Recovering Roundup

A response to the M. Szalavitz NYT column on AA, many good books, robots who write your novel, filters that make you sad, a hormone that makes you un-drunk, a playlist that makes you chill

This week, Ten Things Right Now is its own post, like it used to be until a year ago when I merged it with the weekly essay in order to “do less work” (haha). I am curious (and just curious), do you like it this way? Sent as a separate email? Or are you liking having everything in one email, once a week?

There are some announcements at the bottom (a live appearance in London in April, mostly), and not to totally bait you but there’s a cat video in here too. I’m sorry, but there is also an absolutely too-long response (#14) to Maia S. NYT Op-Ed on AA alternatives, which I considered splitting out into its own post, but it’s Friday, we’re tired. Maybe skip #14, go straight to the cat video.

Comments are off today.

Much love. H
