The 33 Project: Tucker Carlson & Lulu Garcia-Navarro • On Loss & Death in Gaza • NASA Pics

Hello hello. Our neighbors vines are at peak lushness it seems.

Yesterday there were 5 different couples that came between 3:30-5:30pm to take wedding or engagement photos. Winter is very much over!

On to the recs. Really varied collection of posts for you today. Hope you find them worthwhile.

1/ This was an interesting interview. I don’t spend much time consuming the crazy that is Tucker Carlson, but I thought the conversation here was really well done. Lulu Garcia-Navarro is an expert interviewer and it really shows here. She manages to have patience but also push back. Just a really interesting, wide-ranging conversation that provided some insight on contemporary American politics for me. Hope you find it compelling, too.

2/ Devastating piece, beautifully written. Worth reading.

After Sari, many others were lost. Members of my family, people I saw every day. Each of them was killed at a different time and in a different place, as if death kept returning to me in new forms to finish what it had begun with Sari. With each loss, I felt something else break inside me. And yet I did not cry as I had the first time. It was as if my tears had run out, or as if my heart had learned to protect itself with silence. I heard the news and felt I should collapse, but something inside me was rigid. No sound came out, no tears fell. Sometimes I sat alone and blamed myself: “Have I lost my humanity? How can you not cry for your relatives? How has death become ordinary?”

3/ NASA Dropped More Than 12,000 Photos from the Artemis II Mission. So cool! For gearheads, they used a couple of Nikons and an iPhone 17.

That’s it for today. Hope you have a great Tuesday and I’ll see you Thursday. Please share this with anyone you think may find it interesting.
