Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, Iโ€™ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls weโ€™ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

But how many small businesses (the engine of the economy and the heart of our neighborhoods) will be pushed out of business in the next two years?

The city is going to use some of that money to offer free tax preparation for businesses with under $250k in revenue.

I learned that PHL will collect more in BIRT taxes in the next two years from small businesses, while cutting taxes for major corporations. And fines on small businesses who don't know yet that they have to file this year for the first time.

My WIP novel has an island kind of like this. But I think Epstein has ruined the idea.

At electric car chargers in the winter time, it can take hours to charge a battery from 10% to 100%. So you end up waiting for hours just to plug in. They should have a line for short charges-say, under 30 minutes, just like there is a grocery checkout line for people who only have 10 items.

The Sesame Street account posted some tips for talking to your kids. If youโ€™re a parent even to grown kids, Lordy please check in on them.

As a photojournalist, I can confirm that good, clear signage with your key message, properly placed, is ABSOLUTELY KEY for your press conference/rally/march/event.

But given how rarely the Beacons were actually lit, it's just a steady supply of firewood. Maybe the King's men chop it as a service to the families who feed them?

I can picture the folks at the bottom of the mountain bragging that this wood they're burning was once part of the legendary Beacons of Gondor.

Over the centuries, yes, you would eventually need new wood. But you could rotate it out and into regular fireplaces as needed. So not complete ecological devastation. Or not more than all the crackling fires in all the taverns and homes.

I think they could have four sets in rotation. Replacing it every week, but using the same sticks over and over again. It would be a lot of work. But what else are those guys stuck on the top of a mountain going to do all day?

But now Candid is charging $3500 to look up organizations. That is going to exclude a lot of donors and job seekers.

Is it true that now you can only look up one 990 per month on Candid/Guidestar unless you pay $3499 per year? I am not finding another option ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I saw this sundog on my walk today. I needed a moment of beauty, and the sky delivered. The image is softened here; in real life, it was far more vivid.

Title: The last-minute christmas rush at the bookshop.

Image: diagram of a small bookshop packed with coloured dots representing people. The various colours represent the following groups:

Contentedly browsing customer,
Frazzled staff member,
Can't find the book they want,
Can't remember what they came for,
Complete decision paralysis,
In the queue to pay,
Thinks they're in the queue but aren't, 
Dozed off in a comfy chair,
Waiting to pounce on the comfy chair,
Crying child,
Crying adult,
Vortex of discombobulated shoppers.
