Without subscribers, this blog wouldn’t exist and I’d be homeless.
What I didn’t expect about subscription is that of the twenty to thirty I lose every year, only two or three are because people cancel.
Instead what happens is one month I get a notice that “payment has failed.” This is almost always because credit card details like the number or expiration date have changed. PayPal doesn’t tell subscribers, so I try and let them know, but most of the time I don’t get thru.
So, if you subscribe, I’m asking you to check if the subscription is still active. You may think it is, but don’t be so sure. You can do this by checking your credit card payments for the last month, or if you have a PayPal account, thru them.

Everyone knows it’s hard being the high school basketball team that lost to Air Bud. He’s a dog; it’s an embarrassing defeat. But people don’t realize it’s worse being the team that went out, played hard, and beat that beloved golden retriever by eighty-seven points.
Famously, there’s no rule against a dog playing basketball. Apparently, there is one big rule about forfeiting against a dog playing basketball.

Trust me, we tried to lose, but it wasn’t enough. Air Bud is very skilled at bouncing a game-winning shot off his snout in an emotional third-act climax, but he’s less adept at small things like dribbling. The dog does not have hands. I said that phrase so many times during the game. There’s only so much stalling you can do before your team starts draining mid-range jumpers.
Mark Martin floated fringe theories to keep Trump in power. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito taught with him — even after January 6.

Puffing on a vape, Peter Kennard flicks through an old notebook, showing me cutouts of his first commission. The images are already fixed in the now iconic Kennard style — an ominous Richard Nixon delivering his State of the Union address, whilst Edward Heath and a crowd representing the British public subserviently pay witness.
