Sundays are a good time to clear out my open browser tabs. But instead of simply closing them for good, I might as well share some of the readings I particularly enjoyed recently. #SundayRead

This Nieman essay on solving the network crisis, by @wphillips49, is just another example of what a terrific thinker and writer Whitney is.

The last column of the great @garyyounge for the Guardian is sad and uplifting at the same time and should be on everyone's reading list.

“Imagine a world in which you might thrive, for which there is no evidence. And then fight for it.”

Then there's this long-read by Charlotte Higgins on a scandal in Oxford’s ancient papyrus collection which is perhaps the best true crime story I've read recently.

Also, @beccalew has written this sharp analysis of YouTube and radicalisation. Another must-read as is the rest of her work: ffwd.medium.com/all-of-youtube…

Finally, this NYT report from the annual meeting of the American Economic Association (their "Burning Man") and the discipline’s problems with discrimination & harassment is very good, not least bc econ is far from the only field struggling with this.
