D'Angelo - Untitled (How Does It Feel) (Live @ Zénith Paris) [2012-01-29]
Can’t think of another artist who so purely transmitted the feeling of longing into music. RIP.

Do Animals Know That They Will Die?
An existential mystery
Every Sunday I try to catch up on reading long form articles. This one from @rossandersen.bsky.social about animals and mortality has been on my "to read" list for about a year.
Finally read it and I high recommend! 🐘

Are Humans Watching Animals Too Closely?
Some may crave a little privacy, even your dog.
"We can’t say what dogs’ preferences might be under different circumstances. But we do know that they have not chosen all of the intimacies that we impose upon them." go read @rossandersen.bsky.social's latest

Thank you @rossandersen.bsky.social for a gorgeously written (alternately funny and distressing) story that has created a new intrusive thought for me: Does my dog have enough privacy???? www.theatlantic.com/science/2025...

Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad
The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.
I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Every Scientific Empire Comes to an End
America’s run as the premier techno-superpower may be over.
"Not since the Red Scare .. has American science been so beholden to political ideology." I'm late to this brilliant @rossandersen.bsky.social piece, but it's a must-read (gift link): www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Twenty Years After the Storm
What home meant before, and after, Hurricane Katrina
20 years ago this month, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. For so many New Orleanians, our lives are demarcated by this moment. If someone ask you about an event or memory from the past, we say “was it before or after the storm?” On this twentieth anniversary, I wrote about going back home.

This reads a bit like an obituary for American science. Or a murder story from the crime beat.

The attack on our universities, the lack of respect for education and expertise, the attack on medical research to keep us healthy, what purpose does it serve? It makes our country weaker.

"Every scientific empire falls, but not at the same speed, or for the same reasons."
Fascinating article on the history of scientific empires. Soviet science, at its zenith in the mid-1950s, collapsed entirely in the late 1980s. And now American science has begun its collapse.

“The future of Soviet science was looking grim…One by one, he watched them start new lives elsewhere. Many…went to the U.S. At the time, America was the most compelling destination for scientific talent in the world. It would remain so until earlier this year” www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

The rapid decline of American science has few precedents in history, writes @rossandersen.bsky.social. We are witnessing an unparalleled act of self-sabotage: https://theatln.tc/6OLrjo4V
