When We Devalue Art (Books!) We Devalue the Future When you’ve spent your whole adult life working in and around book publishing you get used to hearing that people don’t read anymore and that the industry is on its last legs. There is always a cri…

Werner Herzog’s New Book Tackles The Problem Of Truth | Defector You might think of Werner Herzog’s new book, The Future of Truth, as the story of two animals.  On the front cover, you see the silhouette of a lone penguin, somewhere in the middle distance, setting ...

"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.

I mean, how can you resist that illo!

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

Sudan siege ends in bloodbath despite pleas for mercy Evidence emerges of atrocities committed by the paramilitary RSF after it seized control of El Fasher

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...

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

Congratulations!!!

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.

Mary Oliver's "Clam" Thoughts on clams.

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"

David Greybeard, a wild chimpanzee, gets a handout of bananas from author Goodall, who studies the apes under a National Geographic Society grant. This scene near her camp represents a triumph for Miss Goodall; at first the animals fled if she came within 500 yards. Knapsack holds camera and notebook. She carries a whistle in her pocket to summon searchers in case of accident in the rugged Tanganyika hills.

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.

Congrats! So looking forward to this; I loved THE END OF EVERYTHING and recommend it all the time

The Quantum Mechanics of Greenhouse Gases | Quanta Magazine Earth’s radiation can send some molecules spinning or vibrating, which is what makes them greenhouse gases. This infographic explains how relatively few heat-trapping molecules can have a planetary ef...

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
