every quantitative measure is actually a stack of qualitative assumptions in a trenchcoat

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Four panel b&w Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. In panels 1-3, Calvin has a watering can and addressing himself to a few flowers in the ground, with increasing stridency:

“SO YOU WANT SOME WATER, HUH? WELL, IVE GOT A BIG CAN OF IT HERE.”

“ITS UP TO ME TO DECIDE IF YOU GET WATER OR NOT! I CONTROL YOUR FATE! YOUR VERY LIVES ARE IN MY HANDS!”

“WITHOUT ME YOU'RE AS GOOD AS DEAD! WITHOUT ME, YOU DON'T....”

In the fourth panel, it is pouring rain. 

Calvin looks nonplussed.

Came across this old Calvin and Hobbes cartoon today and immediately thought about the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

*glances at headlines*

No, no reason.

Third graders in Steubenville, Ohio, are some of the best little readers in the nation. What’s their secret? An elementary school in Ohio has some of the best young readers in the nation. How they did it—and how a new law put it all at risk.

great story! you can probably guess the exact point where I started screaming internally and the exact point where I stopped. revealnews.org/podcast/sold...

so yes, you can transform a CBS or a CNN into right-wing slop, and yes that will have an impact, but it is also true that americans will have access to a large universe of other information AND they will continue to build new venues for telling stories about the world and sharing their views…

The future of Xbox is vague and contradictory, with just a glimmer of hope What to make of new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma? What is Phil Spencer's legacy? And is there hope for Xbox's future under Microsoft?

god only knows what's going on over in xbox land right now, but I agree it's not *entirely* implausible that there's a glass cliff situation happening here? MESS. www.eurogamer.net/future-of-xb...
