people misunderstand the icarus story. the problem was not that he flew too high. it's that the wings were made of beeswax, which offered very little resistance to heating. with modern materials he would have had no problems. we can fly as close to the sun as we want now

The great sin of our age is incuriosity. People are not motivated to learn, they are not motivated to pursue knowledge. We need a generation of students that are hyper-literate, a generation that rejoices in reading. If there's any hope for the future, it begins in the library.

the baby experienced the full spectrum of baby feelings today: joy, curiosity, gentleness, chicken, not allowed to touch guitar, weeping, laughing, leg stuck in crib, bathtime, fear of Santa, throw almonds in car, realizing he can hit me with a tennis racket, yelling at bedtime

One time in college I had to memorize like every French verb conjugation for a test and I made a mind palace to store and retrieve them all and it completely worked and then I never did that again for anything else

My university library system added a link that takes you directly to a PDF from the search results and it feels like the greatest triumph of user experience that's ever been achieved.

Modern academic: “I hope the person who wrote the article I’m responding to gets my subtle dig in footnote 17” 19th century academic: “…here I respond to my enemies, impotent of body and feeble of mind”

For the past several years, Matthew Boedy has been working on a book about Turning Point USA and its founder Charlie Kirk. Boedy’s publication day was three weeks away when Kirk was assassinated—and what was initially going to be a book with a somewhat niche readership now has a national audience. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

remembering the young white man in my Shakespeare class who came to my office hours & said he wanted my job & asked what he needed to do to get it. I told him to prepare for a hard, long, competitive process but when he heard my salary was just 60K a year he said “nevermind.” there’s no money in Shakespeare, folks.

Very disappointed by the symbolism of last night’s dream. Just really obvious, derivative stuff.
