Some nights you don’t need advice.

You need a song that understands.

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

Me: I love books. I will never stop buying them. I will die buried beneath them like a cairn.

Me while packing: whose shitass idea was this?

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

Full disclosure: I first encountered this Marxist art historian’s work in a Heated Rivalry thirst edit on Instagram.

It is early days in the book writing process but I'm already calling it: this is my favorite footnote in the book.

Seychelles beach on Ikaria, Greece. A large multi-toned rock sits on a rocky beach at the Aegean Sea’s edge. Brown rocky mountains rise behind the rock. The beach was created by a rockslide and is accessible only via boat or a treacherous hike.

Doctor: Over the last month, how often have you felt nervous, anxious, or on edge, or afraid as if something awful might happen?

Me: Right? Solidarity, man. I feel ya.

Doctor: No, I need you to tell me an actual number of days.

Me: Oh sorry, I thought you were doing small talk.

Being stronger means you’re likely to live longer, new study finds Even when controlling for aerobic fitness and daily physical activity, stronger muscles were associated with longevity.

To live long, be strong.

Strength turned out to be a key — and singular — contributor to longer lives, according to a new study, reducing the risk for early death by a third or more.

Me, this morning, leaving for the airport: "I think I may have packed too many books for this vacation."

Me, one hour into our flight: "I just finished my book. I think I may have packed too few books for this vacation."

Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

I was on Twitter for the writers and the book recommendations, the essays, the poetry, the community. I am here now for the same. I’m a nerd. Please reply with a favorite recent essay or poem or story or book recommendation, and thank you.

The Beginning Comes After the End
Notes on a World of Change
by Rebecca Solnit
Rebecca Solnit offers a thrilling account of the sheer breadth and scale of social, political, scientific, and cultural change over the past three quarters of a century.

In this sequel to her enduring bestseller Hope in the Dark, Solnit surveys a world that has changed dramatically since the year 1960. Despite the forces seeking to turn back the clock on history, change is not a possibility; it is an inevitability.

The changes amount to nothing less than dismantling an old civilization and building a new one, whose newness is often the return of the old ways and wisdoms. In this rising worldview, interconnection is a core idea and value. But because the transformation is obscured within a longer arc of history, its scale is seldom recognized.

While the white nationalist and authoritarian backlash drives individualism and isolation, this new world embraces antiracism, feminism, a more expansive understanding of gender, environmental thinking, scientific breakthroughs, and Indigenous and non-Western ideas, pointing toward a more interconnected, relational world.

I wrote a book! It's trickling out, already in some bookstores. And I'm doing a bunch of events for it (see below). More info on book in alt text.

In case you aren’t on Heated Rivalry social media the edits have started dipping into Audre Lorde and Marxist philosophy.
