Why App Onboarding Screens Decide User Retention?
I was sitting in a dark studio in Seattle long after everyone else had left for the day when I first saw the need of an onboarding screen. My display shone with a brightness that didn't feel quite right, and the office windows reflected the last of the evening light. Three basic screens. A few of words. a trigger for a gesture. Nothing difficult.

The Watchmaker's Final Ticking. AI-Generated.
The bell above the door of "Chronos & Son" didn't just tinkle; it chimed with the precise, melancholic tone of a clock striking the hour in a forgotten century. Inside was a labyrinth of time. Grandfather clocks stood like silent sentinels, their pendulums still. Shelves were crammed with carriage clocks, cuckoo clocks, and wristwatches, all frozen in a perpetual state of "almost working."

Retro School: When Education Was Chalk, Books, and Discipline And Was It Really Better?
Education has always reflected the world around it. The classrooms our parents and grandparents once knew filled with wooden desks, chalky blackboards, and the smell of well-worn textbooks feel worlds apart from today’s digital learning environment. “Retro school,” as many now call it, describes an era when learning was defined by handwritten notes, strict routines, and a deep respect for books. The question is no longer whether education has changed, but whether those changes have actually made students smarter, more capable, or simply more distracted.

The $189 Billion Question: How Pandemic School Closures Became a Funding “Smash and Grab”
By Kyle Fields – November 19, 2025 – Washington, D.C. When COVID-19 hit, schools everywhere emptied almost overnight. Kids were sent home with laptops and Wi-Fi passwords, parents scrambled to keep them learning, and teachers tried to pivot to online classrooms. Everyone knew it was a mess. What no one really knew at the time though, was that the empty classrooms were filling up federal bank accounts.

The Boy Who Calculated Shadows. AI-Generated.
In the concrete maze of the Meridian Heights projects, eight-year-old Elias was a ghost. He was small for his age, with eyes that seemed to absorb the world rather than just see it. His mother worked two shifts, and his world was a symphony of lack—the hollow echo in the cupboard, the chill from the window that wouldn’t seal, the constant, low-grade hum of anxiety. But inside Elias’s head, there was a universe of perfect, beautiful order.

Fumfer Physics 33: Relational Information and the Leaky Quantum Universe
Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Rick Rosner explore an “informational cosmology” where the universe is a relational information-processing system. Rosner defines information as selecting one outcome from many possible outcomes, which only counts when events leave durable, readable records. They contrast transient and stable traces, from stellar reactions to human memories, and ask whether awareness matters to cosmic information. Questioning simple “universe as computer” models, they propose emergent, fuzzy properties that sharpen with scale, tied to quantum entanglement and probabilistic “leakiness.” The universe continually defines its own frame through changing relations, not absolute size or static digital bits evolving over time.

How the Peace School Is Redefining Education: Dr. Nasser Yousefi and Baran Yousefi on Love, Democracy, and Learning in 2025
Dr. Nasser Yousefi and Baran Yousefi are the creators of the Peace School, a Canadian lab school dedicated to humanistic, child-centred education. Drawing on backgrounds in psychology, pedagogy, and community work, they design environments where children explore relationships, values, and critical thinking rather than merely perform for grades or rankings. Their work challenges behaviourist, test-driven schooling by foregrounding emotional intelligence, democratic participation, and love as core educational principles. Through collaborations with universities, community partners, and international scholars, they aim to build a global network of progressive educators committed to inclusive, peace-oriented learning for children and families worldwide today and tomorrow.
