I have spent the last decade customizing my notes to optimize my workflow. I have done comparatively zero actual work. This is the highest form of productivity: building a cathedral to the idea of doing things.

I've done so much reading of dense academic texts in research to understand why I can't focus when reading dense academic texts

Finally, some good news:

UK to rejoin EU’s Erasmus student exchange programme

An agreement to rejoin Erasmus – the EU’s student exchange programme – is expected to be announced on Wednesday as part of the UK government’s drive towards closer relations with Brussels. [..] British students would be able to participate in vocational training placements across the EU under the Erasmus Plus scheme, as well as university-based study exchanges.

The UK rejoining the £23bn Erasmus scheme has been a key demand from EU capitals as part of “reset” talks, alongside a mobility deal that would grant young Europeans the right to live and work in the UK for several years and Britons to do the same in Europe.

De hele wereld: 6-7 is een exponent van de hersenrot van deze tijd.
NPO: Kinderen vinden 6-7 gewoon leuk. *interviewt een hoop kinderen*
in reply to Rob van Kan🔻

@edgeofeurope Toen ik de video’s zag, kon ik me wel vinden in hersenrot. In mijn jeugd had ik dit soort kinderen idioten gevonden. Eh, net als nu dus.
Andersom zou ik weleens willen zien hoeveel Nederlandse kinderen het zouden tolereren, dat hun opa hen met de kerst gedichten voorleest.
in reply to Wenslauw

Het aardige is dat landelijke aandacht het fenomeen gelijk doodt. Want als deze kerst alle suffe ooms en oma's 6-7 gaan doen, dan is het afgelopen.


#Aeroflot Flight 6502: when a pilot's ego killed 70 passengers - boingboing.net/2025/12/16/aero… "the pilot, Alexander Kliuyev, made a bet with his crew: he wagered he could land the aircraft using instruments only, with the cockpit windows completely curtained off.

He couldn't." #russia

glad he survived to at least go to prison and with living with all those people he killed. Dying would have been too easy.

The republican version of the Trolley Problem:

A trolley is rolling down a track. It's a perfectly normal track. Nothing bad will happen if the trolley continues on this path. However, with the flip of a lever you can redirect the trolley to a different track where it will run over like a million people--okay fine Kristi, a million people and a puppy. Whatever. Now, what is the minimum amount of money for which you'd--oh you've already flipped it? Just because? ...Wow.
