It’s time for my monthly roundup of things from around the web that made me chortle. It’s normally exclusive to paid subscribers, but today’s version is free!
(You can sign up for a 30-day free trial if you want next month’s, too.)
Onto the chort chart!
First of all: shoutout to friend of Chortle
of !He wrote an excellent piece for a real newspaper (fancy!) about one of my favorite pastimes: puttering. Some of you may even have found Chortle because of this piece, since I got a nice little subscribership boost by riding his Recommendation coattails. If that’s you, thanks for joining us!
Read Benjamin’s story, "In praise of ‘puttering’" here, and subscribe to his weekly newsletter full of witticisms.
Look, some pictures are worth way more than a thousand words.

Most of the time, actually.
Chortle is my goose farm.
If you do one thing on Instagram today, follow @beetlemoses.
Finally, McSweeney’s is on Substack! They’re my favorite humor site on the web, and I’m delighted to now be getting their posts in my inbox.
As a grumpy parent of a grumpy toddler, their recent post You Are Hereby Sentenced to Attend a Music Festival really spoke to me.
Did you see anything funny this week? Drop it in the comments, and maybe I’ll include it in the next roundup!
