Yesterday, I suggested that the category 5 cyclone bearing down on India and Bangladesh in the midst of a pandemic and refugee crisis was a portent of climate cascades to come. Overnight, historic flooding breached two dams in Michigan, leaving Midland under 9 feet of water.
"This is perhaps the most distressing way that the pandemic is a preview of the climate future: What we are seeing now is not a vision of a worst-case scenario, in which destabilizing impacts run uncontrolled, but an adaptation success story." (1/2) nymag.com/intelligencer/2020…

During a pandemic, an intense cyclone is bearing down on India and Bangladesh, flooding has broken dams and submerged Michigan under 9 ft of water, hurricane season is around the corner and wildfires will follow. We have exited the “human climate niche.” nymag.com/intelligencer/2020…

Before Time magazine there was @poetswritersinc
A favorite cover #FromTheArchive. July/August 2001 featured an interview with Colson Whitehead on the occasion of his second novel, John Henry Days, which follows the classic tale of man replaced by machine from the Industrial Age to the Information Age.

A revolution has taken place in women’s intellectual life in the last 100 years. But the writing of women’s history lags behind. SQUARE HAUNTING by ⁦@francescawade⁩ & THE EQUIVALENTS by ⁦@magsrdoherty⁩, both fantastic, are helping it catch up. harpers.org/archive/2020/06/…

Just finished @NYTBen's excellent MBS and highly recommend it to anyone puzzled or outraged by Saudi Arabia. Brings to life both the powerful appeal of MBS's gift of a more normal social life to young Saudis and the absolute medieval horror of his crimes. penguinrandomhouse.com/books…

I'm struck by how thoroughly male this contretemps is, especially given the #MeToo subject matter at the heart of it. (One data point: Of the nine people whose words are quoted here, not a woman among them.) vanityfair.com/news/2020/05/…

'Davis's confrontational pose made for an unusually anxious workplace. At one NLR meeting, he stunned his audience into silence with the letter he had sent to Eugene Genovese, who had complained of being spurned by the journal: "Dear Professor Genovese, Fuck you."'

Journalistic high-mindedness from ⁦@benyt⁩, the guy who pubbed the Trump dossier without fact-checking a shred of it and who later refused to retract the Trump-instructed-Cohen-to-lie-to-Congress story. Rich with irony and quite brazen. nytimes.com/2020/05/17/busin…

Very worrying situation and bad precedent as Russian MFA demands FT and NYT publish retractions to their stories claiming Russian Covid-19 death toll is higher than official numbers show (pieces in question based on analysis of official public data). mobile.twitter.com/CurrentTi…

Судьба The Financial Times и The New York Times в России будет зависеть от того, опубликуют ли они опровержение распространенной ими "недостоверной информации" по статистике смертности в стране от COVID-19, заявила представитель МИД Мария Захарова currenttime.tv/a/russia-mid-…

That Jared Kushner interview sent me on a journey to find some photos of him from the years he owned the Observer. I failed! But I found these instead
