I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

Pair of bookplates and a bookseller ticket from a Kipling endpaper, applied ca. 1909. The left one is really of its time and sports a totally insane typeface choice.

So, the thousand island dressing (a derivative of RUSSIAN dressing - it used to have caviar and sour cream in it, as I explain here www.hilobrow.com/2019/03/23/s...) is obviously a signal to Putin. "Don't worry, I've got your back" sort of thing."

The "elite" public universities are worse than the privates - worst of both worlds. What PUBLIC are schools with acceptance rates in the teens that spend millions courting applicants they can reject and massaging their yield serving, anyway?
You might think "Why would these people want to destroy a university they support financially?" It's a great question. The answer is, they don't want to destroy the university. They just have very different ideas about what the university should be and do than you.
I see a lot of people saying this will hurt their donations, and I want to contribute this: Donor capture is exactly how we got here. Trump couldn't do any of this if the big money donors weren't already on his side.

Kofta kebab recipe in England c. 1660. Amazing find!
Would anyone like to take a guess at the word before “kebob”? Which predates OED - ms is 1660

A few more large format Posadas and, to mix it up, one by the famously overshadowed (if such a thing is possible) Manuel Manilla who preceded and overlapped with Posada at A. Vanegas and may or may not have been the popularizer of the calavera.

The use of a shadow typeface with a typo (I'm imagining they only had 2 Ns) in this 1905 José Guadalupe Posada broadside is so great.

This one is funny - Posada was a indefatigable, critic of president/dictator Porfirio Diaz, but it often had to be subtle. Posada depicted people from every walk of life, but the only one who didn't look like a person was Diaz, here depicted as a lumpy guy with a dumb moustache and too much hat.

A few calavera - the first a great 18" x 13" (a little too big for my scanner) two sided flyer for an exhibition of Posada's work (no date ca. early 1960s)

Cataloging a big collection of José Guadalupe Posada broadsides and I'm going to throw some up here. First off: booklets full of embroidery patterns, "children's theater" pamphlets, a calavera on a recruiting mission to a cemetery.

I’m gonna disagree. Dems should say: “You know damn well Republicans don’t care about women’s sports. And you know they get arrested every single day for preying on kids. No wonder they make laws where they get to look in your kid’s pants. They wanted to make a child predator Attorney General.” …
Here’s what Democrats should say about trans women and girls playing sports:
“Republicans don’t care about women sports. They just want you to fear young people living their lives freely—so you don’t get angry about their billionaire overlords picking your pockets and controlling everything.”
