Love these ideas!!! Thanks, Jon!!

@jonthego.bsky.social Imagine you had to be in Toulouse around Memorial Day, and you can manage a 10-day getaway. What/where are you prioritizing? And are you thinking road trip?

It’s good to alternate and inhabit other mental spaces! I would also recommend you read Braiding Sweetgrass if you haven’t yet. I know you particularly would love it.

I want to strongly recommend this book. It’s a beautiful fictional telling of the birth of quantum physics, knowing the unknowable, and existing outside of paradigms: When We Cease to Understand the World by Benjamin Labatut.

those sons of bitches won’t do anything good for the people

@mcmegan.bsky.social Your WaPo piece giving Elmo the benefit of the doubt for his “gesture” is not merely benign hackery. It doesn’t matter what he says he intended; No one in that position should be excused from making the most loaded and appalling gesture in modern history.
