I think people weirdly attribute their cultural identity to periods, people & geography they never had a prolonged experience with. Culture is a reflection of your lifetime of experiences. You can't be "50% Irish 20% Polish 30% Cherokee" with minimal formative exposure to either.

God I love Ursula K LeGuins writing so much.

Introducing Dawson. Named for Dawson Walking Bear, a character created by Kiowa sci-fi writer Russell Bates. So far we haven't had to use his full name. But we expect we might have to - he's an active kitten.

Star Trek is always so relatable. I’m human and I also don’t have any money…

NEW: US airlines (Delta, United, American, etc) will shut down a program in which it sold hundreds of millions of your flight records to government agencies, including ICE, FBI, ATF, more. Comes after intense lawmaker-pressure and 404 Media's months-long reporting www.404media.co/airlines-wil...

Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy

Archaeologist here. For 99.5% of human history (ca 300-400,000 years), we were peaceful (no war). There was conflict and smaller scale violence, but countless studies on the 119 known modern hunter gatherer groups show cooperation, negotiation, and peace instead of conflict. Please read books.

The Holocene Calendar is the only serious candidate that works as a global civic timescale.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

As Trump proclaims the Alaskan Arctic open for business, it turns out business isn’t good. The infrastructure to drill in the Arctic is expensive and the private companies interested in the area don’t appear to have the capital.

At the Birmingham Día de los Muertos this year, there was a pet ofrenda. I left Tobin's name, who we lost this year. Miss that little guy.

If you are upset at yet another nonsense time change disrupting our lives and economies and you want to punish someone over this antiquated, frankly vicious practice, then rest assured in knowing that the very people who created it are all dead.

The "Divided Dial" may be the BEST documentary ever made about the history of AM talk radio and far right shortwave broadcasting. I heard a lot of those broadcasters in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Excellent work by Katie Thornton and others at WNYC. They nailed it. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...
