"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.

“I have a PhD in atmospheric physics. I spent a decade measuring greenhouse gases from satellites. The thing that made me good at it was reading poetry. It trained me to notice what was not being said in a dataset. Every critical decision I made as a scientist was interpretation, not computation.”

Twenty years of defunding the disciplines that teach judgement. Now we are surprised nobody can tell when AI is wrong.

This is so cool! I'm smitten by this info: the contract "was written out twice on a large piece of parchment that was then cut in half along a wavy or tooth-shaped line" so they could be fitted back together to confirm their authenticity.
