The Sunday Paper: Chapter 48

Hi, it’s me! 🙂 I have no idea how long I intend to keep this up. Maybe I’ll stop at Week 52 and make it a year’s worth of links from The Washington Post. Plus stuff seen around the Web. Possibly. 🙂

Anyway, off we go!

A-Section “He never stopped ripping things up.”

Awards do right by toiling Black activists. (A gift link from Jeff Bezos and me.)

Photos show a ‘shocking’ mass of dead fish off the French coast.

Apparently, the US isn’t accepting “ugly potatoes”. Or “unsightly potatoes”, if you go by the online version.

Outlook

The Gerrymander Invitational. And, seriously, the print version is clearly better.

This is the “original gerrymander.” (Image via The Washington Post)

Book World

Here’s a memoir I definitely want to read. (And a gift link from Mr. Bozos, erm, Mr. Bezos and me.)

And from a different part of the paper …

What we learn from Iceland? I don’t know, but I’m interested.

A review of ‘The Violin Conspiracy’.

Metro

It was cold on Saturday, but the days are getting longer.

Obits

RIP Mel Mermelstein, an Auschwitz survivor who challenged Holocaust deniers. (Another gift link from Hitl- Jeff Bezos and me.)

There was a Sports section, but nothing interested me. There was nothing about the new name for the Washington, DC, football team, but I think they’re called the Commanders.

For some reason, I keep wanting to call them the Commodores. 🙂

Arts & Style

When Van Gogh made it rain, he really made it pour. The online version displays one of his paintings, digitized so you can zoom in on it. Which produces a blur if you just happen to move your cursor too close to it.

Magazine

Saving a Piece of Black Education.

Patricia and Manuel Oliver: “We remember our kid with every single action we do, because we carry Joaquin’s intentions in every single action we do,” says Manuel Oliver.

Making Waves.

Finally, the Funnies!

Books! They’re still a thing!

The Johnny Rotten of Bards! 🙂

Employees of the Moment!

Amen to that, Scott Stantis!

Bonus links: My Black History Paradox.

Jessup Plant To Turn Food Waste Into Energy.

Only those who know will know.

And here’s a random song from one of my playlists! 🙂

Plus a No Frills Promo! 🙂
