This is a fabulous anthology; seeds of a new beginning.

I'm honored to contribute an essay to The All American's anthology, "Out of Many, One" alongside @SlaughterAM, @ilyseh & 25 other patriots about the concept of American Universalism and what it means to each of us in this moment of uncertainty. theallamerican.com

@Microsoft you have to fix Swiftkey -- 3 out of 4 times when I hit the microphone it says "oops, something went wrong" and it takes a second or two before you can then hit the microphone and dictate.

@DKThomp I just signed up; I particularly look forward to writings on social isolation. Biggest issue I have with abundance is its focus on material abundance rather than social connection. direct.mit.edu/daed/article/1…

Some personal news. Today, I’m leaving The Atlantic after almost 17 years and moving my writing to Substack. It would be convenient, for the purposes of crafting an exciting departure announcement, to have a dramatic exit story: a fight, a grievance, a shouting match with an editor that ended with me hurling a bunch of leather-backed Thoreau volumes across the open-plan office. That is not the case here. I love The Atlantic, and I'll remain a contributing writer there. But after almost two decades at one publication, I wanted to write for myself. The things I've published that I'm most proud of—whether it was the original abundance agenda essay, or my piece on workism—emerged from a very personal expression of frustration, or confusion, or curiosity. I want to know what my thinking and writing is like if I lean into a more independent and personal writing life. That's brought me to Substack, which is already home to an astonishing share of my overall reading. I'm excited to join their community and excited to build my own. The name of the newsletter should be easy to remember: Derek Thompson. The newsletter will have three main pillars 1. Abundance 2. The frontier of science and technology—GLP1s, AI, biotech, energy breakthroughs—covered in a way that’s both curious and skeptical 3. The anti-social century & the social crises of anxiety and aloneness Thanks to The Atlantic for 16.8 incredible years and thanks to everybody who follows me across the river. - dt

Thrilled to see @elizabethw723's 'How to Fall in Love with Questions' hit shelves! In a world of quick answers, her book is a vital reminder of the power of curiosity & deep inquiry. We need more of this kind of thinking. Highly recommend. #Questions #Curiosity #CriticalThinking [Link to book]"

Read, RT, and repost. We need to find the courage not only to speak up, as Rachel did, but also to speak TO one another. Imagine if there had not been a chilly silence but an actual discussion. It may have made no difference; that's what we so often assume. But it's worth a try.

Follow and RT.

The University of Missouri is part of the Soybean Innovation Lab. Missouri, as a state, is #7 in the nation for soybean production. It is our #1 crop. The annual on farm value of Missouri’s soybean crop is more than $2.5 billion. #moleg @GovMikeKehoe /1

The men from the "8th and H" case, covered in @NewAmerica's podcast The Alley, seek a pardon from President Biden before he leaves office. These innocent men deserve justice, and you can sign a letter of support here: 8thandhjustice.org #PardonTheDC8

Excited about our 3-year project with @NSF @NSFDrPanch to build the capacity of community colleges for inclusive economic development, industrial policy, and CHIPS Act implementation. Thanks to these organizations for partnering with us on this endeavor! newamerica.org/education-poli…

This is important.

.@SlaughterAM discusses how the next U.S. president can strike the right balance between geopolitical competition and global cooperation: foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

Middle East peace is possible. But for this vision to become reality, the United Nations Security Council must step up and do its duty to end the cycle of loss and destruction faced by countless families—Palestinian, Israeli, Syrian, and beyond.

My read of the week is @SlaughterAM’s @ForeignAffairs piece, “How America Can Succeed in a Multialigned World: The Importance of Building Truly Global Partnerships.” Here’s an excerpt. foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

I will be discussing this article on All Things Considered on @NPR this afternoon.
