Dear Loyal Readers,

Happy new year. Thank you for supporting me and Article Club with your paid subscription. I’m appreciative of your generosity.

Most of you support AC without any expectation of perks. But in 2025, perks are what you’re going to get!

(Don’t worry: I won’t flood your inbox with junk. Or with knickknacks, bric-a-bracs, whim-whams, or dingle-dangles.)

Instead, you’ll receive only the highest-quality, most exclusive fare.

For instance, like today’s offering: Behold, after a three-year hiatus, the Pets of Article Club calendar is back!

There’s Moby (Pet of the Year) gracing the cover. Inside, you’ll find 15 more wonderful pets. Maybe your beloved made the calendar?

Plus, I’ve included crucial AC-related dates — like when each newsletter comes out (in case you need a reminder!) and when each of our 10 monthly discussions will happen.

All right, I acknowledge that we’re well into the 21st century, and that most of us (including me) exist inside Google’s hegemonic ecosystem — and might therefore have no use for an old-school full-size analog wall calendar.

But if you’re interested in receiving one, I’d love to send one to you. All you need to do is email me with your mailing address. (I won’t save or share your address.)

I have no idea how much interest there will be, so I ordered 30. Who knows — maybe there will be whopping demand?

Thank you again for your support,

Mark
