I buy a ton of books because I'm not good at predicting what I'll want to read next, and I like to have options.

Misha Collins and Timothy Snyder were not on my bingo card!
Join my conversation with Misha Collins tomorrow, Wed. Jan. 28 at 12:30 PM ET – we'll be talking about Minnesota, Ukraine, and defending democracy.
We’ve all seen the paramilitary forces in US cities ignoring due process. We’re starting to wonder: will democracy survive?
We need guidance, so tomorrow 1/28 @ 12:30 PM ET we’re talking LIVE with expert on combating authoritarianism & author of On Tyranny, Timothy Snyder! mishacollins.substack.com

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Nestled in the St. Paul’s library and suddenly *overcome* by a sense of loss for...card catalogues??
I miss the tactile, the full physicality of library life. I miss being hidden in stacks. I miss dust. I miss random learned-looking spiders. I miss the smell of old paper. Paper made learning sexy.

Working yourself into the ground for years on end is the key.
Tons of people have "PhD-level" intelligence. The fun secret is that you don't have to be all that smart to earn a PhD. You just have to be willing to work yourself into the ground for years on end.
Also...PhD's often seem extra smart 'cause you generally encounter them on their chosen terrain.

Very cool.
Black truffles are most often associated with the European countryside.
But as wild truffle habitats have declined, truffle farms in the U.S. are taking root.
