Yi-Fu Tuan was best known for pioneering "humanist geography," but he started his research career on the hard rock of the San Pedro Valley, writing a volume called "Pediments in Southeastern Arizona" in 1959. Here's a description of that time: https://t.co/byfe01yh6U https://t.co/dQQkl1WWmM

When watching the @bgmasters campaign ad by his wife Catherine, I think of what he and Peter Thiel wrote in their 2014 book, Zero to One: "Every culture has a myth of decline from some golden age." https://t.co/tCJiFIilWl

Column: A new investigation by The Arizona Republic and a new report analyzing the Maricopa County election "audit" reveal the harsh truth: It had ill intent, was ill-conceived and was carried out badly, too. https://tucson.com/news/local/tim-stellers-opinion-new-reports-show-az-audit-fatally-flawed-from-start-to-finish/article_47a014d8-4bbf-11ec-b7e5-8341d5b00339.html?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_TucsonStar

Since reading Shadows at Dawn by Karl Jacoby, I can only think of Aravaipa Canyon as an Apache home, not as wilderness. https://t.co/Q4E8O1I5DX

This story should always be remembered. Years before he became Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, William Rehnquist harassed and tried to disenfranchise black voters in Phoenix. Again, people in power in AZ are trying to pick the voters. https://t.co/uXo5mpPxAS

On Saturday, I moderated a @tfob session on Max @chafkin’s book about Peter Thiel, The Contrarian. The weird detail that stuck with me is that Thiel put $10 million into a NASCAR magazine. It became a vehicle for writers to rail against political correctness. It flopped. https://t.co/CuuVSB8xo8
