An homage to a panel from the Achewood web comic. Phillipe, a young and eager otter, who is wearing a shirt and tie and a helmet for some reason, is happily singing a song to himself as follows: Born... in the USA! I went to school and I got an... A! I ate a hamburger and said hooray! Maybe it will happen today! The final line is obviously my addition. The art was redrawn by me and is not just a copy of the original panel. Done in black lines and halftone shading on a toned paper background. You do not need to trouble Chris Onstad about this.

Photo of part of an 1827 letter to Rear Admiral Willoughby Lake, squadron commander Bermuda station, from a Royal Navy captain: "There wanted but this additional proof of the manner in which the Spirit of the Law was violated, and of the truth of my information, that by means of surreptitious Clearances, the slave trade from these Islands had been carried on to a considerable extent with the West Indies."

Photo of section of a different letter, 1827: " The triumph of the Slave dealers was complete. It was openly avowed that the traffic in slaves thus mentioned, should be vigorously carried on."

Elders have long argued there was export of enslaved Bermudians between 1807-1834. I've looked for clear archival evidence for several years without success. Today's research: Slave Patrol captain in Bermuda lays out the method and reports on impending voyages to be interdicted. #SlaveryArchive

Dear Prof Beaudrillard, I'm so sorry that I said your work was glib and that you misunderstood both Benjamin and Foucault. Recent events have not you out. It's clear I had too much faith in humanity. I will work to remedy this mistake. I'll do better in the future, if there is one.

If you must use Al (don't) or know someone who does and blindly believes whatever it says, before asking it a question, ask it why you shouldn't trust what it will tell you.

"Don't get into a land war in Asia" is actually a true thing, not just a throwaway line in the Princess Bride.

Its times like these that I'm reminded of the fact that alcoholism is a huge problem in my profession.
