CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?
DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.

The Australian children’s social media ban is unworkable but its popularity rests on an unspoken, widely-held, reasonable desire: we, adults want it for ourselves.

in the silurian we did get the first vascular plants but that’s probably not enough to hold together a river bank, so you’d have vast shallow deltas carrying sand out to what is now the eastern third of Australia

Lots of people in America and across the EU talk about ETA/ESTA as if they're real visa impediments! Nobody really knows what a migrant actually goes through, let alone one from any poorer country than their own
