Systematic exploration of the underwater caves in Quintana Roo, Mexico began in Tulum in the mid-1980s. Various diving teams started exploring the region’s cenotes and discovered extensive passages that expanded as they connected their records.

"Man walks into a bar. It's the starting point for a million jokes," James Poniewozik writes in a Critic's Notebook. "And for season after season on 'Cheers,' some of the best of those were delivered by George Wendt, who died on Tuesday at age 76, as the long-suffering Norm Peterson."

Alice Notley passed away yesterday evening in Paris. She said a few years ago, “What can we learn from the fact that we don’t die?” I’m heartbroken, & heartbroken for everyone who knew & loved her, her work.

You should not build wealth just to build wealth. This is folly. You should build wealth to afford an old mansion big enough that all your relatives want it, but also haunted enough that it’ll be fun to watch them all try to live there long enough to win the deed to it after you’ve faked your death

I love philosophical dialogues, so I wrote one. It stars Credulus, who thinks consciousness can be attributed to other animals without scientific evidence; Skepticus, a critic with behaviourist leanings; and Moderus, who sees a middle path in the science of animal minds. philpapers.org/rec/BIRWIA-3

Addendum: I actually think you can see this most acutely with Mexican food, in that its ubiquity makes it easier to see how things have changed. Mexican has gone from meaning Taco Bell to most Americans to enchiladas and fajitas to "street" tacos and now to moles and birra and chilaquiles.

Really good post and also generally, a day job can be an amazing thing for creative people. Starving and/or chronic pain are not conducive to art. Nearly every creative person you know has a day job, or, rather more rarely, had one until it made no more economic sense to keep it anymore.
The thing full time music taught me was that it was terrifying to live on that edge, and that it wasn't conducive to making art. I was forced to take worse gigs and any unexpected expense screwed everything up. See also: sarahpinsker.com/blogs/blog/p...

This *hilarious* thread reminded me that when I first saw Scavenger's Reign I was convinced I'd seen this concept before. I was right. This is the 8 minute short by the same creator.
Enjoy one small piece of *beautiful* content.
