The procession is about to begin. Just outside the convention center ballroom, King Pokémon stands hunched, his tall frame bent forward, anticipating. With his warm eyes and smooth jowls, he’s more gentle giant than monarch. And dressed as he is, in sweatpants and sneakers, he’s more common folk…

Social Media ist voll mit Fotos von kleinen, süßen Affenbabys. Stars und Influencer:innen posen und kuscheln mit Orang-Utan- oder Schimpansen-Babys. Doch dahinter steckt unfassbares Leid: Affen-Babys werden ihren Eltern entrissen, damit Menschen ihnen ganz nah sein können. Tiertrainer:innen wie der…

Oops, sie haben es wieder getan: Ein alter weisser Mann hat öffent­liche Kritik an über­holten patri­ar­chalen und rassi­sti­schen Macht­struk­turen – oder: „Cancel Culture“ – mit einem Konzen­tra­ti­ons­lager vergli­chen. Auf die Frage von Mode­rator Yves Bossart, ob heute eine gewisse Tole­ranz…

“The Martian” by Andy Weir, and its film adaptation directed by Ridley Scott, remain some of my all time favorite science fiction works. Way back in the day I wrote a technical commentary. I last read the book in 2015 (until 2 weeks ago) and watched the film in 2018. More recently I’ve been…

In the spring of 1998, Kipland Kinkel, then 15, shot and killed his mother, his father and two students at Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon. He wounded 25 others. At the time, the country was only beginning to fear that mass shootings at schools might actually become a trend. A shooting…

Only 15 months ago — March 13, 2020 — COVID-19 became a national emergency in the United States. My assumption at the time was that COVID lockdowns could extend as long as five years, the previous spe

I can no longer feel the top of my head. Apparently it takes 3-5 months to regain sensation up there, and some people never get the feeling back. Oh well, what do you need to feel things from the top of your head for anyway? But, it’s truly bizarre touching the top of my head and only getting…

One afternoon in late November of last year, Timnit Gebru was sitting on the couch in her San Francisco Bay Area home, crying. Gebru, a researcher at Google, had just clicked out of a last-minute video meeting with an executive named Megan Kacholia, who had issued a jarring command. Gebru was the…

I know that you know you’re being watched. But I’m not sure you realize the extent of it, or its implications. Hundreds of corporations that you’ve never heard of, as well as many governments around t

During a pandemic, no one’s health is fully in their own hands. No field should understand that more deeply than public health, a discipline distinct from medicine. Whereas doctors and nurses treat sick individuals in front of them, public-health practitioners work to prevent sickness in entire…

On a recent trip to Cuba I brought with me a smartphone and hoped to get Internet access either via WiFi or 3G. I managed that (at a price) but also saw for myself how Cubans get access to an alternat

I. At the height of the events in Poland, just at the time when the trade union Solidarnosc was being outlawed, I received a letter stamped NIE CENZUROWANO. What exactly did these words mean? They were probably supposed to indicate that the country from which it came was free of censorship. But it…

Als Podcast anhören Einer, der in den letzten Monaten stark darunter gelitten hat, ist der Wissenschaftler, der sich wohl am stärksten für die öffentliche Aufklärung in Sachen Sars-CoV-2 eingesetzt hat: Christian Drosten, Virologe von der Berliner Charité. Für viele ist er zu der Leitfigur in der…

The Hair Dryer Incident was probably the biggest dispute I’ve seen in the mental hospital where I work. Most of the time all the psychiatrists get along and have pretty much the same opinion about important things, but people were at each other’s throats about the Hair Dryer Incident. Basically,…

One day in late September 2020, the Kludsky family – Yvonne, a slim, blond woman in her 60s, her husband, George, who is over 80 but still fit and strong, and their son Martyn – led their elephant up a ramp into the 10-metre trailer that constituted her second home. Dumba went willingly, as always;…

The other day, Johnny Knoxville came across a relic from his past buried in a drawer at home. “I found a packet of those things at the house,” he said. “What do you call it? I can't remember what they were called.” He paused, searching for the word. Eventually, he found it. “Yeah, the catheter,” he…

For the first 20 years of my working life I wrote for a living; mostly for television and well enough to earn the occasional accolade to put in a frame or a shiny thing for the mantelpiece. Working with words was my sustenance and pleasure. That was before depression crept darkly into the light open…

Maybe it’s the recipe’s “lukewarm scalded milk” that spills on the bottom corner of the page. Fountain pen ink swims up to meet it, ghosting the words below. No matter. Mary made her Easter Bread and Nut Roll so many times since she wrote it down in 1960—the date safe and crisp up at the top—that…

A moment ago I awoke from a nightmare about 9/11. I was visiting the Empire State Building in New York when an airplane crashed into it from the side. The whole building buckled for a moment, then nothing else seemed to happen. I was by myself, without any friends or family, and I just ran down to…

A good philosophy to live by at work is to “always be quitting”. No, don’t be constantly thinking of leaving your job 😱. But act as if you might leave on short notice 😎. Counterintuitively, this will make you a better engineer and open up growth opportunities. A thread 👇. So what does it mean to…

“Playing With Time” is a new mind-blowing 1.5-minute video by Macro Room in which a man bends time and space in slow motion. It was created entirely with a high-speed camera with clever planning and editing. Ben Ouaniche, the Tel-Aviv, Israel-based visual art director who founded Macro Room in 2016,…
