A female grizzly bear sits up while surround by small branches and a rock face behind her.

Day 6 of #ArtAdventCalendar: I was watching this Grizzly Bear and her cub when she stopped for a moment, sat up, and seemed to just take in the view as the sun began to set. #wildlife

Brain Rot Without Borders | Baffler Forum There’s no point in denying it anymore: literature as we know it is well on its way to becoming a lost art.

Literature is being drowned out by state propaganda, misinformation, and sentimental slop. This is a global problem.

The poptimists and sloptimists have won. Our new issue, “After Words,” describes our postliterate moment, when everything from serious criticism to literary fiction to children’s books seems on the verge of being replaced by content trash.

David Lynch, predicting a future he was fortunate enough not to see.

Gibberish responding to gibberish

The End of Aid | Laura Robson USAID’s own work has never been anything other than self-serving.

“USAID—created by John F. Kennedy via executive order in 1961—was explicitly designed around American interests and conceived as a way to help impoverished populations around the developing world to resist the siren call of Soviet-style communism.”

A photo of groundcherries (Alkekengi) in a garden in winter. The round, orange, cherry tomato-like fruits are suspended in the center of pendulous, vaguely heart-shaped husks made of networks of dried beige veins. The husks have a delicate, skeletal, lattice-like structure, reminiscent of laser-cut papercraft.

In winter through early spring, you can sometimes find unspoiled, still-bright groundcherries sitting in the latticed remnants of their husks, like hearts suspended in paper ribcages

A cuneiform tablet with writing on it.

For me, the most incredible artefacts from the ancient world are the letters people wrote on clay tablets and sent to one another over thousands of years in Mesopotamia, going back to more than 5,000 years ago.

They contain recognisable humanity, warmth and humour. Here's a thread of my favourites.
