Agreed, and just for more context - he also funds a huge swathe of the U of Oregon. Not only sports - also arts, languages, international programs, the library (among best in world), music… With OR people, discussion opens quicker from a “so he funds a lot of stuff, but UGH his record” approach

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

This isn’t institutional capture. It’s a parallel epistemic system built outside medicine, using influencer dynamics, curated anecdotes, and spiritualised autonomy to replace verification, deliberation, and accountability.

I had to zoom in on the “beef protein bar,” because it kind of sounded repetitive. But indeed, on closer look it is a chocolate bar with beef protein 🤢

Then look out for the little brook in March,
When the rivers overflow,
And the snows come hurrying from the hills,
And the bridges often go.
And later, in August it may be,
When the meadows parching lie,
Beware, lest this little brook of life
Some burning noon go dry!
- E.Dickinson

Have you got a little brook in your heart,
Where bashful flowers grow,
And blushing birds go down to drink,
And shadows tremble so?
And nobody knows, so still it flows,
That any brook is there,
And yet your little draught of life
Is daily drunken there.
(stanzas 2/4, continues)
- Emily Dickinson

Sad to see this for Germany. I’ve been seeing similar in France for a few years, but no research. I am sadly not surprised at the lack of research or press coverage, as the French media landscape has shifted to billionaire-owned right-wing outlets, very much like in the US (am originally American).

Seconding Chinese, in addition to the bodice clues, the skirt fabric is a brocade. Several similar formal styles are online, but this looks informal/homewear. Unfortunately that’s not as well documented - I’ll be keeping an eye on comments here, curious too!

Agreed. I talked about care.

Yes, and we know the best employer-employee matches happen when there is mutual care (values, outcomes, etc). One informal measure of care is the effort taken to express interest in a cover letter, and how that interest fits the employer’s needs and values. Automation breaks that on both sides.

Today is world kindness day, and a perfect day to celebrate Fred Rogers and his impact on many of our lives.
He shared innumerable wise words with us, many which have stuck with me and guide me even today, and I'd like to share a few of them this morning.
