Next time someone asks you to sum up MAGA in 30 seconds or less, show them this clip of Andrew Tate explaining why he doesn't read books.
I was forced to watch TV news when I had breakfast in a diner recently and I strongly resonated with the sentiment that being an intelligent person in America today is like being awake during a surgery.

Reading a paper on #DataSharing and the motivation behind it. One major factor, which has been confirmed time and again, is the proper recognition of data sharing or better the lack thereof. And the authors do not credit the reused original data! π

[From Wikipedia] Catbus (Japanese: γγγγΉ, Hepburn: Nekobasu) is a fictional character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur. Here we see Catbus with a manic expression on their face as they zoom out of the sky and across the landscape leaving behind a Catbus-colored (tan and brown striped) streaking trail of jagged letters reading βMaybe it will happen todayβ.

Cover of Why the West Rules--for Now by Ian Morris. Title and author name with abstract shapes of color and a somewhat surreal painting of what I assume is Neptune (with his trident) and a lion staring down a group of gods/people/horses, some of whom are reaching out towards him.
#27 Why the West Rules--for Now by Ian Morris. Basically, a comparative history of China vs. Europe/North America. Uses a self-devised "social development index" as the basis of his analysis, and this is explained in a companion volume that I have not read. Interesting but no idea if accurate.
Cover of The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig. Title and author name superimposed on an artistic image of a rocky landscape with a wildly-starry sky above.
#26 The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig. Etymogically-correct made-up terms and literary descriptions of complicated emotions and feelings. A sample: ludiosis
