Was the global decline of extreme poverty only due to China? The share of the world population living in extreme poverty has never declined as rapidly as in the past three decades.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Just finished a fun story. It's two teens forming a friendship by writing notes and art in a library book. The book looks like they are doodling on an old astronomy textbook and pasting notes inside. The story is fun, but the way the story is presented is delightful.

I wore my "Read Banned Books" shirt today and the teller at the bank asked me what banned books were. I gave a quick explanation and example, but I feel I could have done better. I was surprised by the question and wasn't prepared.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
