The Bay Area has come so far since the 1960s. What will the VCs discover next? Peace and love?
Is it possible for a town to have too many trees? My experience suggests not. Among towns I've seen, the more trees they had, the better it felt to be in them.

Snark aside, the more that powerful people reconsider the value of nature, the better, of course. Let’s “solve for” trees, Paul!

Zach’s got it right.
This crowd is deranged. Massive wealth accumulators who can't manage to see beauty on living breathing Earth.

USA’s Antonee Robinson consoles Iran’s Ramin Rezaian after America’s victory. Iran’s regime has tried hard to brainwash its people against the US, but most Americans who’ve been to Iran will tell you it’s among the friendliest places they’ve ever visited.

Love some of these ‘failure’ cases of text-to-3D. “A DSLR photo of a frog wearing sweater.”

I have been tracking this for years: the slow erosion of belief in what used to be newsroom objectivity. Excerpt from today's @CJR: It used to be her job to divorce herself from such emotions. That's how newsroom objectivity worked. Now she can flip it around: "let it inform me."

The Standard Model officially welcomes a new member to its particle family with the discovery of the odderon. A type of “glueball”, it consists of 3 gluons - fundamental particles that bind quarks to make things like protons and neutrons. It was first theorized to exist in 1973.

Ok, well after ignoring countless headlines about the show, I think I have to watch it now. If the themes are half as interesting as this thread it’ll be worth it.
The last episode of Wandavision is about the danger of letting grief & rage make you into a monster. It's not about slavemasters but it is about manipulation. Some of you have never engaged with comics or storytelling & it shows.

This great guy!
“If it wasn’t my job I would do it for free. It was absolutely my pleasure to crush a white nationalist insurrection,” he said. “And we’ll do it as many times as it takes.”

Of all the songs about the importance of city planning principles that engender a sense of place, this is my favorite. youtube.com/watch?v=g4huTLnY…
I haven’t checked out this book in particular, but resources like this are a great idea in general. Lots of big journalists have not been to journalism school and besides, new challenges emerge (synthetic media, e.g.).
Recommended weekend read from our @datajournalism team: The free #Verification Handbook, supported by @craignewmark, is full of practical guidelines to debunk rumours and #misinformation. 👇 buff.ly/2Wh7EcR

Also, the CNN/Bellingcat investigation that made this insane clip possible is just solid work.
I'm very sympathetic to the idea that, as a culture, we should emphasize the maintenance of things of collective value that already exist and bring a little more skepticism to disruptive replacements.
"Better respect for maintenance would make for better, and more valuable, innovation." Alex Pang reads "The Innovation Delusion: How Our Obsession with the New Has Disrupted the Work That Matters Most" by Lee Vinsel and Andrew L. Russell. ow.ly/JKWA50CshM4
