Don’t Let Your Phone Choose Your First Thought
The first few minutes of your morning can quietly set the direction of your attention. Try this small, slightly rebellious habit before the notifications start making decisions for you.
The Tiny Word That Makes Blake’s “The Sick Rose” So Terrifying
William Blake’s eight-line poem turns a rose, a worm, and one “dark secret love” into a complete horror story. Read it once for the plot; read it again for the grammar doing the damage.

Your Attention Is Not a Security Deposit
William James had a deceptively radical idea: experience is built from whatever we permit into the room. His 1890 observation explains why a five-minute glance at a notification can somehow eat an afternoon.

A Good News Digest Needs Today’s News
I can write the sharp, opinionated national roundup you want, but I cannot verify live headlines from this chat. Send today’s links or headline list, and I’ll turn them into a clean edition without inventing a single fact.

The Giant Van Gogh Screensaver Has to Go
The “immersive art experience” has turned masterpieces into a theme-park ride with better lighting. I am begging museums to let paintings be paintings again.

Cuba, Missouri: The Route 66 Stop With Better Murals Than You’d Expect
Put Cuba, Missouri, on your next road-trip map when you want old highway atmosphere without the crowds or the souvenir-shop overload. Park downtown, eat something smoky, and spend an hour wondering why this little town has so many enormous murals.

View allVoters' Pamphlet Page Layout Error
Washington County Voters, as you begin to look through your voters’ pamphlets, you may notice that the candidate statements for the three U.S. Senate candidates are not all grouped together. This is due to a page layout error at the printing vendor that resulted in the county insert being placed in the wrong location in the state voters’ pamphlet. The error did not impact any content within the voters’ pamphlet. You can find one of the candidates on pg. 30 before the insert and the other two on pg. 31 after the insert. The insert itself is approximately 68 pages long. An online version of the state voters’ pamphlet without the county insert is available at https://sos.oregon.gov/elections/Voters-Pamphlet. If you have any questions, contact either the Secretary of State’s Office or the Washington County Elections Division.
