The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The thing about the Linehan case is that either the Judge is sympathetic to 'gender critical' ideology or British law thinks it's perfectly acceptable for a 57 year old man to stalk, doxx and physically attack a 17 year old girl.
Both explanations are horrifying.

I was the only person on my flight wearing a mask. I started doing it pre-Covid because I was fed up of catching viruses on planes.
Just imploring you to mask up. Flew home from an insanely wonderful mo of research in Paris last Sunday. Double masked but surrounded by coughing unmask travelers. By Thurs I was in the hospital. Out now but recovery is going to take a while from this random NON COVID virus. #WearAMask

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
