1. AI art, from @midjourney.

2. "The first lunar dust collected by Neil Armstrong from the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 is headed to auction, with an estimated value of between US$800,000 and US$1.2 million." Link here.

3. What will the end of subsidies mean for uninsured Covid care?

4. Ezra Klein and Larry Summers (NYT).

5. New and relatively rigorous study of social media and well-being. Small negative effects, highly dependent on age, somewhat dependent on gender. Evidence consistent with causality running in both directions. This is not a zero negative effect, stronger than usual for girls 12-14, and for men 26-29, but overall not consistent with the doomsaying accounts. Here is NYT coverage. Note this from the NYT: "“There’s been absolutely hundreds of these studies, almost all showing pretty small effects,” said Jeff Hancock, a behavioral psychologist at Stanford University who has conducted a meta-analysis of 226 such studies."

6. The phones of Zelensky.

7. How Duke University Press stayed relevant (New Yorker). And what is wrong with Yale?

8. Who is Putin's immediate successor? And is he a nice guy?

9. Which states back Will Smith?

10. The current status of AI in medicine.

11. Obituary for architectural theorist Christopher Alexander (NYT).
