…by quirk of history, technology, and privilege, [we] simply know too much about the world. As humans, we were never supposed to live with this much optionality embedded into our psyche. People didn’t used to see the myriad obligations of their lives as opportunity costs, but rather as the unavoidable work of being alive. - Rosie Spinks added July 24, 2025
Health
Cannabis users showed a 29 percent higher risk of heart attack, 20 percent higher risk of stroke, and more than double the risk of cardiovascular death compared to non-users. - National Library of Medicine added June 17, 2025
Web
On the web, though most of today’s web browsers support CSS-based columns, as a design tool they’re not that useful. Practically speaking, columns need to fit inside a fixed vertical space. But by its nature, a web page has an indefinite bottom edge. Still, columns can be useful in situations where you have a small amount of text or a list of links that can fit on a browser single screen. See system fonts for an example of this technique. - Matthew Butterick added August 21, 2025
