Very cool new archive online: 5,000 historic American restaurant menus, searchable by location, year, and other settings. One Portland menu supposedly featured "Mount Tabor owls, roasted" (possibly a joke?) which may be a challenge to recreate for contemporary chefs! pudding.cool/2026/06/menu...

Lovely essay on the late Abdullah Ibrahim. ‘Mannenberg’ is a great place to start if you’re interested in what American jazz can sound like when grafted onto Cape & Jo’burg rhythms, but the gorgeous work he made for Enja from 1979–97 is sorely underrated – ‘Toi-Toi’, ‘Zimbabwe’, ‘Pule (Rain)’...

I know it's Manhole Monday but all I've got at hand is an open storm drain on 25th Street, under the railway viaduct, with Sulfur Cinquefoil (Potentilla recta) and other weeds.

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

Antonio Gaudí, Hiroshi Teshigahara (1984) This documentary arises from a deeply personal fascination of the Japanese director, better known as a leading figure of the Japanese New Wave.

Some more pics of LEONORA CARRINGTON’s drawings from the time she spent at a Spanish sanatorium in the early 1940s. They’re so delicate, which makes them very difficult to see from these pics, but the exhibition is fascinating and well worth a trip! At The Freud Museum in London. #ArtSky #Art

What’s a great, interesting, not terribly heavy documentary? Thinking along the lines of Helvetica, Bathtubs Over Broadway, or a Band Called Death.

Do you still deal in 'Books'?

Have you, like me, spent the last 26 years worrying if the Canadian Potato Museum STILL has the display of various potato diseases with potatoes in little coffins? Stop worrying. I checked today. Still there.

With the eyes of the nation on PA-03 (my district), I'm gonna do a thread on each candidate's path to victory and how I'll be looking at the returns tonight Full disclosure that I canvassed for Chris Rabb in this race, but as PAMaps I'm aiming for objective analysis

Nevermind the Guardian list, how many of the 93 books cited at one time or another by Mark E. Smith have you read

"Why do you sit reading by yourself, Tamasin, instead of playing with the others?" said Horace. "People have to read by themselves," said a girl of ten, keeping her hands on her open book. "And people do nothing by themselves too. We are waiting for time to pass."
