Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

It was amazing to see intricate anatomical detail recreated so beautifully and vividly in knitted and crocheted cotton. Katharina is a medical doctor with a PhD in cultural anthropology, and she began her anatomical knitting in 2015.

One of the absolute highlights of my trip to Ingolstadt in September was seeing the exhibition ´Ansichtssache’ (a matter of perspective) at the German Medical History Museum. It showed the knitted anatomy of Katharina Sabernig, and I can’t say how much I loved it!

half of covid infections are asymptomatic… so testing is really the only way to know.
make sure to test correctly! take one test on one day and then take at least one other test the next day, or as stated by the instructions. it takes time for enough viral load to accumulate and pop a positive.

hey so if you’re not feeling well, please don’t go into work. if you have to, wear a mask. tbh wear a mask either way—it’s four days after thanksgiving. covid incubation time tends to be ~3-5 days. it’s peak get infected if you aren’t already time.
test for it. get paxlovid.
prevent it. mask up.

Today, let's celebrate a drawn and illuminated crane that functions as a pointing gesture to a new paragraph (in a fourteenth century manuscript). It looks like he is walking into the text, right? #bookhistory

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

Most people with Covid brain damage do not know they have Covid brain damage or don’t link their persistent new onset cognitive problems with a Covid infection. Same with post-Covid increased aggression - people don’t realize they’ve changed but standardized evaluation picks it up

Potential broad-spectrum antiviral. Shows efficacy against some of the worst shit. Utterly amazing news.
We're close to the world's first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral. In a breakthrough, researchers at the City University of New York have identified a promising path to the development of an antiviral that could be used to fight a wide range of deadly viruses, including future pandemic threats.

Yeah and let’s not overlook typeface, which is klan all the way
DHS and ICE just going all out with KKK imagery, language, and typeface.
“Save America. join ice url” is a direct callback to longtime KKK slogan “Save our land. Join the Klan.” (See below)
In second group, compare DHS’s “Protect the homeland” meme to a recent KKK “defend our homeland” flyer.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.
This is who MAGA is now.

Your yearly reminder that it’s almost time to prepare the prune Krampus
Forget cheese and pineapple hedgehog, every party needs an edible Krampus. Especially knowing how much children love prunes.

Yep. OP doesn’t put it together, but this is covid brain damage. Five years of letting a disease that damages the brain run rampant = universities full of students incapable of the work that pre-covid students were capable of.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
