A quote from Epictetus: โDonโt just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.โ

I am reading the new book by the Facebook / Meta whistleblower - Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams.
Interesting bit where she says that the big tech bosses all push their products on other people's kids but refuse to let their own kids use them.

Man disrupts TV interview about women feeling unsafe in public spaces and refuses to leave GRANADA WOMEN SAFETY Tuesday 3 December 2024 at 5:52pm ITV Granada Reports journalist Anna Youssef was interviewing the mother and daughter when the man interrupted their chat
A mother and daughter telling their story about feeling unsafe in public spaces had to halt their interview - after a man interrupted filming and became aggressive. Gill Jones was speaking about a family night out which ended in a violent brawl after a stranger tried to sexually assault her daughter Beth Fletcher. But, just moments after they began, a man - who ITV has chosen to anonymise - appeared and sat in the middle of the park bench, between the women and the journalist.
When it was explained they were filming an ITV News story about a charity event and the man was politely asked if he could wait a few minutes to finish filming, he refused, despite there being other empty benches nearby. The man then became verbally aggressive and threatening and, for the safety of everyone involved, the group were left with no option but to leave the area. Ironically, the story they were trying to film was about a campaign by the charity Tomorrow's Women to create more safe spaces for women.
But we are told that we are overreacting though.

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a partridge in a pear tree.
Ate it.

The James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) captured this striking image of Arp 142, a pair of interacting galaxies. Their close encounter has distorted their shapes and triggered a burst of star formation. A bridge of gas and dust stretches between the two galaxies, showcasing the violent and dynamic nature of galactic interactions.

This is Arp 142, two interacting galaxies NGC 2936 and NGC 2937.
