No, it isn’t “brave” or “courageous” or “principled” to prove unable to resist the centrifugal pull of hyper-polarization! (Understandable, maybe — but not a virtue.)

Part of what I hate about “do you condemn *this*?” Twitter is that if there’s really even the slightest doubt in your mind about whether I condemn that, well, then there’s really not much hope of our ever having a fruitful relationship, is there

Not to join the dunking (well, maybe) but I think at a certain level of an author’s popularity, claims like this become almost objectively wrong. You just cannot achieve that sort of resonance with that many people without touching something deeply true in the human experience

We want writers that will push the boundaries of what it means to travel. Writers that will put their lives on the line in the name of exploration. Writers that will spend months in the wilderness for the perfect story.

Pay starts at ÂŁ200

“To what extent are these obvious bigots typical or atypical of the wider body of protestors?” is one of those questions that absolutely definitively cannot be answered via information on social media. You’ll find whatever evidence you want to find, in volume

If you’re confused by the clocks changing, just remember it’s now an hour earlier than your body clock thinks, meaning that the real time is one hour later than the time it would have been at this time yesterday, if it was this time, which it isn’t because it’s an hour later

This is really good and clearly articulates much of what’s been so rubbish on this platform. Being in the grip of emotion is deeply forgivable, but for any of us not in the absolutely direct line of trauma, it’s our JOB to resist the polarizing urge unherd.com/2023/10/how-th…

This piece makes me see more clearly that those most prominent in modern political debate may get there because they are *less* able than the average person to take the most obvious in-the-round position on, among other things, the horrifying killings of innocent people

I wonder to what degree a certain kind of attitude toward the future arises from being worse than average at imagining things
