“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
Three, Two, One–the countdown to 2021 is on. It’s not like we can just stop doing work, but there’s an energy in endings and new beginnings. I think we’re all feeling it this year. I don’t believe that things will change quickly–but there’s a glimmer of something on the horizon. Another batch of links in the usual style, enjoy.
