Keith Johnson: While settling on the epithet of "communist!" for his adversaries, Trump is doubling down on the idea of state control of the means of production, acquiring controlling stakes in over 30 formerly private companies. This is definitional communism. They count on the public not noticing.

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

As a scholar of science, technology, and power, reading Theo Baker's How To Rule the World feels like reading a horror novel. Slush funds, fraud, insider trading, tax evasion--and that's just the prologue. I'm almost afraid to turn the page to see how higher ed turns out. But I think we know.

The journal Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences (HSNS) is inviting short essays (800-1K words) revisiting "classic" works in the history of the natural sciences. These will be collected in a special issue planned for 2027. If you have an idea, please contact me. (I'm an associate editor)

Data centers are a physical manifestation of AI infrastructure and they've become a flashpoint precisely because they're tractable. They exist in specific places, consume specific resources, can be seen and pointed to. I spoke with @lorenaoneil.com @rollingstone.com about our urgent AI reckoning.

While Washington wages war on science, NASA just sent humans to the Moon's vicinity for the first time since 1972. Bravo #TeamNASA — proof that public science, when it's funded and trusted, still does extraordinary things.
