ITC Willow Typeface. Tony Forster. 1990.

Possibly one of the most influential uses of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's letterforms; it adapted and standardised numerous hand-lettered sources for the digital age.

NB: Mackintosh never actually designed a 'font'.

Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."

La crisi consiste appunto nel fatto che il vecchio muore e il nuovo non può nascere: in questo interregno si verificano i fenomeni morbosi piú svariati.
▫️Antonio Gramsci, 1947 [1929-1935]

#Umore.
Still from Pedro Almodóvar's DOLOR Y GLORIA (2019), showing Antonio Banderas as Salvador Mallo in his study, reputed to be a replica of Almodóvar's own. The main post is a quotation from Antonio Gramsci's QUADERNI DEL CARCERE (written 1929-1935; published 1947; translated as PRISON NOTEBOOKS, 1957 and 1971): The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Give me a sprawling family saga over a quick read any day.

Multiple generations. Old secrets. Complicated marriages. History changing around the characters. One family making the same mistakes in increasingly creative ways.

On this day in 1942, the senior Nazi official August Frank issued his memo on evaluating the possessions of people sent to their death at Auschwitz and other extermination camps.

It is one of the more chilling documents of the 20th Century. 🧵

-American writer Jane Smiley, born on this day in 1949

Her best known work, "A Thousand Acres," transports the story and themes of Shakespeare’s King Lear to an Iowa farm.
