This is a great, great album. Riveting on an emotional level and full of surprises and wonder on a technical level. More than once I thought, "how did she do that?" So much to hear here. quietdetails.bandcamp.com/album/tecton...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you’re getting angry with your young child because they are boring or annoying, something I found extremely helpful is to draw a curly mustache on them with eyeliner pencil. Then what, you’re mad at a little circus acrobat? A miniature old-timey strongman?

“Some kind of big demonstration.”

I like getting into dreamland and recognizing the weird locales that have been with my subconscious for years. Ah yes, there is Unnervingly Tall Hotel, which means Dilapidated Bridge I Must Cross On Foot is just around this corner

So much public health work involves spreadsheets. This reporting is a wonderful spotlight on the compassion and humanism that motivates the people providing direct services as well as those who are deep in cell formulas trying to make the best funding decisions they can under extreme uncertainty.
After USAID got cut, I asked GiveWell if @planetmoney.bsky.social could ride along as they tried to figure out if and how to jump into the void. They said yes. They recorded weeks and weeks of deliberations. Here is the episode about it: www.npr.org/2025/11/26/n...
