    The Charles M. Schulz Museum posted this comic from Aug. 15, 1999. Something I think that&#39;s too rarely discussed is how Schulz caught a third- or fourth-wind late in his career, and was turning out some really funny strips the last few years. We should all be so fortunate: #Peanuts #snoopy #cartoon #comics

    &amp;quot;Quit complaining, Pittsburgh used to look like this every day,&amp;quot; blah blah blah. Yes, and people had heart and lung diseases and died at 48. There was literally a condition that doctors called &amp;quot;Pittsburgh lung.&amp;quot; Anyway. https://jaythurber.com/2026/07/16/im-nostalgic-for-breathing/ #wildfireSmoke

    Everything in the news is bleak, so I&#39;m looking for fun and joy wherever I can find it. Did you know that all of &quot;Mystery Science Theater 3000&quot; is streaming for free on YouTube? If you&#39;re like me โ€” and I know I am โ€” it&#39;s preeeeettty nice. @MST3K@www.youtube.com

    It&amp;#39;s becoming obvious that most nice, polite American liberals would have pointed at Anne Frank&amp;#39;s attic and told the SS &amp;quot;she&amp;#39;s up there&amp;quot; if it saved them five minutes of mild inconvenience on their way to buy a latte #USpol

    I know I&amp;#39;m old, but the fact that Jack Fleming has been dead for 25 years breaks my brain. For kids of my generation, he was the sound of the Steelers and WVU football. #radio #PittsburghSteelers #WVU
