Hard copy is usually beautiful. The fade comes from a worn microfilm of the original. That also means if you have access to a different copy of the microfilm that it can be better too.

Universities have lost their way, but cost-cutting and consultants are not the answer
Last week in Sydney, we saw a melodrama acted out that could stand in for the state of Australian universities more generally.

But how do you even stop this? If my uni told me this, I’d be very happy to remove their bi-line from the remainder of things I produce that year. Are they going to fire me for writing too much?

The stock market is treated as a neutral good that every citizen needs to invest in.

…You’re screwed. Nobody has asked whether it’s moral or right that the state legislate people gamble their money like this. Nor is the stock market explored as potentially unethical practice. Nor does the state ask what liability they hold if people have nothing after a stock crash.

The ethics of this are also really dubious. In Oz we have compulsory superannuation, which is invested by the company your super is with. You can sometimes indicate whether you are conservative or not but don’t select your investment. And if the stock market crashes two weeks before retirement …

Yes, it’s a whole thing. People used to eat pages of the Bible for talismanic reasons and other love objects stand in a similar tradition.

Anybody got suggestions for 18thC novels with child protagonists that aren’t ‘children’s books’? The novels we read and don’t really think about the children. TIA for recommendations!

I think they really wanted to put this into practice but were too caught up in a performance of what they were meant to do. They were a pretty new doctor.

I once went to a MD who did their empathy training on me - touched my hand, looked into my eyes, repeated what I said. I knew what and why they were doing it and the only impression I was left with was horror that they couldn’t even fake empathy for a patient. So I’m not sure this can be taught.
