Novels' sentences are much shorter than they used to be.
Part of this is about punctuation: we use periods as people used to use semi-colons. And shorter sentences aren't necessarily simpler to read, since jargon can condense complicated ideas.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Our friend Peracca's Plump Toad is a very rare species of toad who lives in the Andes of southern Colombia and northern Ecuador! They are one of a few toads who are born directly as small toads and do not have a tadpole stage! (photo by Augustin Bussac)

Dooming lets folks off the hook. It is a cynical fantasy of justified disengagement, since the alternative - taking your lumps and DOING THE WORK - requires actual strategy, sacrifice, and effort.

As dozens of frog species have declined across Central America, scientists have witnessed a remarkable chain of events: With fewer tadpoles to eat mosquito larvae, rates of mosquito-borne malaria in the region have climbed, resulting in a fivefold increase in cases. https://wapo.st/4paBuuT

Global solar output in first 3 quarters of 2025 already surpassed total output in all of 2024.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
