O churrasco gaúcho foi para o Paraná e lá virou a melhor versão de si mesmo. Está documentado.
“The best churrascarias I have had were on the outskirts of Curitiba in the south.” 👏👏👏
In which I praise the food of Brazil: worksinprogress.co/issue/com…, it is too bad Brazilian food in the United States is not better.

Beautiful work, @jddwor. The clothes-washing poem from 1797 blew me away.
In 1843, Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote to a friend after seeing her first daguerreotype: “The very shadow of the person lying there fixed for ever! … I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest artist’s work ever produced.”
Our lives and homes are filled with things that once inspired similar awe. I tried to collect those feelings, in quotes like the one above, from people for whom what is now ordinary was brand new. A friar who met the inventor of eyeglasses, a founding father on the new smallpox vaccine, a woman in Iowa on her family’s first indoor bathroom.

The birth-rate collapse isn’t just about money, housing, or women choosing careers. The sharper diagnosis: fewer couples. Across the world, young people still say they want kids. But they socialize less, partner less, commit less – and become parents less. Smartphones didn’t make us infertile. They may have made us lonelier. The fertility crisis is really a bonding crisis. ft.com/content/fba35eca-df3a…

Superb by @jburnmurdoch:
“In country after country the birth rate plunged after the introduction of smartphones, no matter what the previous trend was…the modern digital media environment has had profound effects on society that have led to a decline in romantic coupling”.
