If this story is correct, Joe Biden has just done more than any president before him to check the expansion of dirty energy (and helped American consumers at the same time). Such thanks to all who fought so long, starting with @Mzozane⁩ nytimes.com/2024/01/24/clima…

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica. Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event. Hang onto your hats. HT @EliotJacobson

The best journalistic take I’ve seen yet on our political malaise is @Emilynussbaum’s deep dive into the current state of country music. Even if you have zero interest in country music, you must read it. newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Country Music’s Culture Wars and the Remaking of Nashville

Tennessee’s government has turned hard red, but a new set of outlaw songwriters is challenging Music City’s conservative ways—and ruling bro-country sound.

‘Dykes to Watch Out For,’ Now Holding Forth in Your Headphones (Published 2023)

The long-running comic strip by Alison Bechdel, the creator of “Fun Home,” first held up a mirror to its queer readership in 1983. So what does a new audio adaptation have to say to listeners today?

Their high school canceled an LGBTQ play. These teens put it on anyway.

Their high school canceled an LGBTQ play. These teens put it on anyway.

Their Indiana school rejected "Marian." So, after three frenzied weeks of preparation, they took their revolt offsite — and staged it at an outdoor theater.
