So crazy that one persons life has given us Coyote Ugl; eat pray love and whatever this latest iteration is (accurate summary below).
So I know nothing about "Eat Pray Love," but I found myself doing a cursory search about author.

I was not ready to learn about Elizabeth Gilbert, who left her husband for a woman w/pancreatic cancer whom she got hooked on drugs, tried to murder, and then got consent from her GHOST to write about.

Wonder when unis start building exam faraday cages.
Ugh. A student got caught wearing/using Meta glasses during a final. And that is despite the professor making an explicit prohibition after the midterms. In addition to the cheating problem we have to watch for, I worry that disabled students will be asked to have their assistive devices checked now

Sean lived with an ex of mine. Dominant memory is that the house had a shitty water heater and that while my ex was away, it went out and the whole house just had cold showers until my ex returned.
It must also be said, that Sean Kelly writes like butter.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

The new U.S. National Security Strategy aims to operationalise what is called the Vance–Trump Doctrine—treating Europe, its liberal democratic model, and the EU’s rule-of-law institutions as strategic obstacles rather than partners. This is a profound shift. It’s time to pay attention.
The NSS of the US is to overturn small-l liberalism in Europe and corruption is one means they plan to do that.
NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY DROPPED

There is a LOT here, but omg NATO allies are going to seethe at this paragraph

Found out that all the ADHD kids at school have to go to the office to get their lunch time dose when the morning dose wears off and I can only imagine the chaos of marshalling an entire group of unmedicated ADHD kids. 💀

Agree with this thread. Worth reading in full.

25 years ago John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and AC Barrett all worked on GWBush's 2000 Florida recount team. What they're doing now is, if anything, more nakedly partisan.

Fire-breathing dissent by Kagan, with Sotomayor and Jackson.
They're not even trying to appear nonpartisan anymore.
#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

Apologies for yelling, but—

A million streams = $3000. Bananas.
Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Yes, if you're always hysterical, if you have one glib answer for everything ("He has dementia," "He's a Russian asset," etc), you'll sound silly and people will stop listening. But looking at 2015-25, the "This is REALLY BAD" journos were right 90% of the time. The "calm down" crew? Mostly wrong.

Where do I get better regional news on stuff like this? My news intake is heavily biased to events in Anglophone countries, not regional neighbours.
The underlying cause of the dreadful disaster in #Indonesia may have been landslides triggered by intense rainfall, which transitioned into channelised debris flows and mudflows. This Planet Labs imagery shows an area south of Padang Pajang in Sumatra. There are many, many landslides.

“Strong floor, no ceiling” sounds like an outdoor Kegel exercise tape from the early 90s.

IMO, it raises the question of how useful are executives?
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Kids are so weird. I was in the pool during my 2yo lesson last week and another little kid just stepped off the ledge into the deeper water and obviously I scooped them up because the teacher was maybe 2m meters away, but kid didn’t even seem to notice?
