Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.

McMAHON: Here's the other thing -- where are our guidance counselors in high schoolers?
DURBIN: Good question. You're cutting the number of counselors in these schools at the same time!

Dispatch from the Midwest: Here in Indiana, our governor just signed the budget eliminating $7.4 million in state funding for our local PBS and NPR affiliates while expanding the private school voucher program to be universal, regardless of a family's income. So there's that.

The premise in Neil Postman's 1985 Amusing Ourselves to Death was that "form excludes the content," speaking mostly of television news. Feels like @chrislhayes.bsky.social has written a 2025 edition and I'm looking forward to it.
I wrote an essay about our bottomless thirst for diversion and how avoiding boredom is the engine of modern life. It’s based on the research I did for my book.

Wisdom doesn’t come from experience. It comes from reflecting on experience.
Between ages 25 and 75, the correlation between age and wisdom is zero.
Gaining insight and perspective is not about the number of years you've lived. It's about the number of lessons you've learned.
