Tom was, all round, a scholar and a gent. My dad envied his quietly perfect artist’s wardrobe and treasured his friendship. As did I.
Travel well. I hope the wine’s okay.

Farewell Tom Stoppard. I know I'm supposed to consider "Arcadia" your best work, but there's no improving on Brazil's taut first hour & the office dialogue in particular.

Been thinking a lot about Charlie the Unicorn lately and how, underneath the curtain of random early internet humor, it's a great commentary on the destructiveness of late stage capitalism and how in a world where you have no real power, justified anger is the one thing that can't be taken from you.

It has been 20 years since the release of "Charlie the Unicorn," a cartoon I created as a birthday gift for my mom. To celebrate Charlie's 20th anniversary I recorded a conversation with my mom about the cartoon and its unexpected success.

Yes, and also, leave X if you have not already
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The theory in the paper is that it's not the superhero per se, but that unexpected events in general increase mindfulness and thus pro-social behavior
So act weird and make people behave better.

Science will often take you to unexpected and delightful places. In this study, researchers hypothesized that riders in a crowded subway car would be more likely to offer their seat to a pregnant person if there were someone in the subway car dressed as Batman 🧪🦇

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.
