A fantastic piece by someone I’ve admired for a long time (and who does the Serious Trouble podcast).

RIP Pope Francis. This from the Stations of the Cross he led last Friday: “Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of Hell.”

The percentage of employees who strongly agree that their organization cares about their overall wellbeing tied a record low of 21% in early 2024 and remained just above that mark in August. www.gallup.com/394424/indic...

Given the choice today between grading student papers almost certainly written using AI and preparing my webinar presentation tomorrow on business involvement in war crimes, I’m definitely preferring the latter. #teachingintheAIerasucks

Whatever happens next, the fall of the Assad regime means the end of a horrible tyranny. Thinking tonight of its many many victims.

Someone at the UN Business and Human Rights Forum in Geneva described himself as a “constructive pessimist,” which is an excellent description of my research stance!

@ritamota.bsky.social is pretty much my only source for new music. People should follow her just for her taste in that arena, not to mention her passion for human rights and social justice!
