What makes someone a true friend? Overthink student assistant Ila outlines French philosopher and mystic Simone Weil's answer. For Weil, true friendship is a miracle that allows us to respect the distance between us and our friend, and is ultimately a reflection of love for God. How does Weil’s view intersect and diverge from other philosophers, such Michel de Montaigne and Hannah Arendt? What can Weil tell us about holding our friends accountable?

Willow Springs is a site located in southern Wyoming almost on the Colorado border that is home to archaeological components spanning almost 10 thousand years.
Walking around the site, you can see the Overland Trail goes right through it, and due to the freshwater resources became a small stagecoach station where people on the trail would swap and water their horses.
Also located in the area is a Paleo component with the bones of an extinct Ice Age bison. This excavation is led by the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist (Dr. Spencer Pelton) and a crew of volunteers.
Here’s a sample of what excavations look like on the High Plains.
I’m Dan Piraro, the creator of the Bizarro newspaper comic, and this is my weekly blog post. The large Sunday comic above is mine, as are all of the below-cartoon comments to follow.
Since January 2018, the Monday-Saturday Bizarro comics have been written and drawn by my comics partner, Wayno. For more fun, check out Wayno’s weekly blog post.
In last week’s post, I featured 20 of my title panels (the small, square graphic at the top of these posts) and asked if you’d like to see any of them on a T-shirt, and if so, to vote for your faves.
The response was surprisingly robust, and we got over 500 votes! So we’re in the process of turning the top five vote getters into shirts, and a few other products, too.
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm! More on this soon.
A few days ago, I published a new Naked Cartoonist article titled “How to Avoid a Horror Show Marriage.” (I should know, I’ve had two.) It’s been quite popular (and not at all political!), so here’s an excerpt to whet your appetite.
“Couples therapists wisely recommend being in a relationship for two or three years before deciding to marry. That’s because while nothing feels more euphoric and transcendent than falling in love, it also renders you the stupidest that you’ll ever be. Those two years give that toasted marshmallow explosion in your skull time to morph back into a working brain.
That advice comes from people who’ve made a career of listening to spouses complain about each other, often with tears, shouting, and gnashing of teeth. Trust them when they tell you not to rush into it.
I rushed into my first two marriages like I was saving children from a flaming orphanage, which would have been less dangerous than those marriages turned out to be.”
The article also contains some of my favorite comics about relationships and matrimony. It’s sort of a humorous “how to” and “how not to” manual on marriage.
I only charge $5 a month for my entire archive of articles, and I post one every two weeks. I’m not trying to get rich, just looking to compensate myself for the time I spend looking for ways to keep you entertained.
If you enjoy enjoyment, I think you’ll enjoy The Naked Cartoonist. You can cancel anytime, and I would never share or sell your contact info.
Now let’s enjoy Wayno’s highly enchucklicating Bizarro comics from the week…
I found a Bitcoin in my washing machine the other day. I must’ve left it in my pocket.
It’s the bloodiest awards show on TV, which may account for its high ratings.
Unfortunately, I’m a much better spell victim than spell caster.
Tell that to my friends Theodore and Cliodore. They’ve been married for over 30 years, a few of them happily.
He wrote the book “Testing Crashes for Dummies.”

Today’s episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the Cheltenham Science Festival: David talks to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales about what we can learn from the astonishing success of an encyclopaedia built by its users. When and how did people realise they could trust Wikipedia? What makes Wikipedia different from Uber, Airbnb and other online businesses that depend on public trust? Are there wider lessons for how we might do democracy differently? And what will happen to Wikipedia in the age of AI?

Next Time: Now & Then with Robert Saunders – The Brexit Referendum 10 Years On
This table is made from cherry wood.
Dimensions: W180 x D100 x H70cm
Since the depth of the tabletop was a large 100 cm this time, I tried a new design while ensuring its strength.
The tabletop is joined to prevent warping by using Tapered Sliding Dovetail joints to allow for expansion and contraction, and the legs, crossbars, and stretchers are intricately joined.
チェリーの木でお作りしたテーブルです。
サイズは W180 x D100 x H70cm。
今回天板の奥行きが100㎝と大きかったので、強度を確保しつつ、新しいデザインに挑戦しました。
テーブルトップは吸い付き桟で伸縮を妨げない様に反りを抑え、
脚や貫は複雑に組まれています。

Many of them were manufactured more than 40 years ago, and it has become difficult to obtain those in good condition.

"Warum mit den Füßen?" Não falo alemão, mas meu querido cunhado, Pedro Bial, fala ou pelo menos lê -e foi ele quem me contou da chamada, na primeira página do jornal Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, numa edição de julho de 2006, durante a Copa: "Por que com os pés?". A resposta, num ensaio muito erudito (como se espera de um diário germânico), era simples e bela: porque é mais difícil.

Por volta de 23h45 desta sexta-feira (19) as primeiras mensagens de alerta extremo começaram a chegar em celulares de Curitiba. Nas duas horas seguintes, celulares no Distrito Federal, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Pará, Mato Grosso e outros estados começaram a disparar com o texto "misantropia" e um forte sinal sonoro acordando muita gente na madrugada. Até que a plataforma foi tirada do ar.

A 50 años del último golpe cívico-militar, el escritor e historiador publica un nuevo libro, 76. Crónica de un año que cambió nuestra historia para siempre, una extensa investigación alrededor del año que cambió la Argentina.
Después de indagar a fondo en la compleja personalidad del autor de Facundo, el actor lo trae al presente en la Sala Solidaridad del CCC. «Subo al escenario y soy Sarmiento», dice. Historia, prejuicios y postales de una Argentina en crisis.
