Backyard Parkour: Parent Edition, a field experiment in signaling. My 7yo designed a parcours with high entry costs, then performed it to credibly reveal real talent to parents (+ birds). Parents: cheering. Birds: peer review pending. Vibe-enhanced video proof! (revise & resubmit)

I’m raising a rebel with manners: fluent in love, literate in rules, bold enough to rewrite them from the grassroots: not the throne. Iran’s revolution? A chapter. Relationships? The spine. Excellence? Only if it makes room for everyone. That’s my legacy. Yeah, you read it right!

You sort of start understanding Pablo Neruda when the Pacific begins punctuating your thoughts: foam for commas, rocks for exclamation points. Isla Negra doesn’t teach poetry; it reminds you the sea already wrote it.

Happy 2026! Less “breaking news,” more breaking bread: family, fireworks, and an uneventful year (best compliment). May the algorithm be gentle. Hope is the thing with feathers; it outflies the doomscroll. Demain, dès l’aube, on y va. ✨

In July of 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered one of the greatest speeches in US history. Today it’s often presented in abridged form, though, and skips what seems like a long-winded introduction. If you read the intro closely, however, there’s an ingenious structure. THREAD👇🏽

Netherlands releases names of more than 400,000 accused Nazi collaborators
Hundreds of thousands of people in the Netherlands have been looking for their relatives in a new database containing the names of some 425,000 people investigated for collaboration with the Nazis during World War II. Nazi collaboration is a controversial topic in the Netherlands and much of Europe
