"The spies ... are patriots without countries, cursed forever to play out the violent gestures of war without any of the context that distracts from (or justifies) the carnage." @gyasihall's critical essay about the iconic comic strip is a must-read. longreads.com/2023/09/12/ret…

The formatting is completely borked, but going back to @mat's great 2014 story about Buzzfeed (and Circa and First Look) shows you what an eerie-ass time capsule tech optimisim can be. wired.com/2014/12/new-media-…

[whispers] if you use old Tweetdeck, you can set it so Twitter Blue accounts show a clown emoji instead of a checkmark and it makes Twitter a truly joyous experience
