For my money, this is one of the most important stories of the year. FLF are one of my clients, but I'm happy to put my voice behind this proposition, which looks like it has cracked fusion. /1 www.energyvoice.com/renewables-e...

Trust in a news source - and integrity of those sources - is going to matter more and more. A few years ago I thought brands like Britannica would own this moment - heritage names proposing accuracy. I think there is still a niche there, I’m just not sure who’s positioned or willing to take it on.

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

The way love works for Tolkien is very simple; you see a beautiful woman from across a field, you recite poetry at her, she is now in love with you forever. Then you leave for fifty years, after which you return and get married. FIN.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

No one told me how great this petite book feels just holding it. Plus, you gotta love the poetic introduction written by two stellar writers. I am ready for this journey. A marvelous gem so far, @theferocity.bsky.social and @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social

When rational people have to constantly refute patently false and inflammatory comments fatigue is normal. So much is in the balance. This struggle is the one by which American democracy will be measured. It's ours to hold or lose. If it's lost lifetimes will pass before it is recovered.

In case you wondered, as I did, where is BigPharma? They make more money from medicines that treat diseases than from vaccines to prevent them. Vaxes cost pennies compared with treating diseases. Hepatitis B For example: $80 for three vaccine doses vs $11,500 infection treatment. It’s greed.

I just want to reiterate this ⬇️, particularly for myself, as I scroll my Bluesky feed.

Living through the shockopolis on BSky with daily commentary from Ismail is enervating. Moby Dick is always spot on. Every time. It was foretold 🐳

I feel like the US government consistently lobbing baseless claims of crime against high-powered black women should be a bigger deal.

looking forward to a day of revising the new thing, but the prior thing on submission keeps chattering in my ear. So of course I’m gonna indulge this. I’m going to attempt to interview my OG MC for a piece in a medical journal. Fun times. It’s all writing after all

Wonderful essay. Giovanni’s Room was the first Baldwin I read, as an adolescent. Thank you for helping me understand the work of beauty and the work of the irreparable in this book

Cancelled. Where are all the 1A defenders in govt today? Their megaphones out of batteries? Cause I got a little extra cash.

It's really, truly a wonderful read.

disney+I cancelled my beloved Hulu ESPN+ Disney+ subscription. Huge F1 and tennis fan, and don't get me started on Alien: Earth or Andor. But I love free speech and democratic rule more. @abcnetwork.bsky.social don't capitulate.

Sometimes I laugh about the time @brandyjensen.bsky.social wrote a lede for the ages and then we get to the next line and see what it’s actually about yalereview.org/article/bran...

This is a wonderful article from @garthgreenwell.bsky.social about Baldwin.

A modicum of normal here.

Just a reminder that I'm a good writer and editor who hits deadlines, if you have any freelance or part-time work you wanna throw at me.

DT Max never misses.

👇 💫 Very fortunate that @hamiltoncain.bsky.social reviewed Ian McEwan’s brilliant new novel, What We Can Know. A lovely review brimming with insight and praise that captures the essence and payoffs of McEwan’s dystopian vision.

Rigs to Reef are a great step toward a more sustainable future.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

The world’s most convenient texts read like a silver platter confession. I’ve never seen a text exchange full of so much exposition. We’ve got the gun, the motive, the grandpa’s ire (with flawed internal logic), the gun’s location, the alleged romance. And where is the defense lawyer?

Dear all writers: If you can't quote what the person you're defending actually said, maybe don't defend what he said?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MONTRESSOR

@ezraklein.bsky.social writes a glowing manifesto for DARVO fascism? Praises the "right way" to COLLAPSE democracy? He "envied" him? Ascribes good faith intentions when past actions prove the opposite. Whatever anti-violence message he was going for was lost.

The Bsky content I need this am

"It’s been weeks since you bought any produce from me, except for those Purple Comet Japanese eggplants last Saturday, and honestly, that felt like a pity buy."

I think we should have more names for someone with an overinflated sense of their own importance in English. These are my top five suggestions... 5. Poseidon of the paddling pool 4. Samurai of the butter knives 3. Hannibal of the lectern 2. Lord of the ring binder 1. Wolfgang Amadeus Flowchart
