The ratio of "unflinching" to "flinching" in literary reviews is so completely out of whack given how much more useful the latter is — the flinch is arguably contemporary literature's signature move

There’s nothing more avant-garde than the sensory assault a nephew wages during the final approach of bedtime

Soccer I love when they hold up the sign and a brand new beautiful boy takes the place of a dirty sweaty ruined one

Guy who’s crowing about RCP 8.5 and climate alarmism who actively wants to pursue the RCP 8.5 policy mix

Do you think we are stupid . Pathetic

Huge development in my study of the relationship between trivia and the avant-garde: John Cage absolutely demolished Italy's most popular quiz show

BIG SCOOP: Energy reps tell me the Trump administration is now extrajudicially blocking all new wind projects in the United States

Apparently the Pentagon is refusing to sign off on FAA airspace clearances even when military assets aren’t around

“Comfortable in his own skin” is the latest addition to my collection of right wingers adopting the language of self-worth and affirmation to the point of absurdity

Had my second opportunity to meet privately with @JDVance today. While the details of the conversation will remain private, I will share that while he’s already a devastatingly effective messenger when on task, in private he also comes across very comfortable in his own skin.

@RogerPielkeJr What, then, do you make of Hansen et al.'s claims that forcing is actually still tracking RCP8.5? Even if emissions don't take that route, surely forcing is what matters in terms of impact.

[Harrison @hm_whit]

Typically disgusting of the admin to use taxpayer money to bribe companies into *not* developing clean energy infrastructure, but all the more craven of the companies themselves to agree to build LNG facilities instead. Where is the revolt over this? https://t.co/zi3HTrZ7Eo

What an excellent final to top off this series of #UniversityChallenge! Selfishly, I was particularly happy to see players make short work of some of my questions on the Exeter Book, fire in classical music, and, of course, flags that vex vexillologists. Well done to both teams!

happy tax day courtesy of elaine may and mike nichols, who were commissioned by the national and state organizations of certified public accountants to make some PSAs about filing your taxes on time

Victor Wembanyama after being asked about his thoughts on the environment:

“Of course, I care a lot about it, and I feel a certain guilt about polluting so much as someone who flies 41 times a season.

But..I want to have an impact, and I want to counteract this negative carbon footprint through whatever impact I can, financially [or] socially, I want to have an impact for the future...Investing, yes, but not for profit.”

This may be a joke but it’s a thought that crosses my mind basically every day

todays new comic from stan kelly genuinely is a masterclass. no idea how he does it

Sometimes you think you become jaded of all the fun facts … Samuel Beckett and Andre the Giant … Pascal and the roulette wheel … and then you find a diamond as big as the Ritz

40-50% of the nitrogen atoms in the human body ultimately come from synthetic nitrogen fertilisers (produced via the Haber-Bosch process).

[Nick Kapur @nick_kapur]

Absolute insanity - the Trump administration wants to pay nearly $1 billion of taxpayer dollars to a private French company to *not* build wind farms off the East Coast

[Harrison @hm_whit]

I preferred human writing all 5 times on the NYT quiz; the one thing that really shocked me was that the majority of people prefer Claude's horrible science writing to Sagan's? "It is to feel implicated in something vast" — one of the limpest formulations possible!

[Stefan Schubert @StefanFSchubert]

From a climate change pov, is it better to eat locally produced beef or imported fruit and vegetables?

The difference is huge: since transport only accounts for 5% of carbon emissions from food, what you eat completely dominates where it comes from.
