Looks to be nerdiest shirt I’ve seen this year… Inspired by Ellen Raskin’s The Westing Game. Of course, I would have chosen some of Raskin’s own cover artwork. I’m happy to see the current Modern Classics edition has (mostly) restored the lovely original artwork and retired the banal covers from the 80’s and 90’s.
The House Next Door relives the Summer of ‘83 in movies, featuring Krull:

This is for those that have exhausted the Jack of All Trades episodes on Hulu.
Stumbled upon some great fodder for our rival to Just A Little Guy today over at Shoot!. The photos come from a book entitled The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss, which probably contains material for a couple months. Or wait, is killeranimalssayhi.blogspot.com setup already?

Yet equality is not dead. Socialism is dead, but equality as a goal is not dead.
Monocle’s Disappointing Myopia over at the Magazineer (which I had never read before).
Monocle blurs, like no Western magazine I’ve seen, the boundary between advertising and editorial. Advertiser products and services are frequently mentioned in features, reviews and articles, without any indication that there is a business relationship involved.
