Week of April 28, 2025

Well, shit. I went to write next week’s newsletter and realized I never sent this out. Apologies.

1. The year in progress. Where we are in the year compared to running a marathon, a football game, etc,

2. An Inside Look at the Subway’s Archaic Signal System. Plus, The Seven People Who Can Turn Off the Internet. A little geeky but fascinating.

3. ‘Book brigade’: US Town Forms Human Chain to Move 9,100 Books One-By-One. Plus, Librarians are Dangerous.

4. Making a Pair of Jeans in 4 Minutes, a time-lapse (via full stop).

5. Larry David takes on Bill Maher’s visit to the White House. My Dinner With Adolf (Pretty, pretty, pretty good.)
