What I read online today: Aug. 24, 2026

Robin Rendle's blog post 'Small things like these' recommends a book he immediately requested on Libby, while Joe Crawford's 'Chuck Tingle and the Internet' explores the author's online presence. Heather Cox Richardson's newsletter covers political analysis, and NPR reports on National Guard members speaking out about their D.C. deployment. Sonja Drimmer's article in The Conversation discusses how AI is impacting art history, and Ryan Broderick's Garbage Day piece critiques right-wing attitudes toward motherhood. Divergentes reports on the brother of Natalie Harp, Trump's 'Human Printer,' living under the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship.
