Here's the danger for Twitter in Elon Musk's view of free speech absolutism
There seem to be almost as many opinions about whether Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter will be good for the platform or bad as there are Twitter users (about 206 million, at last count).So let's stipulate that nobody knows whether Musk will be good or bad for Twitter.

Putin's war is shattering my Russian identity
“Russia is not Putin.” As a lecturer in Russian history, and an ex-Soviet Russian American, I have said these words many times.

Toss mask mandates for good
The Biden administration's latest defeat in its stubborn fight to keep in place COVID-19 safety protocols should bring the president to the reality that Americans are done with pandemic mandates. They're ready to make their own decisions about how to protect themselves.

For a US-led global order to survive, America must lead by example
For globalization to survive the war in Ukraine, the United States must do better and be better. It is unclear whether the world's greatest democracy has the wherewithal to manage this.

It's easier than you might think to make birding more accessible to more people
Birds bring so much joy to so many people. Their presence and our delight in them can connect us to the natural world. And with so many health benefits to spending time outside, birds can be the prompt to get a dose of nature therapy.
