And if you're interested in knowing what Taylor Swift has to say about the history and politics of U.S. humanitarian aid... you'll find the answer on pp. 14-16 of the roundtable.

Every other nuclear-aspirant is watching Ukraine today and saying "mental note: never give up your nukes." Amidst everything else, we might be watching the utter breakdown of the nonproliferation regime today

Now THAT'S some fucking ART.

Look, landscapes and geometric studies and reclining nudes are great, but our present moment calls for more giant boulders dropped on the avatars of late-stage capitalism.

I wrote an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times last year for the non-changing of the Doomsday Clock, and the difficulty of treating climate change with the same countdown metaphor. As it didn't change this year, either, I think it is still appropriate?

As we think about the place of history of science on the web (and celebrate our first official post here), let's look at a great paper from the archives. David K. Hecht's 2011 article about Rachel Carson, "nonscientific attributes were central in legitimating Carson as a public scientist."

NEW! I might have alarmed Catherine McNeur with my enthusiasm, because I love her work so much -- including her new MISCHIEVOUS CREATURES. In this ep, I asked how she writes beautifully about place and learned this book resulted from multiple archival surprises. 🗃️ draftingthepast.com/podcast-epis...
