The three-way battle for the Democratic Party [ungated] - "It's the left vs. the establishment vs. Abundance. Here's your guide to what's happening."

while the framing is unnecessarily provocative (imo!) -- their areas of agreement[1] overlap far more than they conflict -- the narcissism of small difference[2,3] and (perceived) indivisibility of stakes[4,5] can make 'getting to denmark' (or finland) seem fraught :P also btw... This Sci-Fi Dictator Explains Our Political Crisis: "how the future-predicting science of psychohistory is similar to something we have in our world - economics."[6]

An essential divide between the vast wasteland of television and the fertile biomes of literature persisted from TV's formal maturation in the 1950s roughly through the beginning of the millennium, when television became "quality" and people stopped writing novels about how watching too much of it can amuse you to death. Suddenly, it turned out, watching TV wasn't bad for you after all — in fact it was good for you, pretty much as good as reading. from New TV Novels [N+1; ungated]

Tilburg girl finds live scorpion in backpack ordered from Shein. A 9-year-old girl in Tilburg (the Netherlands) got a terrifying surprise this week when she discovered a live scorpion inside a new backpack ordered from the Chinese webshop Shein, Omroep Brabant reports. The venomous animal had survived the trip from China and was only removed from the family's home after a series of frantic efforts by the mother, Jacqueline van Rooij.

This follows an incident from October 2024 when a student in Bristol, Britain found a scorpion crawling inside a Shein parcel. Sofia Alonso-Mossinger found the creature in a bag of boots which she had ordered online.
