"Initiative involves the willingness to move first and to see around corners, defining the next what-if, rallying others and building something meaningful even when the path is uncertain."

I agree heartily with this article about the utility of a college education. 🌾🌿🧪🎓

Colleges teach the most valuable career skills when they don’t stick narrowly to preprofessional education
Parents and policymakers want job security for graduates, but in the AI and automation era, careers may depend as much on curiosity and initiative as on credentials.

Yeah but for now.....my goodness. Ice in his veins and good from 60+
I do *not* like the Lions’ kicker’s motion (Bates). He’s using all hips to generate his power, which means when his timing goes, that ball’s going wherever his hips are pointed at contact. I give him 3-5 years unless he makes significant fundamental changes.

@jeffjarvis.bsky.social Thankful for your afterword chapter "And what of the book?" in The Gutenberg Parenthesis. It hadn't occurred to me to just let the book be the book. It's as fundamental as a spoon or a wheel, and it doesn't have to be replaced. Libraries, however, do need to evolve...

Yeah, @chuckwendig.bsky.social, I'm just not all that excited about seeing "bats" and "fungus" in the same sentence. Thanks, but no thanks.

Ummm, wow.
“Because bats feed on crop pests, their disappearance led to a surge in pesticide use. Research found a rise in infant mortality in areas where the bats had been wiped out.”
