Arcadia is my favorite by Stoppard, this cheered me up immensely.
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.

LUCKA 1. KÄNNS VECKAN LÅNG? I DANMARK ÄR DEN KORTARE
Fram till 1973 sänkte vi arbetstiderna i samma takt, men sedan fortsatte Danmark sänka. Sedan 1990 har danska löntagare 37-timmarsveckor – ofta inklusive betald lunchrast. Danmarks BNP har klarat sig bra.

12-årige Johan satt under diskbänk: ”Skolan tog inte sitt ansvar”
12-årige Johan gömde sig under en diskbänk – ensam och rädd. Där satt han i fyra månader – utan adekvat undervisning. Nu vill hans föräldrar stämma kommunen.

Kompromisser kan vara fantastiska saker. Det är så vi människor kommer överens och samarbetar och bygger samhällen.
Men detta är aldrig en ursäkt för att kompromissa med sitt samvete, sin empati och sin ryggrad.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

The Art of the Deal, Mamdani style.
Mamdani walked in with an agenda. Trump walked out repeating it.
Trump’s Oval Office Surrender to Zohran Mamdani
In a stunning White House meeting, Donald Trump abandoned his party’s narrative and embraced New York City’s mayor-elect, while Mamdani stayed laser-focused on issues facing the city.

Found another vintage 1940-50s (guessing) nurse's winter coat in wool (burn test) and rayon (burn, acetone). It doesn't fit me, but would if I either install a zipper or change to single button. Now, would it be ethical of me to hack it? I mean, the museums already have a bunch of them, right?

Alla som kommer ihåg att ni tänkte, när ni läste historia, att ni minsann hade protesterat: dags för lite politisk tydlighet.
Att vara artig i debatt och villig att lyssna in kan inte likställas med tystnad.
Att vara artig i debatt och villig att lyssna in kan inte likställas med tystnad.
Tystnaden är medlöperiets främsta kännetecken. I vår tid breder den sig ut över världen som en cancer i rädslan och egoismens spår, skriver Jan Scherman.
Vi lever i medlöperiets tid – ledet av lydiga växer
Jan Scherman varnar för att tystnaden som sprider sig i rädslans och egoismens spår äter upp demokratin.

Black panther moment. Kudos to NYTimes for headlining with "seasoned officials", not women.

Gaza is exceptional in how consistently the bar against journalists has been applied, but there are certainly other groups that are barring, threatening and killing journalists:
Russia (Russia-Ukraine)
Taliban
Myanmar
RSF (Sudan)
...note the company.

Just watched Bigelow's A House of Dynamite on Netflix. Excellent and wellacted, like a well put together clockwork of interconnected scenes, and stressful, as in people who take decisions have way too little data (decision support researcher stressful 😂).

An interesting and thoughtful long read from Israeli magazine +972 about how to dismantle ethical objection in war: by giving soldiers military objectives they cannot themselves validate or reason about.
