I wrote about why I can't sleep at night: the devaluation of so many things (critical thinking, creativity) I thought were paramount. lithub.com/when-we-deva...

"The Future of Truth, then, might be thought of as a book about how people need to embrace what few remaining opportunities we have to act like mad penguins, before we all become like pigs stuck in quadrilateral sewers."

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

There are no words for Sudan-- the "blood bath" conclusion marks the complete failure of the international community. This is a horrific situation & like so many other wars, I doubt there will be justice for these survivors & their families.

According to the theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, there is no such thing as objective reality — only perspectives. In a conversation with @zacksavitsky.bsky.social and a new video, Rovelli shares his own perspective on the nature of our world. www.quantamagazine.org/carlo-rovell...

Allow me to crow about Katy O'Donnell, my dear friend, all-around brilliant person, and best editor in the biz!

This!!! "you will be intellectually transformed by the process of reckoning with the knowledge these courses are about." I'd add that the memory of how this transformation *feels* is as important; I still hang onto the visceral satisfaction & pleasure of learning voice leading in AP music theory

In terms of process, I enjoy writing but revising????? Oh, that’s my real kink. A second or third draft???? A fourth???? Making tweaks on my desktop AND my phone???? *moans* I’m a WHORE for revision.

I call it “joyful rigor” when I explain this effort to my students. I don’t believe in or rather, I’m not a “suffering poet.” I’m a writer who enjoys writing. The work works on me and I’m grateful for the opportunity to delve into the process at my own pace and to be changed by it.

Devin Kelly's poetry newsletter is a weekly salve against inhumanity: "Some days, I can think of nothing better than to be like a clam"

Had never read Jane Goodall's original 1963 article in Nat Geo on the wild chimpanzees in Tanzania until now. It's a wonderful blend of science and journalism, and well worth your time. www.nationalgeographic.com/pdf/jane-goo...

so I thought I knew how greenhouse gases worked but this brilliant @quantamagazine.bsky.social explainer on the underlying quantum mechanics showed--as ever!--that there's so much more to know

This @jenkabat.bsky.social essay on MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN—one of the great wilderness novels—made me so happy today

#GravitationalWaves provide a unique way to study black holes This Orrery (by Zoheyr Doctor) illustrates the diverse black hole binaries and neutron star black–hole binaries from our O3b run. More massive binaries are shown as orbiting more slowly #BlackHoleWeek 🔭
