The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining. We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines. It's great, I love it.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

“I have too many books” -judgemental -boring -implies impulse-control issues “The books... they have me.” - mysterious - occult - implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage #readingcommunity

As someone who is always second-guessing my craft, I sometimes I wish fiction reviews were more like gymnastics scoring: “5/5 for technique, 4/5 for execution, but 2/5 for personal taste. You’ve got a lot of skill and I think this was well-done, but it just wasn’t my cup of tea.”

Found this buried on page 6 of today's times. If there had been a Tory government this would have been a front page banner headline.
