of firework fusillades going off in my neighborhood. In other news - I had a bout of late middle-age senility. It took me ~30 seconds to remember the word "fusillade". Well, at least I didn't have to google it.

Surely you understand that if a drunk guy drives home safely 14 different times - you can't predict a safe 15th. Also Biden's "I can still win & I'm not sundowning" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by his shirt.

For the hell of it I'll mention that Rick Moranis and Geddy Lee (the bassist for Rush) went to the same elementary school in Toronto.

Every time Bouie is in the room - Douthat reaches for his phone and then puts it away. Finally one day Bouie blandly but firmly says "Are you recording every meeting we have so you can steal my ideas?" Douthat wordlessly sputters. His very next column is titled "Liberal Incivility and Intolerance".

Serious question - Why is that worth noting?
