The view that work represents an affliction or even a curse stretches far back in our cultural history. In the Book of Genesis, when the first humans are expelled from the Garden of Eden, the woman is told that her labor in childbearing will be accompanied by suffering, and the man learns that the ground is cursed because of him, and only through painful toil will he eat of it.

Marilynne Robinson’s Reading Genesis can be read as a twenty-first-century defense of metaphysics that powerfully shapes our notions of law and liberty. If the world is just matter in motion and its only laws are physical in nature, then freedom is a mere illusion, with no sound footing in the nature of things.

Usually when I want to spend two-and-a-half hours staring at a screen I open TikTok. Last week, however, I decided to see The Wizard of Oz at the Birmingham Hippodrome to get the same headache-inducing experience. There’s a reason The Wizard of Oz has been adapted so many times: it’s great. The original story from the 1900 book and the songs from the 1939 film have inspired creatives for over a hundred years and audiences love it every time.

March 14, 2024 If American society is to let go of its resentment and rage, it must learn to forgive. At dark times in American political life, the art of forgiveness has unexpectedly shone through. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of US President Gerald Ford’s unconditional pardon of his predecessor Richard Nixon, who was likely to face criminal charges such as conspiracy and obstruction of justice for his role in the Watergate affair.

Gaming Editor Kitty Grant serves up a tasty review of Toasterball, the bread based ping-pong game Toasterball was received for free for review purposes. Toast. Balls. What else is there to say about Toasterball? Well it turns out, quite a lot. Toasterball is simple in theory: you play as a toaster battling another toaster to keep a ball from smashing through the wall behind you by popping your toast up to bat the ball away from your side.

The great increase in human life expectancy during the twentieth century is often cited as proof that humanity’s lot is rapidly improving. On average, an infant born in 1900 could expect to live to about 32 years, while by 2000, life expectancy had reached 65 years. By contrast, alarm bells sounded when American life expectancy declined in the first years of this decade by 2.5 years, primarily due to Covid and opioid overdoses.

On the northside of Indianapolis, there is a senior living community, numbering about 160 residents. Over the past few months, a group of interested residents and I have been meeting weekly for 90 minutes, devoting our attention to the discussion of a great book. There is no course title, and the offering does not appear in any course catalog. No money changes hands. No credit is awarded.
