Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H?
The jury is out.
Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

My favorite typo was the many times “pubic schools,” “pubic libraries” and the like appeared in our newspapers’ archive back in my journalism days.
My favorite typo was when I drew a perfect "Mr. Natural" on my sleeping bag (back in my hitchhiking days). But I failed to include an "R". So it read; "KEEP ON TUCKIN".
Perfect!
Perfect!
My favourite typo was when we were working on a fundraiser for "beast cancer research" 🤨

This collection of campaign signs in my neighbors’ front yard really underscores the value of designers understanding typographic hierarchy.

many social media managers will encourage you to spread your posts throughout the day but why do that when you have 500 thoughts and you could just literally post them all at the same time

“THE DREAM” IS DEAD. A SUMMER SEASON come and gone with NAUGHT a SINGLE SIGHTING of our beloved HOT MUSTARD DORITOS. The DEMONS AT FRITO-LAY have kept from us the THING OF JOY for which HEARTS ACROSS THIS NATION CLAMOR. They KNOW what the PEOPLE want, and they CARE NOT. SHAME! SHAME TO FRITO-LAY!
TRAGEDY! WILL HOT MUSTARD DORITOS not arrive even to HONOR the NATION that BIRTHED THEM? And WHY? Is it COWARDICE, that BASE DEFECT lurking in the HEARTS of ALL SMALL MEN? NO. Plainly I say: it is EVIL. The DEVIL HIMSELF is seated on his THRONE in the board room of FRITO-LAY — HELL IS HERE
Nearly ONE CALENDAR MONTH with NO GLIMMER OF HOPE for HOT MUSTARD ENTHUSIASTS. Will Frito-Lay ABANDON THEIR MOST LOYAL CUSTOMERS to MISERY by REFUSING TO RELEASE THIS GLORIOUS FLAVOR? Does FRITO-LAY SPIT IN THE FACES OF THE HUNGRY? Have they ABANDONED GOD?

This late-Friday news from Novartis regarding Horizon, its pelacarsen trial, is a real gut-punch. I survived a heart attack at 41, and have spent the last four years as a Horizon participant. I had so much hope for this. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/s...
The Heart Drug Pelacarsen Fails, Shocking Novartis and Cardiologists (Gift Article)
Doctors were hopeful the drug, which was being tested in a large clinical trial by Novartis, was going to be a powerful new tool to fight heart disease.

Medusa but her hair is an anaconda
Today I led a group of 10 Cub Scouts in making sunprints. It was 92° with 1000% humidity and the 8- and 9-year-olds had the focus of caffeinated gnats and sweat poured from me like a gajillion mini Niagaras, soaking my clothes and dripping onto their art. That was 6 hours ago; I’ve nearly recovered.

On the subject of Dolly’s union/working class solidarity, her 9 to 5 LP included Woody Guthrie’s ´Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)’, a protest song about the racist mistreatment & media coverage of exploited Mexican farm workers who died when the plane deporting them crashed in 1948.

In a world full of the destructive kookiness of people like RFK Jr, strive to fill it with a little of the restorative kindness of Dolly Parton.
Reminder: Dolly Parton helped fund the Moderna vaccine for COVID.

The country music star broke into song before she was inoculated, and urged her fans to “get out there and get your shot.”
