“And yet, what hurts me most is the bare idea of the millions of Notre-Dames, high cathedrals of terrestrial biodiversity, burning to the ground; all those layers of 100-year-old chestnut trees, vines, rubber trees, palm trees, banana plants, orchids, bromeliads, passion fruit flowers; the macaws, toucans, capybaras, sloths, jaguars, anacondas and ants that called them home. A monumental universe, turning, as I write this, into pasture and soy.”

An illustration based on the New York Times Opinion article, “We Shouldn’t Bother the Feral Scooters of Central Park” by Janelle Shane.

An illustration based on the New York Times Opinion article, “The Sterile, Efficient Life of a Millennial” by Rainesford Stauffer.

An illustration based on the New York Times Opinion article, “Tech Companies Are Destroying Democracy and the Free Press” Matt Stoller.

—

“The collapse of journalism and democracy in the face of the internet is not inevitable. To save democracy and the free press, we must eliminate Google and Facebook’s control over the information commons… Advertising revenue should once again flow to journalism and art. And people should pay directly for communications services, instead of paying indirectly by forgoing democracy.”

An illustration based on the New York Times Opinion article, “The Police Can’t Solve the Problem. They Are the Problem.” by Derecka Purnell and Marbre Stahly-Butts.

—

“Systems of oppression, like slavery, Jim Crow, and mass incarceration, must be reduced and abolished — not reimagined. Police officers, who primarily put people in cages, are the enforcers of mass incarceration. We must reckon with the reality that the police are part of the problem and stop investing money, power and legitimacy in them.”

An illustration based on the New York Times Opinion article, “There is No Tech Backlash” by Rob Walker.

—

“Habits die hard. But even more remarkable than our apparent reluctance to ditch the technologies we love to dis is a fervent embrace of newer new things that seem, at the very least, worth approaching with caution.”

And she’s off! There’s a brand new ice cream shop in town and she’s definitely not waiting around for dad to get home. It’s a matter of life, death, and mint-choc chip goodness.
