Today you have equaled Austin Kleon, on his best days, in dispersing trails of m&m's for us to follow -- stuff I never would have found on my own: T-Style Culture Issue: Beginners; restorative justice, clearly defined, no screaming involved; Nick Cave quote that reminded me of once saying to my sister, "I miss Kevin Spacey before we knew he was evil," and now I'm committed to re-watching his movies whenever I want; Marginalia --> Contrarians; Derek Silver on independence, true and deep . . . Thank you, my foraging friend. (I also laughed out loud at your stand-up clip.)

re: "Doing crowdwork is to comedy what being a caricaturist is to fine art."

fun comparison! sometimes a skilled and creative practitioner can elevate any of it to fine art!
