I would find it much more interesting to name all the women who won Nobel prizes for men. I can start with Franklin and Meitner, anyone wants to go on?

Great review of one of my favorite books from the last year, the collection of Paglen's essays, _How to See Like a Machine_. www.publicbooks.org/the-treacher...

“The bombed elementary school in Iran appears to have become a target thanks to satellite imaging. In this case, what the image represented — and to who — was a matter of life and death.”

I have a trans child and my message to parents who say they would make their kids wait is: no you wouldn't. Not if you loved them.

Enjoyed this very much. I do usually look forward to Soderbergh's films. Phenomenal pairing of McKellan and Coel and funny too.

Oh HELL YEAH, the Libertarian debacle that is Von Ormy, TX comes to No Gods, No Mayors. San Antonio mentions, mispronunciations of Bexar County, and malignantly bonkers politicians abound.

I'm not engaging any more with non archaeologists who refuse to cite a *single* study that shows widespread evidence for war and fascism/ authoritarian rule in the ca 400,000 ish years pre agricultural revolution and millions of years before... b/c they don't exist. 0 evidence. We were peaceful.

Locally prices are fluctuating less and now inching up here and there, some package sizes are shrinking, and some of the usual sales and deals have been absent for quite a while. Seems like the creep will now be more frequent and noticeable.

Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."
The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in
FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.
This model has no place in world football. Football's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain.
Europe's position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.

Our current regional weather “normal” seems to be that of wildly swaying between heat domes and flooding rain. A week or two of one, a week or two of the other.
