February 2026 is a nice square calendar and I find it very pleasing.

Proposal: all Februaries should be nice and square like this. We can add some blank non-days to January and March as needed to achieve this.

this is amazing!

speaking of AI, just noticed Time has a box on their website where you can query AI about its archives.

In case you were wondering, Los Angeles baseball team name etymology. I loled.
