We are in a timeline in which People Magazine is publishing legit hard-hitting news headlines while CBS and CNN publicly humiliate themselves. I don’t like this timeline. But I’m loving People Magazine right now.

One of the best descriptions of the current instantiation of co service “intellectualism” I’ve seen.

8yo trying to stay up for the game. Just changed the subject from Vladdy’s batting average by saying, with no context, “Did you know Copenhagen is in Denmark?” He might be getting delirious.

Elgar, you keep using that word...

It seems Maryland got a cool new logo. Wonder what it means.

10yo just came downstairs, held up The Hunt for Red October and said, “can I read this book?” Excited to see what he thinks in the morning.

🤘🏼I wrote about sweating the small stuff. The city parks dept answered city council’s request to look into destructive practices w a shrug. That’s not good enough. Total park reform is needed & needs to be an election platform. If Chow passes on it, someone else surely will. Pls read & share. 🙏🏼🤘🏼

Why is this man, who clearly has no sense of remorse for acting in a way that endangers fellow citizens, being given a sympathetic ear instead of being jailed?

Why does @aircanada.bsky.social care if I spend my voucher on a beer? You’re making me listen to three cranky kids for an extra four hours before my flight but you care about my health?

Looks like a cool project. Also matches my prior that class is more social than psychological (outside of self-ID, which I think is social anyway).

This is a great job!

10yo has been reading Gilgamesh for about an hour. Seems to be enjoying the verse translation.

Yep. A great book that has reshaped my approach on a few fronts.

Have written up some of my thoughts about the increasingly sinister use of 'non-UK born' and 'white British' in the British press. The obsession with 'white British' citizens over other British citizens harms all of us and needs to be called out. benansell.substack.com/p/who-counts

Worst instincts of City Planning on display here. Creating an unnecessary rule on the off chance that someone makes a multiplex unit that too closely resembles lower income housing. Why should we care if a multiplex unit has 5 or 6 bedrooms?
