'Honeysuckle.' (1968) Euan Uglow's still-lifes are much like his paintings of figures; a rigid methodology, each feature marked and measured with ruler and plumb-line. The subject is fixed, our view transfixed, an absolute distance between them.

In only 5 years, we've gone from public displays of praise for nurses to the Department of Education planning to assert that Nursing is not a "professional" degree, all to prevent nurses from obtaining student loans. Is your ER overstaffed? Your hospital needs no more nurses?

Headline writers for 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝑌𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 think that we ought to be "ruled." The false presupposition is that there need to be rulers & the ruled. That isn't democracy. The authors, unhappy with messy democracy, want more software. Stick to computer science, chaps.

Journalists at CNN uncertain about what napping looks like. One wishes they had read J.L. Austin's "Pretending," in which Austin says, "Only in special cases is the limit between 'pretending [appearing] to do A' and 'really doing A' of much interest." Some Sleepy Joe karma.
