I've been so focused on random search for ospreys returning that the first swallows skimming the lake surprised me and made me glad for the season's strength and the birds return to pick off bugs and build their nests across Seattle's favorite lake. It reminded me of Verlyn Klinkenborg's beautiful ode to changing climate, swallows migration and life on the move.

Beautiful story about a primatologist who changed the way we understand orangutans, and ourselves as hairless apes that swim. Primatologist Birutė Galdikas died  on March 24, 2026, and an era of science that began in the forests of Tanzania, Rwanda and Borneo studying humanity’s closest living relatives more than half a century ago is coming quietly to a close. Her passing marks more than the loss of a scientist – it’s the end of one of the most extraordinary chapters in mod

Pep Guardiola has condemned conflicts around the world including the genocide in Palestine, war in Ukraine and civil war in Sudan in a heartfelt statement. He asked how anyone could defend the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti by ICE in Minnesota and said humanity is “better than ever in terms of possibilities … but it’s still right not we kill each other - for what?” The Manchester City manager made the comments at a press conference ahead of the second leg of the Carab

Limiting the attention I give to the machine and its e

M. Gessen via New York Times After the past three weeks of brutality in Minneapolis, it should no longer be possible to say that the Trump administration seeks merely to govern this nation. It seeks to reduce us all to a state of constant fear — a fear of violence from which some people may at a given moment be spared, but from which no one will ever be truly safe. That is our new national reality. State terror has arrived. Please look at this list with me. Since early Januar

I didn't write the following-- looks like AI, but I think it does a good job of getting us thinking about two things in the end:  Here are 10 questions that work like social superglue. Each comes with a quick breakdown of why  it works, and how to use it. “What’s something most people misunderstand about you?” Why it works:  People LOVE feeling seen and understood.
