It's astounding that I missed the GTA thing on Netflix because I was on a work call and when I pull up the app it's nowhere on my home screen. No promotion, no "recently added," nothing. What is the point of all of this if it's not gonna be shoved in my face immediately! I had to search for it!

perhaps the most charming consequence of the printing press in early modern Europe is the rise of broadsheet posters — which could announce news ranging from "enormous fire seen in the heavens" to "Mr. Höfler grew a weird cabbage"

a 1561 broadside poster with a hand-colored illustration of flames descending from the clouds toward a village while people look upwards in amazement. The headline reads "Ein grausamb/ vnd erschröcklich wunderzeychen/ so am 28. tag Decembris im LX. Jar/ zů Eckelßheym ein Meyl wegs von Forchheym geschehen ist" (A horrible and terrifying miracle, which occurred on 28 December 1560, at Eggolsheim, a mile away from Forchheim). The lengthy text below describes a huge flame seen in the sky (presumably the Northern Lights) and uses three biblical references to interpret the event as a warning from God and encourage readers to seek God's mercy. The credited printer is Georg Merckel. It's about 40cm or 16 inches tall. From the Wickiana collection at Zentralbibliothek Züricha 1553 broadside poster with hand-colored illustration of a big cabbage. The headline begins "Ein tröstliches vnd wunderbarliches Gewechs das warhafftig vor augen ist" (a comforting and miraculous growth that is truly before our eyes) and the caption explains that a multi-headed white cabbage was found in Thon (on the northern outskirts of Nuremberg) on Mr. Höfler's farm, which was interpreted as a sign from God for a bountiful year. The credited printer is Steffan Hamer. It's about 40cm or 16 inches tall. From the Wickiana collection at Zentralbibliothek Zürich

spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today and he said if we can climb up to the top of the CN tower during the Blue Jays game we can parachute into the SkyDome and then they'll have to give us a show at the Rivoli
