I am writing a book about THE TIME!

@RDEIL Hi Richard, I'm Nate—a journalist who is working on a book about civil timekeeping, including the history of GPS. I tried to contact you via the GPS Declassified site, but I'm getting an error message. Could you send me a personal email address, perhaps via direct message?

[Nate Hopper @NDHopper]

@RossMcCammon So happy for you, man—congratulations!

The world’s time, to which all clocks are set, comes from small national labs, @NDHopper writes. In the digital era, no such lab had operated in a war zone until Russia invaded Ukraine: https://t.co/U7PHvalBfe

[Nate Hopper @NDHopper]

In my first piece for @TheAtlantic, I wrote about the man keeping Ukraine's time—an act that requires perpetual care—in a city that has been relentlessly bombed for years. https://t.co/4IZglJwMA7

Sorry to do the “hey I wrote a long form about a person” thing but I did a story on Mal Swanson (then Pugh) 5 years ago and every time she shines I think of this

@ImmortanJo3 Hi Joe. I'm reporting an article about Ukrainian time. Would you be up for talking with me? You can DM me here, or you can email me at [email protected].

[Nate Hopper @NDHopper]

@wyatt_williams Hell yeah. I've been exactly there. Best of luck.

Man, @maggierogers is a real one — generous, smart, funny, a little wild at heart. Loved spending the last couple months talking art, writing, love, service, time, contentment, fame & more with her. Online now & in this week’s issue!

@AmaOyake Thank you, Ama. I really appreciate that.

In the weeks before his sentencing for 11 crimes on Jan. 6th, Brian Mock pleads his case to the person whose opinion he values most: the son who turned him in to the FBI. https://t.co/bPlwT0UEES

New John Jeremiah Sullivan in @harpers: a prose poem about plumbing, plumbers, and the dark forces it takes to, as it were, find the clog.

(The profile honestly could be good to read before seeing the film, too. It offers a side entry into Oppenheimer's life and provides useful context.)

[Nate Hopper @NDHopper]

For anyone who was charmed by the portrayal of I. I. Rabi in "Oppenheimer," and made curious about his own discoveries and the era of physics the film depicts, I'd recommend this two-part New Yorker profile of him from 1975: https://t.co/DHWvdJmi35 & https://t.co/mP8lUzpkio
