This has always made sense to me, and it’s a bit shocking that we’re so apt to forget it www.thefp.com/p/arthur-brook…

Text Shot: Putting strictly moral questions aside, serious academic research finds that adulterous behavior is an accurate predictor of professional misconduct, duplicitousness, low conscientiousness, and a tendency to betray promises.

Something about this feels like an apt synecdoche of our era

The week's greatest (read: saddest) sports story comes from the Enhanced Games, a new Vegas-based competition showcasing athletes openly using steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), and vowing to crush records in marquee events like the 100-meter dash and the 100-meter freestyle swim. Interestingly, a competitor who vowed he'd "juice to the gills" performed worse than he did when he couldn't use drugs. Even more embarrassing: The 50-meter backstroke winner was a non-enhanced athlete, thus, writes James Dator for SB Nation, "tearing apart the entire premise for the games." All told, one world record was beaten while three unenhanced athletes won their events. It's a victory for man over pharma.

I’ve been reading James K.A. Smith’s "Make Your Home in This Luminous Dark" and was taken aback by this passage commenting on Teresa of Ávila’s "Interior Castle": www.danielmoch.com/posts/2026/0...

One of the threads of Teresa’s Interior Castle that is so prescient and timely is her attunement to the fears and anxieties that lurk within us—anxieties only amped up by late modernity. … What are we afraid of? … At bottom, Teresa suggests, we are afraid of being misunderstood, unseen, unrecognized, bereft of love. We want to be known, recognized, liberated because we are loved as we are.

Last night I started reading The Hobbit to my children, and they went to pieces as I read this exchange:

“Good morning!” said Bilbo, and he meant it. The sun was shining, and the grass was very green. But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out further than the brim of his shady hat.

“What do you mean?” he said. “Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”

“All of them at once,” said Bilbo.

2. Explicit and consistent API’s
3. Paved/Golden Paths
4. Modularity
5. Platform as a Product
5. Core Requirements

"Caring fatherly wide forehead" is ... not a phrase I'm 100% comfortable with? "Smiling like a jerk" I get though.

This lede didn’t age well.

New report on Rachael Gunn opening: “‘Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.’ That quote from George Bernard Shaw, often thrown disparagingly at teachers, has been convincingly debunked by Australian Olympian Rachael Gunn.”

They can’t help but sound menacing … pretty weird.

CNN report reading, “Reports of Project 2025’s demise would be greatly welcomed and should serve as notice to anyone or any group trying to misrepresent their influence with President Trump and his campaign — it will not end well for you.”
