The idea of paying for a type specimen catalog—essentially a tool designed to sell you fonts—baffles me.

True, they're often examples of beautiful print work, and obviously cost money to create, but at the end of the day, they're still just a catalog trying to sell you a product.

Design wise, this is one of the best interactive infographics I've ever encountered.
There must be a medical definition for the type sickness that compels a human to amass this much money.

#Jazz Festival? Is this a joke? If you're throwing a jazz festival and not reaching out to living legends like Pharoah Sanders, or any of the young generation blazing new trails in the genre, like Nala Sinephro, you are failing. Miserably.
#neworleansjazzfestival, explain yourself.

"If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding the truth... It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."~Sagan

This is what losing the cold war looks like. Putin continued the long game while our hubris helped drive us apart.

There is a strong likelihood Zenith didn’t get permission to construct, modify, or operate pipes in 2021 & has been out of compliance with city law for over 3 years to present.

They are almost certainly in violation of their franchise agreement.

We need action from Mayor Wilson!
DEQ fined Zenith Energy last month for constructing a pipeline and using it at least 30 times in 3 years. Now, the city of Portland is unable to provide records showing Zenith had local permission for construction. A new complaint filed with the city says that is grounds for a city investigation.

In ideal conditions, the human eye can see approximately 2500 stars in the night sky.

On Instagram alone, there are over 23 million posts marked with the hashtag, #stars.

One of these has freely inspired humanity since humanity existed.

The other is owned by Mark Zuckerberg.
