  1. A quotation from Abraham Fortas

    Any departure from absolute regimentation may cause trouble. Any variation from the majority’s opinion may inspire fear. Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the view of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our Constitution says we must take this risk, and our history says that it is this sort of hazardous freedom — this kind of openness — that is the basis of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of Americans who grow up and live in this relatively permissive, often disputatious, society.

    Abraham Fortas (1910–1982) American academic, jurist, lawyer; US Supreme Court Justice (1965–69)
    Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503, 508 (1969) [majority opinion]

  12. The universe appears to be expanding faster than our current model predicts — and James Webb has now strengthened the case that the discrepancy is real, not just a flaw in Hubble’s measurements.

    <p>The Hubble tension is not a disagreement about whether the universe is expanding

  13. Something has shifted in the way we speak to one another

    There was a time (not even that long ago) when #disagreement was considered healthy

    Friends could argue #politics over dinner, colleagues #debate #ideas in meetings, families could hold entirely #opposing views & still sit together on Sunday afternoon

    Somewhere along the way, that ability has disappeared

    Since the #pandemic, something fundamental shifted in the way we speak to one another

  18. WHY I APPROVE ALL COMMENTS ON MY BLOGS, EVEN THE ONES THAT DISAGREE WITH ME

    There’s a very specific kind of expectation people have when they land on a personal blog in 2026. They assume moderation, they assume curation, they assume that whatever comment section exists has already been filtered through some invisible lens of approval, agreement, or comfort.
