I hope you’re doing well and have a quick recovery, Christina!

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Wes Cook and the Centralia McDonald's Mural A personal story about discovering a mural in a McDonald's, an unknown artist named Wes Cook, saving the mural, and a conference talk about the whole thing.

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.)

finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk.

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards, transfer money or book everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary

Worth noting that even as Trump bombs Venezuela to unilaterally seize Maduro on domestic US charges, the ICC judges who voted to investigate US war crimes in Afghanistan face such severe US banking sanctions that they are for all intents and purposes excluded from modern life.

Frankincense is a special kind of incense that smells like hot dogs.

If you burn some, nobody will mess with you.

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

a very meowy christmas for all who celebrate!

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

Sticker showing white fluffy bear sitting in snow while it chews on the corner of a solar panel array. A GNSS antenna with radome is mounted on a pole behind the solar panel. Behind the bear is a large red enclosure. It this was a real GNSS site, the enclosure would house the GNSS receiver, other electronics, and batteries.

I deeply relate to this new EarthScope sticker. I deal with brown bears instead of polar bears, but the behavior is the same. Intelligent, curious creatures who are sometimes complete jerks around GNSS stations. ⚒️🧪

It was my pleasure to chat with @mkbhd.com on the latest episode of Cortex.

We got to talk about how he builds his reviews, writes scripts, collaborates with his team, and how he manages the pressure of creating at massive scale.

I really hope you enjoy this episode.

The 2025 Kottke Holiday Gift Guide Since 2013, I’ve done a holiday gift guide that’s basically a curated roundup of stuff from the best gift guides I can find. I always do it a little bit differently from year to year, and last year I went with a simple list and it worked well.

I just updated the 2025 Kottke Gift Guide with some new suggestions, including inflatable tube men (for your front yard; your neighbors will love!), some of the year’s best cookbooks, ramen kits from Japan, and some low- of no-spend gifts. [kottke.org]

Initializing @Observable classes within the SwiftUI hierarchy Learn the recommended ways to initialize and store @Observable classes in SwiftUI views, and see what can go wrong when observable state is managed incorrectly.

It's not always obvious what is the right way to initialize an Observable within the SwiftUI view hierarchy, and what are the consequences of getting it wrong, so I wrote a blog post exploring some common use cases: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Initial...
