"It makes me sad to think about a young person who might never cultivate the process of self-discovery that takes place in writing, which is inseparable from thinking—at least the kind of thinking that we associate with complex reasoning and self-knowledge." Meghan O’Gieblyn in the NYRB

As a father and a small nerd, I endorse this sentiment. But don't limit yourself: get it for any sentient creature who likes to (a) read, (b) think thoughts, and (c) support a local philosopher.

Plato with a speech bubble, apparently supporting the idea that ethics has no outside. Still unclear what his position on skull calipers is, though.

Posting here is like skipping stones on water. Most of the time the stone sinks immediately, but sometimes it seems to bounce forever. It skips on and on, out of sight, and a day later it hits you on the back of the head.

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

Watching various Australian politicians being conned by US defence creeps or AI data-centre hucksters reminds me of when we had to change my dad’s email passwords to stop him being scammed. It’s excruciating and we need an intervention.
