Perhaps it would be better to look for once in awe at what is here, not with great learnedness but with warm understanding.

New Evidence Suggests Neanderthals Cannibalized Outsider Women and Children
Human remains found inside a Belgian cave tell a grisly story of selective cannibalism among our hominid cousins.

Again, the head-down, quiet strategy is bound to fail. It always does. We know this in WI from the Scott Walker years. R1 presidents need to get over their collective action problems & get out, in DC, right now, & engage Congress & the public, before it's too late.
The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

Archetypal example is “capitalism ground me down so I quit my job and set up a small business so that I’m my own boss”. You didn’t dislike capitalism! You disliked authority!

Hate the fart, not the farter
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.
