It's foolhardy--soldiers in close contact with one another are more susceptible to spread disease. My maternal grandfather narrowly escaped the Spanish Flu when sailed to France in September 1918 and served during World War II. I'm lucky to be here, given his exposure.
What a disgraceful life to lead.
TRUST TEACHERS. Two words that, if people actually widely believed them, would utterly reform education in this country.
I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.
The Women's Print History Project collects bibliographic data on printed objects associated with women's production. I've been itching to query the data not limited by the UI, and ✨ I finally get to ✨ Here are some things I've been able to surface...

“The negative sentiment around AI has been growing steadily, and what’s changed is that the public has developed both the vocabulary and the lived experience to name what’s bothering them,” says Alondra Nelson, who led Biden's Office of Science and Tech Policy
Oh AI Overviews, never change.

I don't understand this, either. My children wanted autonomy: we made sure that the lines of communication were open, and that they could reach us or get assistance when needed, but we trusted them to make important decisions.
This can easily happen. Be sure to take care of yourself.
My grad program at The New School — also embattled — drew lots of like-minded students from Hampshire and Evergreen. All three embraced curiosity, humanity, and creativity. I remember that you rarely had to give the Hampshire kids an assignment: they already knew how to ask a beautiful question.
America’s war with Iran in a nutshell.
Fyi, if you're taking prilosec, omeprazole or another acid reducer, you're not able to absorb B vitamins and iron among other vitamins. They need acid/intrinsic factor. My grandmother had pernicious anemia and I struggle with macrocytic anemia. I take solgar B12 sublinguals and liquid complex daily
Sam Altman, like many fund managers, has a documented history raising capital from uni endowments. While unis & their endowment managers now keep alternative investments very "proprietary," there's a strong chance your institution is fiscally imbricated in the survival of its EdTech & AI partners.
Harvard's advising system for first- & second- year students wasn't working well. So they've killed it & replaced it with something worse.

As the world continues to crumble, historians keep churning out first rate scholarship.
Today I finished @csschmitt.bsky.social’s The Predatoy Sea, which will make you rethink entirely slavery and captivity in the 17th century Caribbean. A masterclass of scholarship.
Info about an account sharing viral video of the moon saying it’s Artemis 2 but it’s not, and that account is blocking people who point it out
Just in case folks miss this due to the block
Charlotte Edith Anderson Monture. 1890-1996 (Kanien’kehá:ka): Denied nurse training in Canada because of the Indian Act and that she was a Status Indian, Monture determinedly went to the United States and trained as a nurse in Philadelphia. After graduation, she served 18 months overseas in France in the US Army Nurse Corps during WWI. Monture was sent to Buffalo Base Hospital 23 in Vittel, France and where she was responsible for treating soldiers who were shot or gassed. Monture wrote in her diary about the long hours she had to work, and the badly injured soldiers she took care of. She was sometimes asked to help other medical centers near the front, or travel through the battlegrounds looking for hurt soldiers. After armistice in 1918, she returned to the Six Nations Reserve in Canada. She continued to work as a nurse and a midwife at a hospital in her community, among a lifetime of other community activities. She was a well-respected Elder on the Six Nations reserve in Ontario.

As someone who entered adulthood in the 80s, I think I know a few of the problems, and they're mostly about hope for the future. Stagnating real wages, high tuition, decreasing accessibility of home ownership in cities, the widening wage and wealth gap, worse nonwage compensation, climate change...
Yeah because I tried Mastodon in good faith and it was the social media experience of eating bran flakes while being glowered at by an angry German
