CuratingWe curate. We do not instruct.
Swimming and lifesaving are skills you learn in the water, not on a website. We do not tell you how to swim or rescue. We point you to the people who know, with a short note on why the piece is worth your time.
Every entry carries an editor's byline.
Each card is signed by the editor who read or watched the source and wrote the take. If we get something wrong, you know who to write to, and we will correct it on the page with a dated note.
