The bright orange cover of the specimen PDF for Gagneur, a new French-flavoured typeface. It says, in French: “Ni Garamond, ni Haultin. Ni Granjon non plus. Ni Jannon & ni Le Bé non plus. Mais ceci… c’est Gagneur.”
All the stars are here! sez Norm Macdonald, sarcastically.
Your beloved author, Robin, holding the Oscar for Sentimental Value. She looks entertained but in a shrugging manner.
The Tintin “what a week huh” meme but it’s me and my partner. I say “what a year huh” and she responds “Robin, it’s only December 31st!”
A large union of nations came together to prepare for the worst: in forty years, an asteroid may destroy all life on Earth. A smaller set of nations did not participate in this preparation: for each their own reasons, their populations voted against the tremendous investments that would be required to, in whatever way possible, avert or somehow mitigate disaster. But that’s politics, and politics are strange, absolute in their application but fuzzy and subjective and ever changing until they suddenly become applied. Here were the facts, however unclear some of them may have been: an asteroid had a chance of impacting Earth, in approximately forty years. Its composition had left astronomers unsure, with some wondering if it may in fact dissolve well before it reaches our solar system. Its path had been a surprise, which explains its late discovery, and this had made our scientists wonder whether its trajectory could change yet again. The likelihood of a collision had kept changing for years, from possibly to likely. The likelihood of that possible or likely collision devastating all life on Earth had varied from likely to absolutely. With these facts, perhaps we didn’t need scientists but philosophers. But that’s not how policy typically gets made.
A tumblr post by veryrobin: If you seek revenge, first dig two graves. Good exercise. Gives you strong arms. Teaches you persistence. Sense of accomplishment.
A video in which I implore the podcast hosts to expand their domain. Transcript is as follows: In light of Smell James Bond, I thought we could explore a few other podcasts. We could start, Grill James Bond. It's about all the masculine ways that you can cook food, as exemplified, of course, in James Bond series. Chill James Bond, where we, just, like, look at all the lounges that James Bond spends time in. Drill James Bond, where you look at power tools. Infill James Bond, an architectural podcast about the ways that the cities in the James Bond movies have changed since the filming. Instill James Bond, it's a show for dads who want to feel powerful. And so it's inspirational quotes basically for dad masculinity. Refill James Bond. We just kind of go through coffees. Still James Bond where we kind of look at the role of the actor, and the way that they get subsumed into the part of the superspy and what chances they might have in the future. As actors. Yeah. Call me.
Robin makes air quotes with her fingers and the word ‘nOrMaL’ is superimposed. She’s wearing a red sweater, with her hair up. It’s from an upcoming video essay.
