Yesterday was Public Domain Day, which welcomes thousands of copyrighted works into the public domain as their copyrights expire. Now, you can peruse previously copyrighted works from 1928 and sound recordings from 1923. What does this mean? You’re free to share them, copy them and build upon them however you desire without needing permission or having to pay a fee. Books from authors like Agatha Christie, Virginia Woolf and W.E.B. Du Bois entered the public domain, and of the most notable additions are the original versions of Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Kick Off Dry January

We’ve all heard the benefits of giving up alcohol, so why not try it for a month? It’s easier to stay committed to Dry January — or Damp January — if you have some non-alcoholic options at the ready. Pick up a six pack of Rationale Brewing ($14), and choose from the Hazy IPA, Mexican Cerveza or a West Coast IPA. Cheers to a healthier 2024.
