i absolutely love jon bois’s thing where he frames himself as an average guy who just found out about stuff and ends up having the most reasonable understated position and disposition because of it while everyone else is lost in the ongoing drama

super underrated rhetorical device

I really liked the “stuck with me” quote so i drew two things with it

More 17776 art cuz i can feel my brain rotting with it

Something is terribly wrong.

been rereading 17776 with an online book group, and it truly is a masterpiece. i don’t think it would ever work as well as a print book, but i wanted to give making the cover a go!

[ID: A digitally illustrated cover for "17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future" by Jon Bois. The title "17776" is written vertically over a football which a pair of dark-skinned hands is holding out, and the overlap of the numbers and football is colored in swirling blue with red, green, and yellow accents. Above the hands float the satellite forms of Nine, Ten, and Juice in space. End ID]

The Five Rules of Supporting American Sports Teams

One: Always support your local team, especially if they're not good.

Two: When in doubt, support Philadelphia.

Three: Jon Bois is always ontologically correct in the teams he supports.

Addendum Three-A: Except the Chiefs.

Four: If a team is successful, they are evil.

Addendum Four-A: Especially the Chiefs.

Five: Regardless of time, reasoning, success, culture, creed, or race, Yankees fans burn in hell. This rule supercedes all other rules.

In light (haha) of the recent eclipse, I’d like to point out that it was during an eclipse in 1868 that French Astronomer Jules Janssen observed an unusual spectral line produced when he pointed his telescope at the partially obscured sun. He assumed that it corresponded to the spectrum of Sodium.

Observation by English astronomer Norman Lockyer later that year revealed it to be a different element. The first one discovered on a distant celestial sphere before it was discovered on Earth. He chose to name it after the sun.

In 1968, one hundred years later, a space probe was launched to orbit around and study the sun.

Juice has been in contact with humanity for millennia. Has it ever occurred to him to just ask them to bring back Lunchables?

8 million people on Earth, surely one of them has nothing better to do. I get the whole perpetual apathy and the “keeping earth exactly how it was” deal, but I think our favorite satellite deserves a hampuck, as a little treat.
