Auden kept in 1939, believed lost, has been found. (Not sure where; details are vague.) It will go to auction next month. For more of this morning’s roundup, click here. I know that feel, bro.

futurejournalismproject: Spongebob Learns a Lesson in Journalism Ethics Well this might be the best episode of Spongebob Squarepants ever. You can watch the whole thing here. If you don’t, here’s the spoiler version: Mr. Krabs starts his own newspaper, The Krabby Kronicle, and makes Spongebob a reporter. But Mr. Krabs wants some embellishment in the stories. He says: SpongeBob, what’s the meaning of this? ‘LOCAL RESIDENT WATCHES POLE’? No one’s going to pay to read this malarky. When you write these stories, you’ve got to use a little imagination, boy. Maybe instead of “Man Watches Pole,” you could say something like, “Man Marries Pole.” Then you could alter the photo a little to fit the headline… After which Spongebob’s readers get angry at his yellow journalism and he ends up teaching his publisher a lesson.
