This week – Articles for the Week of 2025-06-11

Please note: I am on holidays this month, so posts are a little slow coming. I’ll be back on regular schedule in July!

Each week I share the articles and essays that I found most interesting, annoying, challenging, or important. Hope that you check them out too.
