I often think of pursuing my PhD, but at other times I catch myself cutting bread with the dull side of the knife and I realize that maybe I should simply be content that I’ve made it this far.

We asked readers what would make caregiving easier. Hundreds of you responded, dreaming of free mental health counseling, universal respite care and more. Are those things possible? I spoke with care and policy experts to find out.

it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

James Watson, who used crucial research about DNA from fellow scientist Rosalind Franklin without her permission, who talked so much shit about her after she died, and who later went to claim that Black people aren't as intelligent as white people, died at 97.

There. Fixed it for you.

“In this case, two of Ohio’s four largest cities—the beating hearts of entire regions—are essentially drawn out of existence as a matter of representation.

It’s voter suppression and dilution 101.”

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Octopuses are aliens — or, at least, so vastly different in their genetic makeup that they might as well be considered out of this world.

Few authors have more informed (and reshaped) my understanding of American history than Isabel Wilkerson.

I had the honor and thrill of hearing her speak the other night, and she shared a story and lesson I will never forget.

Today in 1983 Stanislav Petrov saved the human race.

On duty at the Soviet early warning command centre, he refused to warn superiors of radar reports of an incoming US strike. It proved to be a false alarm. If the Soviets had responded it would have been all out nuclear war.
