“you have died of dysentery” was not meant to be aspirational
I can’t believe there are all these idiots who want to go back to when people just used to shit themselves to death 75 percent of the time

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it transform the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better.

The traffic got BETTER.

Isto agora fez-me pensar na primeira coisa que dei ao marido e… foi uma bolsa de gel tripartida para ele fazer gelo no joelho lesionado 🫠
Tenho uns boxers da Benetton que vão para o lixo, estão rotos 🥹. Foram das primeiras prendas que a minha mulher me ofereceu.
Acompanharam-me durante 21 anos. Já não se faz roupa como antigamente.

There was no such thing as feudalism. We've known it for decades. 19 out of 20 students in my freshman seminar were all taught about feudalism in middle school.

Eu aqui a pensar que não sei quanto é que é preciso saber desta situação toda para se efetivamente saber, e portanto sei lá eu o que ler - porque não sei quem sabe escrever.

Pequenos passos na desconstrução da ideia de que a utilização de cosméticos é frívola. (Além disso, andaríamos todos com cáries e a tresandar, porque champô, gel de banho, sabonete e pasta de dentes são cosméticos)

Ligaram-me na quarta por causa de uma entrega. Problema: é um press release, não sei de quem é, não foi entregue na quarta e não voltaram a tentar ontem. Foi parar ao éter das encomendas, não foi?

When facing the "All we need is STEM!" approach to education, my usual response is: Developing the vaccine was the STEM problem; distribution & getting shots in arms was the Social Science problem; getting people to trust it & combatting misinformation was the Humanities problem-- which did we fail?

Para quem usa eReaders para ler livros, recomendo que dêem uma vista de olhos ao site do projeto Adamastor. Lá podem encontrar em formato digital (e descarregar gratuitamente), dezenas de obras de autores Portugueses que se encontram já em domínio público.

Sabes que és assumidamente millennial quando tens o TikTok enfiado na pasta de apps de trabalho (e consequentemente nunca usas a menos que precises de consultar alguma coisa).

Há aquele momento em que marcas uma tarefa gigante para um dia “daí a uns meses” porque nessa altura o fim do projeto está perto. Hoje foi esse dia. No momento em que estou quase a terminar a tarefa hercúlea do dia, cai-me em cima um novo projeto que vai ter de ser iniciado antes deste terminar.
