Thomas Gold was a professor of astrophysics at Cornell University and one of the most interesting scientists of the 20th century. He had a notable penchant for diving into completely new fields and developing hypotheses utterly at odds with the scientific consensus of the day. His many achievements include correcting the understanding of how the... See more

One thing that could help us close that remaining gap is a carbon tax—something universal, fair, and relatively simple. Paired with positive incentives for renewables, a price on carbon creates a negative incentive to generate emissions. I recently tuned in to a training session from Citizens’ Climate Lobby, which made a strong case not just for... See more

taxing households so beyond political suicide — adding yet another tax that will impact citizens rather than corporations — and is exactly the sort of thinking that the climate lobby will fail for
“I toggle between hopelessness and determination every 10 minutes,” she says. “I persevere because greatness and supremacy over this very tedious and silly enterprise is simply my destiny.”

“Whenever you think you’ve seen it, there is another hidden room. Little by little, one discovers, floor by floor, more and more secret spaces – and I am sure I still have not seen all of them, filled with books upon books. It’s almost paradise. I’ve always thought of the König bookshop as a sort of paradise.”

Let’s assume for a moment, though, that between the two sales, Paramount walks away with $4.5 billion in cash. Paramount has $13.5 billion of net debt, as of March 31. If Bakish decided to use the $4.5 billion in cash from the sales of S&S and BET to pay down that debt—always a good use of cash—Paramount would still have $9 billion in debt. On the... See more

it seems as though these are all brands that could be fucking incredible but are being manage-managed rather than brand-managed
We love this quote from Mark Twain: “travel is fatal to prejudice.” If you’re traveling to enrich yourself, to better yourself, then this is really what resonates with Rimowa, and what we’ve always stood for.

It just makes me think, [the V.C.s] are bad at their job. It’s part of why Barbie is considered such an extreme thing, or a Taylor Swift concert. Men, and I mean largely white, cis men, think male culture is just culture. God forbid that they have to think about something that is not squarely targeted at them. That they can’t possibly try a...
