I’ll get on that right after I finish reading Paste’s op-ed on who should be the next Fed chair.

I was pretty naïve in high school. I’d see kids that I knew drank joining SADD. Then in, like, my 20s I was like “oh, right, they got caught and their parents made them join.”

RIP Frank Gehry (1929-2025). He will be cremated by being placed at the focal point of the Disney Concert Hall.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

It’s fascinating to me that UPS will show different delivery time windows for two packages on the same truck. Are they running separate Monte Carlo sims for each package?

hot take tangential to the issue: based on this principle, Starfleet is actually horrible at science, they're actually just spicy engineers
Lack of bs theory is engineering, not science. (I say this as an engineer)

Discovering new principles requires a certain whackiness that’s not well-aligned to building something using vetted theories that an end-user can use without the study required to do science.

From what I can tell, a portion of first semester ‘entry level’ classes are thoroughly bimodal now—with motivated students on average doing better than ever and unmotivated students on average sinking lower than ever before.

It’s just too easy to check out completely until it’s far too late.
yup. there's bifurcation everywhere, social basis! i do tend to get a dumbbell not a bell curve; classes designed to reward those who show up and do the readings and participate; they do or they don't; As or Ds

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

You know how things look smaller the farther away they are?

At cosmological distances, there's a point where that reverses, and they start looking bigger again.
