Sincere Haikus

3 days ago | thebrowser.com | Kaamya Sharma

Anthony Madrid | Paris Review | 24th June 2025On the challenges of writing original poetry in one language using the rules developed for a different language. Take the haiku. The rules are 3 lines, 17 syllables: 5-7-5. Serious haiku editors will call this “naive”. A Japanese syllable is not equivalent to an English syllable. “Instead of going by the numbers, you should follow the Japanese principle that’s at stake, which is extreme minimalism” (2,200 words)Nomido is the Browser's daily word game.

Todd Oppenheimer | Craftsmanship | 20th June 2025A calligraphy renaissance is underway, with hundreds of societies operating across the globe. The craft’s adherents are broadly divided into two camps: “pointed pen work”, the “fine-lined, swirly lettering” which originated in England in the 1600s; and “broad nib” calligraphy, with “stout, flat pen points” used for the big, Gothic text commonly seen in newspaper names — like the New York Times (1,600 words)Nomido is the Browser's daily word game.

Rethinking it could provide a way both of restoring what Alexis de Tocqueville called "democracy in America", and divesting from fossil fuels. Why not nationalise Tesla and fold it into the network? This would signal that "profit, including the vast inequalities it requires, is not necessary.

Juror Jumping

Ozy Brennan | Thing Of Things | 13th June 2025Observations from jury duty. Most of the evidence in the case would not have existed twenty years ago: Instagram posts, ShotSpotter. The jury instructions present a dilemma: “how could I be sure that I wasn’t changing my opinion based on struck testimony?”. Mainly, these rules are meant to constrain which arguments are allowed in jury deliberations. Ultimately, the jury is hung due to a Kantian (7,600 words)Nomido is the Browser's daily word game.
