* “The Silence Doctors Are Keeping About Millennials’ Death.” Germane to me for obvious reasons; our culture denies both death and grief and seems not able to incorporate either, particularly when death is premature. My own end feels so close, particularly because my days, such as they are, are filled with pain and exhaustion.
* “How can we get the world to talk about factory farming?” We probably can’t, until we can replace conventional meat with lab-grown meat. Then we’ll spend a lot of time about how bad people were to animals in the old days. Also, “A Hundred Years of Mocking Vegetarians: For a rare lifestyle choice, vegetarianism tends to drive people pretty bonkers.” Vegetarians are basically morally correct, and that makes the rest of us uncomfortable, so we lash out.
* “Immunotherapy Is Transforming Cancer Treatment and Oncology.”
* “Human history in the very long run.” I’m sad that I only get to see half the slice of human history I ought to see.
* Neal Stephenson’s writing process.
* “What working in a New York City restaurant was like circa 2000” (NY’er, $). Early Bourdain, before TV made him into something different.
* “Vibecamp & Porcfest: An Ethnography of The Internet’s Edge.” Offensive at times.
* Russia is losing a lot, hard, in Ukraine. Plus, “Leaks reveal how Russia’s foreign intelligence agency runs disinformation campaigns in the West.”
* How to Build High-Speed Rail in America.
* London needs 20 million+ people.
* “Immutep Reports Positive Results in First Line Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients with Negative PD-L1 Expression.” These results are amazing: PD-L1 expression of greater than 1 is advised and perhaps necessary for Keytruda to have some chance of working. Mine was 5 in one test and 20 in another, and I failed Keytruda (or rather it failed me). These are really the kinds of results that, for a fatal diagnosis like head and neck cancer. “Efti” is the name of the drug.
* Tesla continues to become a partisan brand, which is likely to hurt it in the both the short and long term.
* More on why Rome missed an Industrial Revolution.
* “Writing the first draft of financial history with Byrne Hobart.” Hobart and patio11 together!
* Restricting housing supply is a bad idea.
* “Puzzles about oncology and clinical trials.” Me from 2023, still sadly relevant.
