An excerpt from a book written by an ordinary German citizen about the rise of Nazism.
One of they biggest factors was *uncertainty,* and not wanting to look crazy.
We need to be certain. Insist on talking about it. Cite sources. Document everything. Print them out and distribute them, even.

As an em dash whore this makes me sad.
Apparently folks think that writing that contains an em dash is a dead giveaway that it's from ChatGPT, which I guess is a sign that most people have never read anything in their lives.

I remember in 2005 when Jude Law cheated on Sienna Miller with their nanny and I was like “what’s WRONG with him, Sienna is a CATCH” and my mom was like “it has actually nothing to do with her. there is just a certain type of man for whom nothing is ever enough”
I think about that like every day

What I can't get over is that these guys could get any physical gratification they wanted. They literally had to go out of their way to abuse people. It just feeds into my 2025 theme: fuck everything forever

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)
