The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is underway in Oslo.
Fred Ramsdell attended Foothill College, amassing enough credits to be able to afford finishing college at UC-San Diego in 1983.
Today he shares a Nobel Prize in medicine.
That is what a society investing in affordable education produces.

News from Kansas City, where ASEH will gather next March.
insane local news just dropped. i've lived in a part of KC for ~decade and it's been an inside joke with friends and service workers that the local biz/party district is ran by a cartel of biz owners who bully out new ventures and replace them with generic dive bars for white suburbanites.
Well UH

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Your occasional reminder that the activities described as recycling have complex and often destructive effects.
Industry rightly claims that 99% of US lead-acid batteries are recycled.
When done cheaply, that recycled lead comes at a grave cost to workers and communities around the world.

"As the auto industry struggled through the subsequent financial crisis, other car companies and battery retailers also declined to sign on. Green Lead collapsed"

I've never seen such escalation and use of force toward ends I just could not see. There was no real property destruction, no pushing into the neighborhoods to make arrests, very little obstructing of traffic. Saw chemicals and bangs deployed down streets the feds were not facing and did not travel.
