為什麼我的Spotify 低迴音樂歌單突然都不夠低迴了？

找不到夠安靜的歌，於是乾脆打開Metal

Why does my chill Spotify playlist suddenly sound too awake?

Couldn’t find anything quiet enough… so I just turned on Metal.

I just got the Taiwanese edition of The Light Eaters in the mail. This is just elite book design

Writing separately, but, I'd like to share a brief honest reflection on the experience of writing our paper on climate change health impact attribution, which is to date probably the hardest and most frustrating project of 100+ I've published in 15 years as a scientist.

Should We Expect More from Dads? Two new books assess our contemporary scripts for fatherhood.

How might a future of more baby-exposed men evolve norms around masculinity and manhood?

The Texas Floods Were a Preview of What’s to Come Mounting evidence shows no US state is safe from the flooding that ravaged Texas’ Kerr Country.

There are historical cases, going back hundreds or thousands of years, of humans reacting quickly to climate change. And then there is the current case of humans both causing the climate change and refusing to react to it.

Elon Musk Also Has a Problem with Wikipedia Lately, Musk’s beef has merged with a general conviction on the right that the site is biased against conservatives.

Book Tour 2025, Attention, Social Media, Not Bullshit — Roden newsletter issue 099 Let's go on a book tour, high-five in person, and not get sucked into terrible corners of the internet

Very succinct: Social media "isn’t the place where the art is created." — @craigmod.com in his most recent newsletter craigmod.com/roden/099/

A balanced argument doesn’t weigh two sides equally. It weighs the strongest evidence more heavily.

Critical thinking isn't about representing every view. It's about recognizing your biases, and giving serious consideration to facts that contradict your hopes and beliefs.

Criticizing is fast and easy. Creating is slow and difficult.

The two hours you spent on a book or movie took someone two years to produce.

Anyone can tear down someone else's work. The true test of insight is whether you can help them improve it or build something of your own.

Britain leads the world in cracking down on climate activism, study finds Research shows UK police arrest environmental and climate protesters at three times the average global rate

New research finds Britain is a “world-leader” in legal crackdown on climate & environmental activism.

UK police are arresting protesters at 3 x average global rate.

Rather than tackling issues provoking such protest, the state’s focus is on punishing dissent.

Aglantha digitale, the pink helmet, is one of my favorite new to me species of 2024. Tiny, delicate, and shimmery with rainbows. What more could one ask for? #insertaninvert2024 #inverts #jellies #salishsea

Posting here made me think—what’s the point of the likes? I mean, for me, not for Meta

My new favorite word: sonder.

It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.

Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.
