Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of...

Jonathan Haidt’s Anxious Generation is a must read for thinking about how social media is changing - and maybe ruining - adolescence in the West. For one thing, it’s made me a lot less active on this site. https://t.co/GP9SBuU1jb

After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than...

Rare for a former tech CEO to get second billing on an AI book, but Henry Kissinger knows a thing or two about how technology can change the balance of world power. I could not put it down, but sometimes it thought too far in the future to be helpful. https://t.co/Mur5FSYgS2

You mean you didn’t like the nine hour series that answered the question “what if Boba Fett ran an HOA?”?
Boba Fett returned and unsurprisingly, not even a healthy dose of Grogu could save the finale. Showing his decision up front removed any drama. Boba Fett is a nice guy and now Tatooine is a happy place? Eh. This was an unnecessary series and a big miss by Disney.
