When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

“Hype thus relies on numbers, predictions, and other performative rituals of certainty to generate collective belief around what is, in reality, a far more limited set of technical capabilities and scientific evidence.”

PEN America congratulates Anne Carson on winning the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature. A poet, a translator, an essayist and classicist — for four decades, Carson’s groundbreaking work has defied convention, made us question the nature of language, and brought the classical world into the present.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

Alternatively, since it’s the pocket, 1) cut the whole thing off and enjoy your pocket-free shirt, 2) cut the pocket off and replace the whole thing w/ new fabric (easier with a machine, but handwork could be cool, too).

Wash the shirt a few more times & things should soften up a bunch.

4) apply the patch, pin for stability, and sew all over, in zigzags or a grid or whatever. You don’t want to make the thing so rigid it’s uncomfortable, but you want the fabrics to become as one.

1) whipstitch the rips that look like slits, 2) sew a running stitch around the edge of the rounder holes to nudge them away from stretching more, 3) find a similar weight knit in a matching or contrasting color, cut a patch that covers all damage + at least half an inch, then

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
