This morning, I have three things for you:

  • A story about political violence from Boston in the 1970s, which I think holds some lessons for today’s political moment

  • A quick layman’s explanation of the technical outage that took millions of computers offline on Friday

  • A poem, because beauty is essential for human flourishing

Enjoy.
