@jason That’s cold. Dude’s brother died of a shaving cut.

The 1955 obituary of Robert “Colonel” McCormick fills that day’s front page of his newspaper, The Chicago Tribune. After later owner Sam Zell laid off hundreds of Tribune journalists, his brief Tribune obituary was written by a freelancer.

@dufthummel Danke schön! Though I fear Google Translate doesn’t do justice to the joke.

@coastgnu @AmiW
I took it Sunday morning with my iPhone.

@RickJ Ah, yes. Thank you.

@RickJ I’m afraid I don’t get the reference.

I’m rewatching Atlanta from the start, and it just dawned on me that “Justin Bieber” said his album was called _Justice_ in season 1.

The actual Bieber released an album called _Justice_ in 2021.

Season 1 of Atlanta came out in 2016.

Kind of them to step in while the city searches for a permanent powerhouse couple.

1/ So this column has been building up for some time. I thought perhaps the midterm results would ease anti-transgender rhetoric and legislation. But the GOP won't read the room, and so it's only gotten worse. Thus I ask: What the hell is wrong with you?

My Saturday fun project: using AI, every US president as a Pixar character.

@Aussiemandias @DSzymborski Clinton too, and to a lesser extent W. Must be a lot of post-presidential images in the training.

After a long drought, #MelroseMA got a new #bookstore last week. I bought a copy of American Gods, which turns out to have something to say on the subject.

@neilhimself

An excerpt from American Gods: “What I say is, a town isn’t a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it’s got a bookstore, it knows it’s not foolin’ a soul.”

You can’t summarize this story in a tweet, except to say:

1) The president of Stanford University is in deep, deep trouble

and

2) The student who wrote this story, Theo Baker (⁦@tab_delete)⁩, appears to be one kickass reporter https://stanforddaily.com/2023/02/17/internal-review-found-falsified-data-in-stanford-presidents-alzheimers-research-colleagues-allege/

I think my favorite place for waterfalls is #RickettsGlen in Pennsylvania. There are 21 waterfalls along a 7 mile trail. Each one is unique. Last year part of the trail was closed due to a rockfall. I hope it will be open again in the spring! This is FL Ricketts Falls.

FL Ricketts Waterfalls flowing in the spring in Ricketts Glen, Pennsylvania. There is lush green growth at the top of the falls. Silky water flows down the rocky falls and some fallen logs rest at the bottom.

What a pathetic baby. Like certain other public figures, I’ll never understand why people follow him. https://apple.news/AxSxKOWKyS8qRjtCENMcNMg
