I was consulted recently by an editor of an interdisciplinary journal who was ready to retract a paper based on hallucinated citations. It’s a real research integrity problem, and it’s arriving in humanities and social sciences publishing. (It’s already been a problem in STEM.)

Should Canada have won? Nah. This gold will motivate the next generations of American hockey players. It's amazing. And this stupid conservative cultural moment will die. Hockey will continue.

I was born in MI, hockey is a religion in my house. Myself and another member of my family played Hockey at a high level. The fact that a US Olympic squad, made up largely of Michiganders from the Detroit suburbs, partied with Kash Patel is as heartbreaking as it is unsurprising.

my new piece in FP: The US keeps telling people to rise up against their regimes, then leaving them to die. Hungary, Iraq, Syria...now Iran? I try to offer an explanation for this very consistent pattern. (gift link) foreignpolicy.com/2026/01/16/t...

Despite all the negative things about academia/grad school (dealing with AI, funding cuts, some people being snobs), I do think being able to travel and look at old documents in archives, museums, and libraries (and then write about it) is a pretty rad job

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.

Somebody could defuse this whole Greenland obsession by explaining the Mercator projection to Trump.
