Does look good!

Ahead of the United States’ 250th birthday, we identified some prominent trends across key areas of American life: demographics, work, family and economics. Find the full analysis here:

This guy should never have to teach again, he should be so rich from this lawsuit. (But he should be allowed to teach again, if he so wishes.) This behavior on the part of Texas State is absolutely wrong

Hard agree. I am grateful for the example my Dad set me, and I try to do the same for both my son and daughter.

Hi guys. Please find attached my book. Some people say it will shape the idea of the English people. Don’t miss the section on the Synod of Whitby. My information is a little patchy, and I’m no fan of the Brits. Maybe you should supplement my work with archaeology? All the best, the Venerable Bede

This is exactly what our research shows: when it becomes harder to tell apart expert-looking content from the real thing, the value of expertise goes up. And so does demand for it… giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... AI hallucinations haunt users more than job losses

How is this even possible? We are a rich nation that relies on air transport. How can any airport, let alone LGA, have just one air traffic controller? We could solve this problem the American way: by doubling salaries. And by hiring back the (recently fired) ATC trainers.

Reporter: Who do you blame for all this? Traveler: Trump

Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

In the last t10 years, the Republican members of the Virginia Congressional delegation have consistently enabled the Constitutional norm breaking we've seen from Donald Trump. From corruption to attacks on citizens’ constitutional rights to blatantly illegal executive actions, they’ve been silent.

There is no bottom. It always gets worse.

I avoid flying as much as I can, but on sunny days, a window seat is a remarkable privilege of modern life. Here, Rome lies before you, with St Peter's at the centre.

This week on the blog, I get grumpy about Graeber and Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything and talk about medieval ideas of inequality (add your anarcho-syndicalist peasants here). #medievalsky salutemmundo.wordpress.com/2026/03/19/a...

Three men, including the star 19-year-old wrestler Saleh Mohammadi, were executed by hanging in Iran on Thursday after they were convicted of killing two police officers during protests in January, the Iranian authorities said. Human rights groups had raised concerns about the cases against them.

Line of the year in the new edition of The Economist: "Although President Donald Trump says he has “destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military Capability”, the 0% that remains is playing havoc with the global economy..."

If your friend texts you “I’m 99% sure I can make it tonight,” there’s a 50% chance they’ll make it tonight. If they say, “I could be convinced . . . ,” they are in sweatpants, and therefore cannot be convinced. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/3wOJVX

Oh no

Wed digit — 5/10: That winter chill just won’t let go. It’s a struggle to the 40s again despite some sun & light winds. Warming trend starts tomorrow! *Thursday: Highs 50-55 *Friday: Highs upper 50s to low 60s *Saturday: Highs in the 60s *Sunday: Highs upper 60s to low 70s Full forecast: cwg.live

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

BREAKING: Top counterterrorism official Joe Kent resigns over Trump's Iran war, says Iran posed "no imminent threat to our nation."

masterful gambit to make shipping costs go up higher by artificially reducing the supply of truck drivers in the middle of the biggest energy crisis in 50 years

Fascinating, apparently billionaires don't have an inner life, this explains a lot

Oscar-winner Ryan Coogler recalling how a college writing professor pushed him to become a screenwriter & the possibility of #Sinners being taught in film curriculums someday: “I have so much respect for professors…for dedicating their life to future generations & making sure their minds are solid.”

A lot of hot takes out there, be careful people!

Happy Pi Day to all who celebrate.

The Odyssey in a nutshell 😄

Two weeks into Trump's bombing of Iran and a lot of people I listen to are saying "it's failed". Seems a bit early for that kind of confidence. I think the Iranians are hoping to outlast Trump, and given his attention span that seems a wise strategy. But we don't know yet.

This is a big deal. apnews.com/article/juer...

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Oh no, I had not heard. She was an impressive person who was the ED when I began my term as JAAR Editor and on the Board.

**CONFIRMED: the temperature fall from 87° yesterday to 33° today in 21 hours is a record temeprature fall for Charlottesville (54 degrees) since records began at CHO in 1961. Big props to Peter Forister (GOAT) for the information!

My friend and colleague Rich!

How are the Republicans dealing with being in a minority when the majority decides to play "constitutional hard ball"? Judging from this, they are dealing with it not very well indeed.

I'd like to think this is true

Always mistrust the UK news but if this happened, wow is it wrong and I hope this person gets a huge win in whatever lawsuit they're sure to file
