In this essay, Lee Sandlin reflects on how war is remembered, misunderstood, mythologised, and slowly lost to those who never experienced it directly, moving from private family mementos to the vast cultural memory of World War Two with a bleak, humane eye for the gap between history as story and history as lived catastrophe.

In this post, Kelsey Piper argues that one of AI’s most prominent critics is making a weaker case than he used to: as AI tools have improved, adoption has grown, and costs have fallen, the serious skeptical argument has shifted from “AI has no value” to harder questions about profitability, capital expenditure, and whether current revenue can justify the build-out. It’s a sharp but spoiler-free critique of bad AI skepticism, and a call for better, more precise scrutiny of an industry that still badly needs it.

In this post, Jane Psmith reviews Thomas Asbridge’s The Greatest Knight, a biography of William Marshal, using it as a springboard into the violent, strange, and often surprisingly funny world of twelfth-century knighthood. She highlights how Asbridge turns one extraordinary career into a broader portrait of civil war, tournament culture, patronage, loyalty, and the making of chivalric ideals.
