If the world is getting a little too much may I recommend the inexplicably obsolete word ‘latibulating’, from the 17th century? To latibulate is to find a cosy corner somewhere and hide in it.

I've refrained from posting anything of my own about 9/11 today until now. On this 25th anniversary, I've been at a loss for words, knowing everything that day brought.
In violence. In chaos. In grief. In wars that followed and defined a generation.
I keep turning back to the inspiring acts of that day and the love of that was in them. There is some comfort and an example for us there.
Sometimes, that's all we get.

4 Months ago Stormzy couldn't walk with a brain injury. He'd been told he had to be put to sleep.
Today I got to go and visit him in his new home.
The world needs more Stormzy right now!!! Can't stop smiling after today

Holy smokes! Philosophy enrolments at Sydney Uni are popping off.
Our core 1st year subject, PHIL1011: Reality, Ethics and Beauty, has 705 enrolments. First-year Logic has 424.
Who knows why, but I’d like to think that in an age of distraction and AI, philosophy is back.

Woke up this morning to MASSIVE global outage affecting trains, planes, banks, supermarkets around the world. Sky News off air. Microsoft says it’s investigating a US cloud issue. Lots of fingers pointing at an anti-virus update from cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike.

Longtime Rolling Stone contributor and National Magazine Award-winning journalist Evan Wright, whose reporting on the Iraq War served as the basis for the book and television series 'Generation Kill,' has died at age 59 trib.al/0NA5Xd5

This is unfortunately true. @evanscribe was one of the first friends and mentors I had in journalism—met him in Iraq in 2007 when I was 19 and spotted him surrounded by Marine fans at Camp Victory—and he was a generous, hilarious friend ever since. He had a wife and young kids.

Lost in the news cycle but Evan Wright, author of Generation Kill, died by suicide on Friday. He was only 59. What a terrible loss.
