A couple years ago, just before Black Friday, I decided to replace my old, cracked Apple Watch with a non-cracked equivalent. One thing led to another, and I had spent less than I’d planned on a nicer watch than I thought I could afford. The catch: It was refurbished. The “r” word used to be […] Read more ›

After all, a parrot is another mind — not exactly […] Read more ›

When Christopher Nolan began writing the screenplay for Oppenheimer in the early 2020s, his teenage son questioned whether anyone still cared about nuclear weapons. By the time the film was released in 2023, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin’s nuclear saber-rattling had thrust atomic anxieties back into public consciousness. The timing was coincidental, but […] Read more ›
