Stars, Cops, and a Status Board
Katie Paterson’s work at the Turner Contemporary, Margate. See a brief video of the exhibition here.
A powerful photo essay on black cops in Atlanta
- When we look back and ask how the computers came to tyrannize over us, we’ll realize that the turning point came when they learned how to play Pictionary.
- Or maybe when they learned to play Hanabi.
- I’m very grateful to Bishop John Bauerschmidt for these reflections on my book How to Think.
Some housekeeping notes: I know that many newsletter-writers send on a regular schedule, but I haven’t been doing that. Basically I drop things of interest into a text file and when it looks like I have enough stuff I send it. I hope that’s okay — but if you have a strong preference for regularity please let me know. I am open to change. And feedback in general is welcome! — though at times I can struggle to keep up with email sufficiently well to reply.
I’ve also decided to add something to the bottom of each issue called the Status Board. See below.
STATUS BOARD
- Work: reading Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age and Plato’s Gorgias; writing about people who are really into the Stoics
- Music: This YouTube channel is my current music to work to
- Reading: Jemar Tisby, The Color of Compromise
- Podcasts: National Review’s The Editors — maybe the only really excellent political podcast out there, and yeah, some of those dudes are friends of mine, so take that into account
- Food: In-n-Out, baby!
- Drink: Aberlour 16 (I splurged, not apologizing)
