My physics class in high school toured a coal-fired plant, and we talked to some workers who went from plant to plant doing very specialized maintenance. Trying to be polite, I said “wow, sounds interesting” and the lead guy looked me in the eye and said “stay in school, kid”

Been thinking about Andy Crouch’s framework for thinking about technologies: they either promise 1. You will be able to _____ or 2. You won’t have to ______ But there’s a hidden promise there: “you’ll be able to” implies “you’ll have to” and “you won’t have to” implies “you won’t be able to”

there is a wide variety of purposes for writing - to inform, to entertain, to convince - but sometimes, the purpose of writing is to hear what a particular person thinks or feels or wants to say to you in particular. Homilies, sermons, love letters, even some political speeches. Good for the Pope.

Republicans, in their infinite wisdom, left a big gambling loophole in the Medicaid work requirements. I'm no fan of the gambling industry, but if you are on Medicaid and struggling to deal with the work requirements, taking a $580 bet on both sides of an outcome is one way of getting around them.

I’m currently reading ”The Proof is in the Code” and it’s unexpectedly engaging, partially because it’s a window into math culture, as detailed in the link below www.quantabooks.org/books/the-pr...

A recurrent theme in this excellent story about China’s progress is that people there regard Trump as essential to their success, including his ability to drive scientific talent from the US www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

In Beijing, a think tank at Renmin University recently published an assessment titled
"Thank Trump," which wryly hailed his efforts to hasten the "twilight of an empire," by undermining America's alliances, civil service, scientific institutions, and democratic credibility. In the past two years, the international approval rating of the U.S. has dropped nearly forty points, according to a worldwide survey by the Alliance of Democracies; in multiple polls, China now rates higher than the U.S.
