If everyone has impostor syndrome, does it exist at all?

Brendan Costello was about to be disconnected from the ventilator. His relatives were told he would never regain consciousness. Then a phone call interrupted the moment. Seems he had other plans. My story. Photos by Sarah Blesener. Audio by Parin Behrooz.

It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris

There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm.

And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight

Maybe my second-favorite @nytimes.com feature is the daily The Great Read, which is typically a narrative that can come from any corner of the newsroom. Metro is lucky enough to have a city of 8.5M stories, so we do plenty of them. Almost four dozen of them in 2024. Here they are: 🧵

Time for a #painting. "Kilkenny Field" came from cycling in Carlow and Kilkenny. An idyllic day because of the villages and the Barrow. It was near the river I was in a tunnel of shade as the sun whispered at me through sky holes when a gap gave me this field so I stopped and stared. #SpeirGorm #Art

"Four of Maga’s most influential voices are fiftysomething white men with formative experiences in apartheid South Africa.This probably isn’t a coincidence. I say that as a fiftysomething white man whose formative experiences include childhood visits to my extended family in apartheid South Africa."

Just read the Nvidia way following @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com advice. 2/3 of this was one of best business books ever. Informative/ fun. Great stories of the company and the industry in 80s 90s especially.
