None of the reports include all the data from DC's 500-times-the-explosions event.
This one points out that particulate matter PM2.5 jumped by 9,600%
Another says the air quality index AQI jumped from 70 to 197 to 288 for one station; another station still read 278 at sunrise!
If not for the rain partially during and after, many would have been sickened.

Happy Birthday, Marilyn! Palm Springs broke the record for most impersonators in one place - 1,037.
They were all given that white dress and a wig, and time in the stylist tent.

The Most Exquisite Tiny Books in the World

For all of the bookworms, here are some of the most exquisitely rendered miniature books in the world.

As a warm up, here’s a picture of the bombed-out Holland House library in London during WW2. The message was loud and clear. Readers won’t be perturbed from doing what they love, no matter what else is going on around them. There is something comforting in that.

Shiki no Kusabana (The Flower of Seasons)

This miniscule book has pages measuring a measly 0.75 millimetres (0.03 inches), and writing that’s impossible to read with the naked eye.

The charming 22 page book has monochromatic illustrations of Japanese flowers and their descriptions. The printing company responsible for Shiki no Kusabana used similar technology as used by money printers to prevent forgery, with letters spaced an amazing 0.101 mm apart.

This book was created in recent years to compete against the current Guiness World Record holder for the world’s smallest book, but failed to cut the mustard. Still, it’s incredibly beautiful in its own right. Shiki no Kusabana is on display at the Toppan Printing Museum in Tokyo.

Here it is next to the eye of a needle…

The Chameleon by Anton Checkov

The claim for the smallest book in the world goes to the 30 page volume (in English) of the Russian novel The Chameleon by Anton Checkov. This was created by Siberian craftsman Anatoly Konenko in 1996 and measures a tiny 0.9 mm, or about the same size of a grain of salt. Astonishingly, this book also has three colour illustrations, but nothing can be seen with the naked eye.

The University of Iowa Library

This library has around 4,000 miniature books on the shelves.

My Very Own Tiny Book

This one comes from a country market in Cardigan, Wales. It’s leather-bound with gold leaf writing on the cover and entitled The Lady of the Lake by Walter Scott, printed in Glasgow by David Brice and Sons, published in MCMV (1905).

It’s probably the oldest thing I own and one of the most treasured. Other treasured old things include, a 1940’s vintage red dress from Poland, which I wear all the time (it most certainly has a story), a pair of battered old leather boots, and books, lots more books.

Do you have any books that you treasure? do you have any tiny books?

🌻 Padla nejvyšší slunečnice světa, 490 cm! Musel jsem jí pokácet sekerou, ležela vyvrácena na zemi, urval se totiž provázek, který ji držel už asi měsíc. Pokus o narovnání a upevnění novým provázkem nevyšel, zem už je moc promáčená (pršelo 2 dny v kuse).

HBomberGuy makes great videoessays. Mostly game related, but not always.

This time he explains where the soundfile "dow" comes from. He falls into a rabbithole and finds there one of the great liars of our time. Reminds my of musk and trump.
