Today, Big Bend Sentinel appears with a new logo, adapted by John Downer from the script dating from August 1950.

The mountainscape view from Marfa came from Google Earth, with a little AI help.

You can still get a copy of the print edition mailed to you (in the U.S.) for no more than $1.20 a week!

@SkyShowtime : Saw Sky Showtime ad in Norwegian on a Norway site, and subscribed. But video won't stream on the browser. App store says the app is not available in Norway. Google TV had an app. . . Can't contact the company on the website. Cancelled, but no refund. 🙁

@georgehahn : Brooks has marked down their new Explorer suit. Only a few years out of date. But this bothered me: "We started with lightweight wool … and gave it just-right stretch for comfort."
Is it wool or it stretch?

@mikeorren @AppleNews By the way, that story in the New Yorker about J. Crew is not about how it tanked, but how it succeeded so well under Arthur Cinader, and later under Mickey Drexler. The piece concluded with the turnaround by Brendon Babenzien.

@mikeorren @AppleNews I don’t see anything on there that I don’t already subscribe to. Newsweek? Really? And I guess I can do without Barron’s, Variety, and The Times of London. I’d rather give the hundred dollars a year to the Texas Tribune or the Florida Phoenix.

: The Moratorium demonstrations, the Vietnam protests of 1969, are recounted in a doc on PBS tonight. David Hawk was a key player. He got me involved that April in the opening bell of protests against Nixon.

. . . I was pushed outside to a bunch of TV cameras. Then one of the reporters pushed a big mike with a foam cover into may face. He said, "Dan Rather, CBS News." And I was on!

@GovRonDeSantis How're we doing with the stinking seaweed sludge on the East Coast, and the red tide on the West?

@bradyendle Looks great, but in the headline any one language would have made the point. Or is that the point?
