A friendly reminder from a retired book cover designer: Your book's cover is supposed to match the tones and the overall themes of your book. Because your reader ideally should have to only get 1 look at your cover to know what it is and what its about.

AI has the potential to transform our economy, but we need to make sure workers and students are ready. I’m glad schools are thinking about how to make sure students use AI as a tool and not a crutch.

We may sail the seas for a lifetime and rarely, if ever, encounter the monsters that inhabit the oceans of this realm. But never forget that they are there, waiting in the darkness, waiting, for us to find them.

I’ve been through a lot worse than anything Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth can throw at me. And I'm not backing down, because this isn't about me — it's about you and every American's First Amendment right.

‘Not knowing whether a set of papyrus fragments were valuable or even genuine, the farmer dropped off a sample at the British Museum for an evaluation.

The expert who examined the papyri could identify them precisely because he had dug them up himself in Saqqara.’
