Thursdays. Enough said! But, if you're in the Ohio area, there's an auction going on next week that must be seen to be believed. The beloved Mendelsons is finally going out of business, and the auction promises to be amazing. Everything from the tiniest circuits to Segways are going. I will miss that place.

Good morning! Some more assorted links today. It's sort of a random week here.

Hi there. Here are a bunch of random links!

Today's rabbit hole began with a New Yorker article about all the Nazi art that's kept in a military museum in Virginia. Part of the collection is kept for "combat artists," which was new to me, so I went exploring and found the U.S. has had a combat artist program for ages - and still does!

Happy Friday, everyone!

It's Inauguration Day here in the U.S., and let's hope it's the start of better times. Without getting too much into the politics of it all, I'm glad to see some symbolic art on the mall and at the reflecting pool in Washington. Stay safe, everyone.

Hello! Just one link today to challenge your brain: Quant Fund or Metal Band? See how much of a streak you can maintain!

Happy Friday! We'll be off next Monday, and hopefully back on Tuesday. Library moving preparations are ongoing and likely to disrupt pretty much everything for the next few weeks.

"Librarians with Lives" sounds like a great podcast. (Full disclosure, I have not listened to it yet, as I don't really have a life at the moment; trying to move a library during a pandemic is turning out to be quite an experience!)

Hello! Just one link today, but it's a fun one: Arthur Conan Doyle's "rollicking" Lost World. Enjoy!

Hello and happy Monday! Are we all ready for another week of breaking news?

Well. Our nation has become a place where The Onion's news page makes as much sense as the actual news. Yay, us. Stay safe, everyone.

Happy Epiphany! In Eastern Europe, people are defying the temperatures (and pandemic restrictions) by diving into the water. It’s a holiday tradition, but possibly an unwise one this year.
In spooky news, the Dearest newsletter pointed me to Casa Codognato, a Venetian jewelry house with a beautiful eye for the macabre. Take
a look!

If you've resolved to learn a new language this year, why not try a fictional language? I was all about learning Cityspeak, but it doesn't look like there's an established dictionary, sad to say.
