Grey weather on the Mainline today. I grieve the crossing over of Charles Handy, the philosopher and business thinker.

What he called (w twinkle in his blue eyes) a “management guru…or charlatan(!)”.

A better human.
May he inspire you too toward your purpose.

What stage of capitalism is this?

“The airline industry is contesting a new FAA rule that would force airlines to address serious flaws in potentially thousands of Boeing 737 planes — and they have powerful industry-connected allies in the Trump administration.”

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

The fruit has a custard-like texture and a flavor that’s somewhere between a banana and a mango, some say with hints of pineapple. While many people have never heard of them, they are the largest edible tree fruit native to the U.S

Typos aside, there is simply no such thing.

ECGs are not an indicator of age.

They literally do not contain that information, either directly or indirectly.

This is just made up gobbledygook.

So, my question is: why?

My wife is an elementary school teacher for the last 15 years. I've been teaching at the college level about the same amount. I was recently told by family that they wouldn't "kowtow" to our experience when it came to their knowledge about what was 'wrong' with schools. They knew better.

Great kicker. Marc Benioff’s PR team wanted him to do an interview about philanthropy. Instead he sounded off on a bunch of Trump policies he supports and called for the White House to send troops to SF.

Doesn’t seem like the comms team was pleased with how the interview went..
