“Mid-career poets”? Is this by age? Or those that are Poet Grade 3 or 4? And how do you know they will still have a career? WHAT IF THEY DIE?
Three new collections by mid-career poets lay claim to stories of identity, suffering and hope, to a kind of collective subjectivity, to the inner life of a country in the throes of deep pain and uncertainty. n.pr/4864WeG
New poetry stresses that our stories are more precious and urgent than ever

What has she ever done? Has she ever made the Hyperloop? You did. Has she ever invented self-driving cars? You did that. Has she ever taken humanity to Mars? That is an accomplishment you have pulled off, that she never will.

Something I’ve noticed is there seems to be a sort of pervasive assumption that the status quo has gravity. That there’s a natural, comfortable way things should be and that deviations from the normal state of the world will correct themselves in time.
But as a paleontologist, I know this is false.

"journalist" should be a protected title, like "engineer". that if you misrepresent things, you lose your practice
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

One of the smartest things Costco does is assigning every shopper a “Costco Enemy,”who stays in front of them putting carts in stupid places and blocking the aisle and going really slowly. This gives the shopper 30% more browsing time and creates a memorable, provocative experience
