This isn't a Jackson Pollock painting. Instead, it's a GPS tracking map of six different wolf packs around Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota. The map used 68,000 recorded location points from collared wolves over a 6-to-7 month period, spanning from Apr - Oct 2018. 1/2

I spelled out "superpower suicide" in this essay from May 2026. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power, and succeeded with such rapidity. snyder.substack.com/p/on-sup…
