Democrats flipped both chambers of Congress on Tuesday, and the markets shed $2 trillion. What we want is safety rather than power, and the Seville Statement's insistence that war isn't in our nature. On Salon announcing its end after thirty years, and why nothing we build is promised permanence. On Ginsburg's pendulum, bell hooks' optimism, Shakespeare's seven ages, and the decomposers that break down finished work so something new can grow.

Cults Like Us

An "engrossing, unputdownable" (Amanda Montell, New York Times bestselling author) pop history that explains why the eccentric doomsday beliefs of our Puritan founders are still driving American culture today, contextualizes the current rise in far-right extremism as a natural result of our latent indoctrination, and proposes that the United States is the largest cult of all. Since the Mayflower sidled up to Plymouth Rock, cult ideology has been ingrained in the DNA of the United States. In this eye-opening book, journalist Jane Borden argues that Puritan doomsday belief never went away; it went secular and became American culture. From our fascination with cowboys and superheroes to our allegiance to influencers and self-help, susceptibility to advertising, and undying devotion to the self-made man, Americans remain particularly vulnerable to a specific brand of cult-like thinking. With in-depth research and compelling insight, Borden uncovers the American history you didn’t learn in school, including how we are still being brainwashed, making us a nation of easy marks for con artists and strong men. Along the way, she also revisits some of the most fascinating cults in this country—including, the Mankind United and Love Has Won—presenting them as integral parts of our national psyche rather than aberrations.

Unless you want OCD, stop seeking ideological purity.

A while back, Hank Green admitted to using AI, and was honest about how it had hurt his cognition. As a result, he was founded by anti-AI ideologues dogpiling him for having ever used it in the first place, particularly on Bluesky and Reddit, the latter where I saw someone justifying said harassment because it...

In Defence of Vent Posting

Drawing on my decade of experience as a 7cups Listener and research on emotional sharing, I argue in defense of vent posting. Venting is a natural human need for connection and validation, not a character flaw. Community support and empathy are essential medicine, and we should meet people where they are rather than moralizing their coping mechanisms.

Cat Hicks – The Psychology of Software Teams

This book gave psychological context to many things I had already observed at work: learning needs time, performance depends on the environment, and belonging matters. Software development is social, not individual. Sustainable teams need room for learning, problem-solving and helping others instead of constantly optimizing for short-term output.
