(2/2) My favorite part of the conversation there was the comment that said that people who write essays like mine never ever leave their urban environment, which I read in my office here in rural America, where I can look out my office window and see three separate agricultural fields.

There is a mockingbird in our neighborhood who has decided that 2 AM is his best opportunity to show off his impressively wide range of alarm inspired calls.

Breaking: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) bans, by executive order, gender-affirming surgery for minors, effective immediately. The move followed last week's veto of a broader bill. He also announced two proposed rules that will apply to all care, including adults. substack.com/profile/2269...

We can stop doing experiments on this now! We know the outcome! It's always the same outcome! Just give people money!
Another basic income pilot focused on homelessness has released preliminary results after only 6 months because halfway through the experiment, it is already showing incredible effectiveness.
$750/mo for 6 months led to homelessness dropping to 12% versus 23% in the control group on a wait list.

$750 a month, no questions asked, improved the lives of homeless people
A study by USC and a San Francisco-based nonprofit has found that a $750 monthly stipend improves the lives of homeless people.

Maintenance Phase by @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @yrfatfriend.bsky.social is probably my favorite science podcast. It covers the wellness industry, and I especially enjoyed their episodes on school lunches, Oprah vs Beef, RFK Jr, and the President’s Physical Fitness Test: www.maintenancephase.com

I wholeheartedly recommend Starter Villain by John Scalzi. If you loved the banter and one-upmanship in Fuzzy Nation, you won't be disappointed here.

Was going to comment and realized my comment was not all that relevant as it was historical rather than contemporary. But, if you want to be grossed out about going barefoot, I have a book recommendation for that: "American Murderer: The Parasite That Haunted The South" by Gail Jarrow

Anyone else find the resumption of "Bed, Bath, and Beyond" emails a little eerie? I get what Overstock is doing of course, but the zombie mailing list thing feels weird.
