History illustrated

 

Occasionally lately I have been using the clerk manifesto time machine to visit random blog posts from the same day in the history of clerkmanifesto. But today, while I am going to be showing you a historical gem from clerkmanifesto's past, we come at it from a different angle. I have been featuring a lot of quotes in pictures here over the past week. Some of these are new and some pulled out of clerkmanifesto. So today I have the post from which I took a quote, and a new picture featuring it.

First is our new picture:

And then here is the original post from which the quote came, back on June 22, 2022. It has the appropriately apt title of "Retrospective":

I suppose everything everywhere all averages out to explain everything.

Lately I have started cruising through some of my old blog posts. Apparently I am close to having written 3,500 of them! If that doesn't seem like a lot to you I suggest going and trying to read them all. That should bring you round to it pretty darn quick!

If you did, for some odd reason, attempt to plow through all my blog posts I think you might waffle between the same two reactions that I have:

1. Wow! These are terrific. Who can explain the perfidy of the Internet!

and

2. I guess I can see what people don't see in this.

Over ten years of writing here I have worn away my caring about either of these responses, as to a nub, like the toe of a sacred statue kissed to nothing.
