The DOJ’s Epstein document interface isn’t neutral.
It lets you examine fragments in exquisite detail while making the totality unseeable—Jameson's classic problem of cognitive mapping, rendered as UX. Folks often forget that distant reading is how you see the forest when power insists on trees.

My solitary 2026 goal is to move to a walkable neighborhood so that school/childcare is less likely to be canceled and I’m not stuck inside with a feral raccoon three-year-old three days after a storm.

I also write deeds of gift that license published and unpublished works differently. Sure, keep copyright to your book (for a little while, at least)! But we're going to need you to give your correspondence and drafts etc. to the public domain if you want us to care for your materials indefinitely.

My next quixotic archives quest is to dig everyone kicking and screaming toward a more copyleft IP regime. We have donors sign contracts anyway! You can make them do smart things with copyrights! (From the boilerplate that I ask curators to send potential donors).
