Reading another psychology/human behavior book talking about the Milgram experiment and thought about what might happen now if universities were still allowed to conduct those studies and then realized that is effectively exactly what social media does. It's one big Milgram experiment.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

On Cary Grant's birthday, a poem by Norwich poet Ron Nevett which begins with the fact that the city was the first place he performed, as a teenage acrobat. (Further local boasts include the first postcode, the first bellringing peal, and the first book in English by a woman, Julian of Norwich)

The Sun just produced a truly spectacular #SolarFlare! Although its flare classification (defined by its peak brightness at X-ray wavelengths) is not huge (X1.95), the physical volume of the flare is the biggest I’ve seen in a long time. Earth-directed too. What an event – wow!

Just saw it noted that 100% of the world’s Ozempic supply comes from Denmark, as does a somewhat smaller percentage of the world’s insulin. Almost as if it’s really quite a small world!

Alan Watts discussing why poets are so often at their best when speaking of change.

and like wilful travellers in Lapland, who refuse to wear coloured and colouring glasses upon their eyes, so the wretched infidel gazes himself blind at the monumental white shroud that wraps all the prospect around him

Dusting the words of this old sonnet by Elinor Wylie, that proves to be untimely Unfinished Portrait I am content To leave you an uncaptured element; Water, or light, or air that's stained by both.

1/ Sleepy in the late day shine of sun off snow. Considering old notes, mostly Julien Gracq. Out of _Reading Writing_: “What we want is literature that moves, seized at the very moment it still seems to be moving, just as we prefer a sketch by Corot or Delacroix to their finished paintings.

Qazaq solidarity is so heartwarming. The way that many of the survivors of the Asharshylyk have been showing up for the survivors of the Holodomor(s) has been very powerful and truly inspiring, across many communities who relate

This is an Underground Railroad style operation. This is what I mean that we should study UR history, tactics, and strategy.

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

He needs to go, and frankly at this point, I don't care how. He is the dark, potent poison that is whispering in the ear of an old, angry, vindictive man with great success. Think Wormtongue in Lord of the Rings.

This Female Opossum with Baby was found near the Temple of Ehécatl-Quetzalcóatl in Tlatelolco, Mexico City dated 1454-58.
