Some great philosophers, illustrated—a 🧵.

These are in no particular order, but we really must start with Sockrates.
Play-doh Plato
Hegel's Bagels
Crobinson Rousseau
Arthur Schopenhowitzer
Thomas Hobbit and John Lock
David Humid
Friedrich Nitchy
Alexis de Toke-ville
These pictures were all made w/ the new release of Midjourney, the AI illustrator. I was playing around with it today while trapped under small children who were watching Sesame Street.

The new Midjourney is great, but it still can't do hands right.

"'Twas the Night Before Christmas" is now 200: It was first published in the Troy (N.Y.) Sentinel on December 23, 1823.

Since my family has an unusually large collection of copies, here is a 🧵 of the poem—with some of the best work of illustrators from the last two centuries. Image
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

Undergrads: Take electives in arts & humanities unrelated to major.

Writers out of school: Pitch book reviews. (Happy to discuss how.)

Everybody: Try new things, go to shows & art museums. Read widely, esp. smart criticism. If $ is short, public libraries are amazing resources.
@here_to_talk_1 So find some publications you'd like to write for and look at the masthead to figure out the correct editor to reach out to. And spend some time reading the kinds of things that they publish. Familiarize yourself with the length and tone and style of their pieces.
@here_to_talk_1 Then find a book—ideally a book that is coming out soon. Amazon lists forthcoming books; you can also poke around the websites of popular or academic publishers. Their catalogs are usually findable. (Don't know which publishers to consider? Look at the spines of books you like.)

Another year, another mess of material pouring into the public domain, as remaining U.S. copyrights on works created in 1927 have expired today. A little thread...
All of the original Sherlock Holmes works by Arthur Conan Doyle are at last in the public domain. 'The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes' came out in 1927, and its contents couldn't be republished in the U.S. without a license before today.
Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis' (at least the original version) is now back in the public domain in the United States. (The film was actually out of copyright once before, from the 1950s to the 1990s.)

This week, charges of antisemitism were leveled against a prominent figure in the otherwise quaint, charming, and frankly quite awesome community of fountain pen collectors and enthusiasts. (Really.)

Here's a short thread.
A man named Nathan Tardif founded the "Noodler's" brand of inks and pens. He's wildly innovative, and has created many inks—some very popular—and a range of affordable pens designed to be easily taken apart and put back together. I gather that Noodler's is a one-man operation. ImageImage
The inks Noodler's sells via various retailers come in bottles with art Tardif designed and sometimes drew.

The art sometimes gets political. Some examples: ImageImageImageImage

APROPOS OF ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL: Can I say a few words about a handful of pieces we've published recently in @TWSculture? I just want to highlight a few of my favorites from 2018. 1/
I'll start with this brilliant piece by David Skinner (@EditorSkinner). It's HUGE—and it's the best essay you will ever read about dictionaries. It's brand-new—it's on the cover (!) of the mag this week—but David started work on it back in March. 2/
weeklystandard.com/david-skinner/…
Another recent one: @HannahGraceLong is among the most gifted young writers I've ever worked with—she's a natural. This piece on Christopher Tolkien and his father's legacy is filled with more gems than Smaug's cave. 3/
