For companies that didn't have a technical/legal roadblock to remote working, if you couldn't get teams to work well together remotely, that's a failure of leadership, not the work model.

Oh my god this is insane - I’m struggling to find a comparison but it’s something like “the Navy cancelled all submarines”
Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history
It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women

Feed cleanse: cool rocks I got at World of Rocks in Ypsilanti, MI. Clockwise from the little obelisk: sodalite, orca agate, amethyst d10, fluorite d8, and a tiny piece of amber. Nice folks running the place and such cute drawings on the ID tags in store.

Closing in on a kilometer of yarn 🧶 so far on this continuous granny square blanket! Yarn is Big Twist Living in “Confidence”, aka pan flag colors. Losing Joann Fabrics to private equity is heartbreaking (and infuriating) for so many reasons. #crochet

An astronomy professor colleague of mine once relayed trying to explain to his students why it was important that they actually write their class reports themselves. “The point is not to teach ME about neutron stars,” he said.
Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.
