I need them to understand that kowtowing to these people will not keep them safe in the long run. Standing up will

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

This is it. I've met them, been on dates with them, seen the disdain oozing off of them, and dipped out. They're not slick

Screen shot of article that says: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished. The data appear to have been mistakenly posted but includes crucial information about the risks of bird flu to people and pets.
In one household, an infected cat might have spread the virus to another cat and to a human adolescent, according to a copy of the data table obtained by The New York Times. The cat died four days after symptoms began. In a second household, an infected dairy farmworker appears to have been the first to show symptoms, and a cat then became ill two days later and died on the third day.
The table was the lone mention

The CDC apparently posted and then removed data that indicated that bird flu may have been transmitted between cats and humans. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

The 1920s plan to make criminals confess to a terrifying skeleton Would you confess your crimes to a skeleton with "an unnatural ghastly glow"? Inventor Helene Shelby thought you would.

In the 1920s, a woman in California had an amazing idea to put suspected criminals in a dark room with a glowing skeleton to have them confess their crimes

My entire team is remote. We've been able to source the best talent from around the country and consistently beat our productivity goals.

I truly believe the resistance to WFH is about a desire for control (making your own little fiefdom) from some organizations.

Horror is extremely political, especially given obscenity laws in restricting content in horror movies. It's a shame he didn't think past his basic "blood and guts are cool" instinct

I've completely redone my spreadsheet of universities to apply for my PhD.

It's now heavily weighted towards programs outside the US.
