Leaders were reasonably concerned that responding to good-faith concern with authority and threats would lead to loss of trust and pointless resistance, but they did not foresee that responding to bad-faith concern with honest engagement and flexibility would cause the same thing.

Thirty years ago today, the scientist Clair Patterson passed away. He campaigned tirelessly and effectively to remove lead from gasoline, paint, pipes, and food cans. The drop in violent crime that correlates with this change? Massive.

Oh my god, say it louder. LOUDERRRRR.
Note to publishers/online booksellers/etc.: If your online preview of a work doesn't make it through the introduction, you may be doing it wrong.
It is rare that the introduction is the part we want to sample.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Sen. Kelly: “[Trump] is ignorant to the Constitution and has no regard for the rule of law…I will not be intimidated by this president. I am not going to be silenced by this president or the people around him because I've given too much in service to this country to back down to this guy.”

College students are shuffling through school without doing any reading or writing. Tech is trying to automate the making of music. You get called pretentious for insisting that people know basic words. We are regressing by every measure.

No offense but I think we underestimate how many of our current problems, both cultural and political, are downstream of the decline in reading, the decline in learning and the loss of interest in the humanities.

I've been an artist since I could hold a crayon. I lost my right eye before that, but it never stopped me from drawing what I could see, in the real world and in my imagination. 40 years later, I have arthritis in my hands, migraines, and back problems, but I'm still creating. There is no excuse.
If one more able bodied person attempts to tell me, a disabled artist, that genAI is an accessibility tool, I'm gonna start smashing their hands with hammers. You wanna speak about disability issues, fine, you get to become one of us.
