Week notes: 26th April 2026

A very offline week. I’ve hardly had any time to look at cool stuff. Society has let me down. We need to reorganise it around the principle of maximising the amount of time I get to spend browsing the ‘net.

I’m only posting this because it feels so pathetic to break a streak on week three.

Vintage Weekly Bus Passes

Someone (likely many someones, given the timeframe) was cranking these out and had a lot of fun doing it. Big thanks to Kindra Murphy for the collection. This kind of archival work is one of my favourite things to look at on the internet, and it wouldn’t be possible without people like Kindra.

Side note: I’m worried these posts are just going to be things I found on kottke.org

Why Gandalf Never Married

A 1985 talk by Terry Pratchett on the gender divide in magic.
