No matter how we complain, or resist, or throw wrenches at our computer screens in infantile, ineffectual, regressive tantrums of impotence, these tools now exist, and they will only improve with time and effort.

Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire Review

Linguistic Reference Frames
I came across a paper in Science Advances called "Different reference frames on different axes: Space and language in indigenous Amazonians."
Triboelectric Nanogenerators
Learning about these in a recent paper is part of why I keep reading scientific papers - because every now and then, you come across one that informs you of a technology that might just change the world.
