Omnibus - The Tartarian Empire (Entry 1279.NA0206)
In which a QAnon-like conspiracy theory insists that fancy 19th-century architecture was all built by a mysterious, long-lost superstate, and John is concerned about neighborhood dogs with heads the size of pumpkins. Certificate #20354.
The Best One Yet - 🟠 “The Sky is Orange” — NYC’s wildfire insurance. Beauty’s perfume parity. CNN’s reality TV.
New York City is experiencing smoky air due to fires, and that’s got us thinking about 1 industry: Insurance.
Because wildfires in California have made it uninsurable.
Cologne and perfume sales are up 60% from before the pandemic, and the surge is coming from men (#Dudefumes).
And CNN’s CEO is out after a really awkward interview, a bad article, and a gym workout.

Everything Everywhere Daily - England, Britain, and the United Kingdom: What’s the Difference?
Located off the Northwestern Coast of continental Europe lies an archipelago of islands that most of you are familiar with.
The thing is, the name of the islands and the names of the places that make up the islands are often used incorrectly.
Moreover, how all the various parts of this archipelago are related to each other is pretty confusing as well.
Learn more about England, Great Britain, the United Kingdom, and the British Isles and how they are not the same thing on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Ann Komaromi, “Soviet Samizdat: Imagining a New Society” (Cornell UP, 2022)
Soviet Samizdat: Imagining a New Society (Cornell UP, 2022) traces the emergence and development of samizdat, a significant and distinctive phenomenon of the late Soviet era that provided an uncensored system for making and sharing texts. In bringing together research into the underground journals, bulletins, art folios, and other periodicals produced in the Soviet Union from the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s, Ann Komaromi reveals how samizdat helped to foster new forms of imagined community among Soviet citizens. Komaromi’s approach combines literary analysis, historical research, and sociological theory to show that samizdat was not simply a tool of opposition to a defunct regime, but a platform for developing informal communities of knowledge. In this way, samizdat foreshadowed the various ways in which alternative perspectives are expressed to challenge the authority of institutions around the world today.
Ann Komaromi is a Professor within the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and Acting Director of the Centre for Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto. Her interests include alternative publishing, underground networks and nonconformist literature and art, especially in the Soviet Union after Stalin.
Iva Glisic is a historian and art historian specialising in modern Russia and the Balkans.

What A Day - Down With Stand Your Ground
Smoke and haze from wildfires burning in Canada have blanketed much of the eastern United States. Several cities, including New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C., remain under air quality alerts, and forecasters warn that dangerous conditions could linger for days.
Florida’s controversial “stand your ground” law is back in the spotlight, after the woman accused of fatally shooting Ajike “AJ” Owens, was arrested Tuesday night. Authorities say Owens, who was Black, was shot through the front door of her white neighbor’s home last week, following a dispute involving Owens’ children.
