Just found out Dell has a new 40" 5k monitor with some pretty impressive specs. Looks like a good upgrade for anyone rocking a 38" UW (which I am), well if you have the $$$ for it (which I don’t).

I hope I never have a use for this, but the editor has a lot of interesting ideas, some of which I'd love to see in desktop editors.

Found this utterly deranged bit in one of the Better Homes and Gardens mags that recommends boarding up a "useless window" so you can hang extra pictures?!

Natural light is so coveted now that it's hard to imagine any lifestyle mag recommending this today

Attachments:

• Clipping from the June 1952 issue of Better Homes and Gardens. Picture of a living room with a window set into the wall straight ahead, the adjacent wall is apparently solid. The caption reads, "See how a useless window can become a useful part of the wall. It was paneled and used to frame the picture grouping above record-player"

Opinion: "By the turn of the 20th century, Southern elites had silenced the Populist movement and the agrarian rebellion of the 1890s — which brought poor Southerners of both races together in a fledgling and fragile political alliance — with Jim Crow segregation and disenfranchisement."

We hardly knew ya :(

Another of the Twitter replacement initiatives is shutting down after failing to generate sufficient business growth. Post.news was touted as the journalists' paradise, but it feels as though most journos abandoned their accounts soon after joining.

I'm not exactly sure why it didn't catch on, although a journalist only platform was hardly going to entice the social media masses. I think from now on, the standard for social media is to be federated.

If anyone needs period reference for home furnishings: Better Homes and Gardens is really generous with their archives, which start in the 1920s. I had to create an account in order to browse, but they haven't bugged me about any kind of payment. They don't try to stop you from saving off images, either. https://archive.bhg.com/

Attachments:

• A page from the June 1952 issue of Better Homes and Gardens. A full-page ad for vinyl floor tiles by Goodyear. In the example photo, the floor is patterned with large red squares divided by a grid of thick white stripes. Black squares mark the places where the stripes intersect.

(This isn't original; I saw it on Twitter many years ago—or at least, some version of it I've paraphrased here. I've tried to track it down a few times before, without any luck. But in any case, it made things that didn't make sense understandable.)

The CEO of Post News DMed me on twitter a while back. My impression is that part of his job was trying to convince prolific posters to come over and hopefully bring some part of their audience with them.

I politely declined. I noped out of Post News once I understood that Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway were involved. I don't want anything to do with a community shaped by those two. (It's okay if you like them. We don't need to talk about it.)

Anyway, the CEO of Post was trying to find common ground. I told him I didn't think I was the kind of person he wanted on his platform. I said I believe our views are incompatible. He pressed me to explain to him why. So I did. And he blocked me.

I knew then that they didn't have what it takes. 😂
