also, trippy fruit, and equanimity.

dall-e: “Data Driven Eye Candy”

• Data Driven Eye Candy: the 2023 Information is Beautiful awards are out!! my favorite is “on upward mobility” by Aaron Williams, originally posted on pudding.cool

• The fruit aisle is getting “trippy”. In SE Asia we got our “trippy” fruit like Uglifruit, Rambutan and Dragonfruit the traditional way — hundreds of years of selective breeding.

• Totally different point but related to trippy fruit: How humans are shaping the evolution of other animals and plants. I suppose since the publisher is Anthropocene magazine, perhaps their argument is obvious.

• I don’t know what to say about this , but it’s a heck of a read: Andrew Wylie, the “Jackal” of the big business of serious literature via longreads.

• Mover over, Grit, Equanimity is here to define your future success (with Science!)
