Diary Comics From the 1940s

This is wonderful: a Redditor uploaded some of their grandmother’s comics that she made in the 1940s, documenting her marriage to the deployment of her husband for World War II. I never got to meet my grandma, she passed away young in 1977 but finding her 1940s sketches felt like she was finally introducing herself to me. She was so talented, and as you can see, she had absolutely zero filter (I finally understand where my mother and I get it from). My favorite part is seeing her personality jump off the page. She goes from joking about Pre-Marital Chaos and Pancake Gravy to the gut-punch of my grandpa getting his deployment orders in ‘44. She wrote “Damn the Army and Hitler!” (thx, andy) Tags: comics

The Headless Mary Magdalene by Artemisia Gentileschi

I’m charmed by this fragment of Artemisia Gentileschi’s painting of Mary Magdalene that’s up for auction later this month. For many years it was in a private collection in Germany where it lay rolled up in a cellar. The head of the saint had been cut out of the canvas, un...

asgi-gzip 0.3

Release: asgi-gzip 0.3

I ran into trouble deploying a new feature using SSE to a production Datasette instance, and it turned out that instance was using datasette-gzip which uses asgi-gzip which was incorrectly compressing event/text-stream responses.

asgi-gzip was extracted from Starlette, and has a GitHub Actions scheduled workflow to check Starlette for updates that need to be ported to the library... but that action had stopped running and hence had missed Starlette's own fix for this issue.

I ran the workflow and integrated the new fix, and now datasette-gzip and asgi-gzip both correctly handle text/event-stream in SSE responses.

Tags: gzip, asgi, python

Lickspittle of the Week: Todd Blanche

politicalwire.com/2026/04/09/extra-bonus-quote-of-the-day-1022/

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, speaking of the president of the United States in a totally normal way:

I love working for President Trump. It’s the greatest honor of a lifetime. And if President Trump chooses to nominate somebody else and asks me to go do something else, I’ll say, “Thank you very much, I love you, sir.”

The phrase Blanche was looking for is “Thank you sir, may I have another.”
