Nick Sousanis (@nsousanis) got a doctorate in education from Columbia for Unflattening, a dissertation in comics form that was published by Harvard University Press and went on to critical and commercial success.

Sousanis has since made a career out of creating comics that bring complex and abstract concepts to life, like entropy:

While also dabbling in longform, concrete pieces, like a biography of pioneering comics librarian @kg19:

His latest is "No Sides," a stark, abstract and moving one-page meditation on our inescapable shared destiny, in which biology transcends ideology.

Last summer, I did an interview with the Singularity Blog podcast (my last interview was all the way back in 2012). As is my wont, I got to talking about @Ada_Palmer because she's just so durned brilliant.

This prompted host Nikola Danaylov to book in an interview with Ada, which has just gone live. It's 2.5h (!) and so worth every minute of it (!!).

I mean, I came for Ada's deep understanding of Renaissance history and how it relates to the current pandemic, and I was not disappointed:

* This is the first pandemic ever experienced by a society that understands how pandemics work

"Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste: How Neoliberalism Survived the Financial Meltdown" is Philip Mirowski's 2013 book on how neoliberalism's true nature and virulence were exposed by the 2008 crisis.

Now, in a new interview with @jacobinmag's @alexdoherty7, Mirowski lays out a sharp-eyed and alarming analysis of how neoliberalism is capitalising on the pandemic crisis and making ready to finalize its dominance over the human race and our planet.

Mirowski says that the one ideology that binds together all strains of neoliberalism is the belief that "people are inherently bad cognizers — they can’t work their way out of their problems just by thinking."

In 2003, @eileen_gunn's pioneering online sf magazine shut down, and so did @bruces' early seminal blog, the Schism Matrix.

But thankfully, that wasn't the end of Bruce Sterling's blogging career: @wired gave him an (unpaid) online home for a new blog, every bit as cranky, esoteric, gnomic and darkly comic as Bruce himself: Beyond the Beyond.

Now, Beyond the Beyond is done. Wired publisher Conde Nast is in such deep financial trouble that they're realizing minuscule savings like those to be gleaned from shutting down an unpaid blog.

Sterling's written a fantastic farewell post.
