Lives lived. The past is gone, and yet never gone.

An underlying wonder, and paradox, of history.

Elyenore balances on a high pedestal beside (probably) her grandfather, John Corp. St Peter’s Stoke Fleming — the earliest brass memorial in Devon. The inscription in French says he died 1361, she 1391.

This is exactly what I was thinking reading this story. Thank you for the words.

I was trying to put my finger on what bothered me about this portrayal and I think it’s that it just takes the guy’s words at face value, like he was a nice guy and reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death just pushed him over the edge www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/u...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

It happened. Last night I was feeling despair about a lot of different things and I realized I needed to enlist my dog’s help to make me feel better.

I present to you Maggie the Pug as Cher Pugowitz.

Maggie the Pug is majorly, totally, butt crazy in love with Josh. She’s wearing Cher’s classic yellow plaid ensemble.

RIP #JaneGoodall. Ann Hui did this great piece last year www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/a...

Jane Goodall has been famous for decades. At 90, the primatologist still isn’t used to it

Her seminal work on the social lives of chimpanzees brought her into the spotlight. Here, she reflects on fame, activism and what comes next
