    Here’s what I read this week: 1. This scientific study accidentally included a working citation of “(Should we cite the crappy Gabor paper here?)” I felt so many waves of secondhand embarrassment. 2. What makes a child an art prodigy? 3. If you haven’t seen Too Many Cooks yet, watch it and read this. 4. I…

    Happy Halloween! Here’s what I read this week: 1. Sweden has its own national font now, which I think is creepy and a bad idea. The Blackletter font became synonymous with the Third Reich, and I don’t think that’s a good thing to follow up on. 2. I’m not part of a sorority, but this…

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. Rei Kawakubo is fascinating. 2. Apparently, the oceans could lose $1 trillion in value because of acidification. I don’t really understand how they quantified that, but maybe if we attach a financial cost to something like this, people will pay more attention to what we’re doing to something we can’t…

Maybe my undergraduate thesis will be as forward-thinking as George Gallup’s. 3. There’s this thing called Whiteness Project that you should probably be aware of.…

    The past few days have been a little crazy, but I did have some time to read a few really great articles. Here’s what I read: 1. Stevie Nicks and Haim in one interview. Life is beautiful. 2. Some scientists found some ancient cave paintings in Indonesia, and they predate the European ones. And because these paintings are so much…

    You made it through the week, and now you deserve a few great things to read. Here are some of the things I read: 1. Is Google making me stupid? Sometimes I wonder. 2. Steven Pinker, whose work I first encountered in a language acquisition class last winter, has a new book about grammar out. He doesn’t like…

    In honor of it being Friday, here are some of the cooler things I read this week: 1. My Monday morning instantly got better when I stumbled across this unearthed Ezra Koenig short story from his Columbia days. 2. I could dig being French wherever I am. 3. What we talk about when we talk about what…
