This holiday week was filled with good cheer! Oh, wait, this is LWON. But don’t worry, it wasn’t all fit for a Scrooge.
First, we gave you a terrific list of things to watch with our traditional TV/Movie binge list. Don’t blame us if you’re still on Season 1 of anything good.
Then came Ann Finkbeiner’s excellent redux about two brothers, anxiety, and the balance of science and God.
Craig Childs then put on a fabulous show (one of many) pitting two friends/scientists against each other on climate change—with an audience..
Then came my own holiday rant in which I whine unoriginally about holiday commercialism but offer a rather unusual antidote.
And finally, Rose Eveleth shares the tragic history of Canada’s Goose Island and the monument to its dead immigrants that’s being sucked up by a growing city.
