Réflexion sur les "bons élèves" des lycées défavorisés socialement et l'idée qu'ils seraient des "locomotives" pour les autres. Ce que j'observe, à mon petit niveau, c'est surtout que ces bons (ou très bons) élèves sont surtout totalement isolés intellectuellement. Même s'ils ont des amis, etc.

Wrote strange a story for @sciam.bsky.social about where on Earth you'd put a time capsule if you wanted to find it as far in future as possible. Maybe bury a laser-etched zircon in Namibia and hope it erodes out of central mountain range of Pangaea Ultima? www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-...
Could a Time Capsule Outlast Plate Tectonics?
A ridiculous but instructive thought experiment involving deep time, plate tectonics, erosion and the slow death of the sun

A diverse range of mammals once roamed the planet. This changed dramatically with the arrival of humans, who have become the dominant species through our own population, as well as the animals we breed and raise for food.

What is the distribution of the global mammal kingdom today?

Dire que la crise affaiblit les positions de Zelensky dans la négociation, me semble non seulement une paresse intellectuelle dommageable, mais aussi une posture qui accepte et absorbe le discours russe et désormais américain sur un pouvoir ukrainien illégitime à qui on peut tout imposer. 8/8

Elephants need more space than zoos can provide.

So where should they go?

Europe's first large-scale elephant sanctuary is about to launch in Portugal, promising a place that the elephants can live out their final years with space and companionship www.ft.com/content/060a...
Meet Portugal’s newest retirees: elephants
Without space to roam, the world’s biggest land animals do not thrive — so what should happen to those in Europe’s zoos? One sanctuary has an answer

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
