We have the honor to present to you, this year’s SPX 2026 poster done by none other than the recipient of the 2025 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Series, Sanika Phawde! 🥳🥳🥳 To say that we are proud to have this as our poster is an understatement.

Patching and reinforcing my favorite canvas, Pure-Moods-ass (aka excellent) tote bag I bought in ~1996 which weirdly gets tons of compliments these days, but was starting to get little holes everywhere

I might have gotten a LITTLE stuck between the planes, but on the way out I helped this dude brush his teeth so well that some of his teeth fell out (it's okay, I stuck them back on)

They responded with "Ok... so we don't know enough about ag to make any sense of who these clients are. "But still! We JUST KNOW you've got to be on someone's diabolical payroll!" and cancelled the op-ed anyway.

The funniest part is before cancelling it, they demanded a list of all my clients. Because SURELY there was some conflict of interest that was causing me to say such a thing. So I sent them my full client list.

Yeah so NYT asked me ~2 yrs ago to write an op-ed about how the Colorado is running dry, & what we should do to keep this exact thing from happening. I said "There's only one real answer. Bill farmers by how much water they use. Duh." NYT editorial staff freaked tf out & cancelled the piece.

saw an article today about an az politician saying how great it was that we're now in emergency drought conditions because the farmers get automatic bailouts and I feel like way more Professional Rural Understanders just breeze by sentences like that. www.paysonroundup.com/news/arizona...

One wolf will punish anyone who did not directly contribute to the experiment's creation. Every part of this experiment has been replaced, so it may not be the same experiment. The box falls in the forest, but no one is around to hear it. The wolves see only shadows projected on the wall of the box.

There are two wolves. One always lies. One controls the lever of trolley track. They're in a state of superposition inside a box. On the trolley are infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters going to an infinite hotel. The trolley must first travel halfway, but before that a quarterway, and so on...
