This is my home town. They also passed out recipe cards for Algerian food at the Farmers’ Market this weekend. They are SO excited, I hear they’ve even adapted our college chant of ‘ Rock Chalk, Jayhawk’ for the Algerian National Team.

Turns out (says @jburnmurdoch.ft.com) it's not so much an oversupply of graduates in the UK (the same would be true of other similar countries but it's not) as an undersupply of the kind of jobs that a better-performing, more productive economy would supply.

‘Is university still worth it?’ is the wrong question

The graduate earnings premium isn’t really measuring what most people think

All year long, the The Kansas City Chiefs have looked… tired. Just worn out. Three-under-three tired. Startup tired. Tired to their freaking bones. It’s a hard enough league. Then there’s the big night games, holiday games, overseas games…being the NFL’s show ponies. Add an extra month of games…

One of the things about this study is that a lot of baby and toddler books are written in house, by editors. So the study reveals the whiteness of editorial in kidlit even if not explicitly. But, big picture, this trend is unacceptable. I remember so many promises www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 4783: Place affects every aspect of a story. It shapes your characters, their relationships, their habits, their clothing, their culture, their food. Try thinking of place as a character, and count all the ways you can make your human characters interact with it.

During the draft, I decided to explain why the Sheduer saga made some people so angry/sad. It’s hard to see this kind of parallel sometimes when you’re in the majority. It’s like expecting fish to notice water. But once you see it…
