Happy birthday Alexander von Humboldt! A man who warned about harmful human-induced climate change. Clearly we didn’t listen.

Parenting tip from a non-parent: Get your kid into something that isn't commoditized. If something is big enough for investors, it stops being interesting to college people.
For our Cover Story, Caitlin Moscatello reports on how private leagues have made youth sports expensive, hypercompetitive, and all-consuming — while investors are making a killing. tinyurl.com/btba8fhn

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Prop 40 in California seems like a good idea. The French economist, Gabriel Zucman, makes a convincing case for the 5% wealth tax for billionaires as way to address wealth inequality and having a healthy democratic society.

Yesterday, my child learned to swim by doggy paddling. It was so awesome to see. She is getting more comfortable being in the water, especially with her big jumps into the pool.

Finished the latest book in the Children of Time series by @aptshadow.bsky.social Quite the page turner. He wrote some really loathsome characters. I can think of a few people that could fit their profile. There was a line somewhere in the book that said, "there is always another way." I liked that.
