StoryBundle's In Translation bundle to benefit Global Voices Lingua: Interview My primary goal was that the bundle be representative of our broader world, without a focus on the regions most already represented in collections of translation.

How would you like to read 12 books from across the Global Majority—some newly translated just for this project—while contributing to Global Voices? 7 days left to get the In Translation StoryBundle for GV Lingua!

Ta-Da! I Built a Life Tracker That Won’t Guilt Trip Me.. Or You. How 4,322 days of meditation led me to build a kinder more joyful life logger.

I started 2026 resolving to learn to sing and avoid To Do lists. Rather than doing either of those i wrote an app that makes those both easier. And plenty more besides. Cheers robots 🤖🙏

Let's try this again 👋

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.

Countries that do not embrace AI could be left behind, says OpenAI’s George Osborne Without AI you will be a ‘weaker and poorer nation’, says former UK chancellor two months into job at US firm

"OpenAI’s George Osborne"
So, it is like a regular George Osborne but more sycophantic and more sinister?

11 year old Teodor Zajder just obliterated the world record for solving a 3x3 Rubik's cube. And earned himself $28,000 in 2.76 seconds.

I like the way Tom recognises we need to find our own writing routines, but, as we also have a Dymo Labelwriter, I’m going to try out his inspiration bottling idea.

The United States needs fewer bus stops - Works in Progress Magazine Bus stop balancing is fast, cheap, and effective. It can turn a service people tolerate into one they’re happy to use.

Cool story about how removing stops would benefit passengers because more of them would get places faster. But it did give me traumatic flashbacks to all the bus stop paradoxes in my college probability and statistics classes.

My theory: no self-respecting interstellar species is going to live on a planet. Living at the bottom of deep gravity well is stupid. It's like. well.. living at the bottom of a deep well. Plus in space you get optional gravity and full benefits of 3D space (50% more Ds than on earth!) 👽🛰️🌌

There's actually a lot of planets like this because sci-fi writers find it boring and hard having to work out a whole new calendar for each story.
