Climate science is the most significant scientific collaboration in history, and its lessons are a massive human achievement. “How We Came To Know Earth,” our new series, is a guide to the modern understanding of fundamental climate science. quantamagazine.org/series/climate…

@tsmullaney @AllanRicharz @atlasobscura Hi Tom, feel free to drop me a line about it! samir.patel@

@AllanRicharz @atlasobscura Do you know any of the editors there, by chance?

Making the 1st digital fonts for Chinese in the 70s & 80s was extremely hard work. Each character was 256 bits Or really: 256 choices re: where to put a pixel, or not, inside a tiny grid. 1000s of characters, 100s of 1000s of choices. HELP! Where can I pitch this article?

@sommermathis @CityMonitorAI This is the worst, so sorry Sommer.

Some truly crap news! NSMG has decided to shut down @CityMonitorAI just five months after we launched. Today is our last day. Before I say anything else, I’d like to tell you about this fantastic team. They’re all now available, and you should hire them.
