Sometimes it's just fun to look at Vintage People. You get a sense of what life was like 50 or 60 years ago.We'll start with this photo (dated June 1966) of some family members posing in front of their post-War home. The dog must be snoozing in the backyard! Mom leans on her son for an amusing tableau, while sis...
I briefly dated a guy from a dating app earlier this month. While I'm not looking for a life partner at the moment, I still struggle with feeling like I'm too picky. But on paper this seemed like a good match: we're both well educated and progressive, and we have a similar sense of humor and taste in music. He was...

This latest one may be a necessity for life to start, etc. Many decades ago, I had a prof say that he thought water properties would be the future big thing in biochemistry. I never forgot it.

Today, I want to share a story I consider one of his core teachings: The Death’s-Head. early graphic work of a skull with sepia...

But I might be going punting for the first time since 2007 this weekend, so at least I’ll be interacting with water in some way. (What I am definitely not doing is going on my church camp....
My son Daniel points me to a piece by Nate Silver which announces the discovery that highly educated workers with low or precarious income are the natural constituency of the Democratic Socialists of America. We’ve been over this at length at CT, starting as far back as 2012 (and it wasn’t new then). Given that...
