The noble but undervalued craft of maintenance could help preserve modernity’s finest achievements, from public transit systems to power gri

There is tension in the question of whether to build objects more intensively, so that they last longer, or to recognize that some things cannot endure and thus should be designed that way. There’s no hope for a paper plate in the long run, for example. It’s designed to enter the waste stream as cheaply and easily as possible. Conversely, a toaster could last for decades if maintained properly, assuming the manufacturer hasn’t built obsolescence into it (as is often the case).

More complex objects and built environments, like a transit system or a housing development, compound questions over what should last and what cannot. How do we create systems that can address these questions on their own terms?

3 new poems:

"The Day The Clown Cried"

"Trips and Ticks"

"Retrograde Suminagashi"

+++++++++++++++++++++++

I catapulted my elation into

the briar patch only to see

it’s pudgy weaning sink

beneath marshmallowy waves of

tissue paper irises

Titan has rain, rivers, and seas—but they're made of liquid methane, forcing us to rethink what a habitable world might actually look like.

Titan travels around the Sun with Saturn at an average distance of about 1.4 billion kilometres, or 9.5 astronomical units.

NASA’s Titan facts page puts the consequence plainly: sunlight takes about 80 minutes to reach the moon and is roughly 100 times fainter there than at Earth.

The surface temperature sits near minus 179 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, familiar materials exchange roles.

Water is not merely frozen in the way a pond freezes during winter. It forms the solid crust, pebbles and much of the bedrock. Methane, which is a gas under ordinary conditions on Earth, can condense into liquid. Ethane can remain liquid too.

Titan also has the atmosphere needed to make a climate rather than a vacuum-driven freeze. It is about 95 per cent nitrogen and roughly 5 per cent methane near the surface, with a surface pressure around 60 per cent higher than Earth’s.

Methane’s melting point is close to Titan’s average surface temperature, so local temperature, pressure and composition matter. This is not a uniformly wet moon. The polar regions contain the large lakes and seas, while broad equatorial areas are dry enough to support enormous dunes.

The deeper lesson is that “liquid” is not a substance. It is a physical state. Change the temperature and pressure far enough, and the material that runs downhill changes with them.

Tara Clerkin Trio, Somewhere Good (World of Echo, 2026).

#electronic #jazz #bristol #tara clerkin trio

July 10, 2026 – “How much can fans conveniently forget in order to enjoy the games? The answer, evidently, is a lot.”

The question is always, Can the excitement of o jogo bonito transcend not only a host country’s xenophobic politics but also FIFA’s eternal greed and aura of corruption? How much can fans conveniently forget in order to enjoy the games? The answer, evidently, is a lot. A case in point: this year, for the first time, FIFA introduced compulsory hydration breaks at the midway point of each half. This seemed a reasonable response to the extreme heat forecast for some of the venues, and clearly good for the players’ health. However, more than a few games were scheduled in air-conditioned domes, or in locations with temperate climates. The hydration breaks quickly generated an animated fan response. Fox Sports, so the story went, had colluded with FIFA to generate more commercial revenue by turning football into a U.S.-style game with four quarters.

How did we get here?

What broke the compact? Several researchers identified the response to the COVID pandemic as a flash point. Public health guidance flailed initially on questions of masking, school closures and frontline drugs. It also produced a good vaccine in under a year, an unheard-of success. Ultimately around a million people died of the disease within the first two years.

The experience damaged trust in science and scientists. It’s still high—the number of people saying they have a lot of trust in science has hovered around 77 percent for years. But it was 10 points higher before COVID, and it now splits hard along lines of political affiliation. “Especially in the U.S. and with social media, all of a sudden everybody was an expert on COVID. So much of it was just bullshit,” Andersen says. “And then at some point bullshit was all that was left.”
