Japan continued their World Cup tradition of cleaning up after matches 💯

After drawing against the Netherlands, fans cleaned the stands and the team cleaned the locker room 🫡

Reading scores, 3rd graders to 8th graders, 2015 to 2025. This is a national tragedy.

Former Senior NIAID Official Indicted for Concealing Federal Records During COVID-19 Pandemic

“These allegations represent a profound abuse of trust at a time when the American people needed it most — during the height of a global pandemic,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “As alleged in the indictment, Dr. Morens and his co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19. Government officials have a solemn duty to provide honest, well-grounded facts and advice in service of the public interest — not to advance their own personal or ideological agendas.”

In 2016 Norway gave every 5-year-old child an iPad.

Within a few years, Norway's reading scores plummeted and dropped below the OECD average.

They ranked dead last out of 65 countries.

Now Norway is spending millions of dollars to reverse this trend and get people reading.

In the United States car seat laws mandating use until age 8 save 57 lives each year at the cost of about 8,000 births.

This is unfathomably absurd.

1) Fabricate a teaching case on neonatal opioid toxicity
2) Publish it as though it is a real case report
3) Watch it get cited in a court case and a doctoral thesis
4) Years later, casually admit in a taxi: “Oh, we made it up.”

New @FamStudies: Almost "every rule a parent imposes makes parenting feel harder. But virtually every parental-enforced rule is linked to better parent-child relationships."

✔️ Strict bedtime
✔️ Screentime limits
✔️ Dedicated HW time

I once heard my boss man say to another employee “You know John, you’re not the sharpest pencil in the box” and without skipping a beat the guy replied “Welp boss man, a sharp pencil is a sign it ain’t never done a lick of work”. I think about that to this day.

@maxdubler And there are other real benefits such as fewer corrective maintenance requests and time spent cleaning and fixing things.

I'm trying to train Claude to read the weekly emails from my kids school and reliably summarize them and print a list of action items. It is losing its damn mind and rapidly spiraling into madness. I feel vindicated

UPDATE:
The journal Nature has officially retracted the fake climate study that JP Morgan used in its ESG report.

The Biden admin relied on this junk research as well. And numerous financial institutions and European central banks continue to employ it in policymaking.

Howard Gardner (Harvard professor and inventor of "multiple intelligences" theory):

"Even if...the bad guys [who emphasize the importance of IQ] turn out to be more correct scientifically than I am, life is short, and we have to make choices about how we spend our time. And that's where I think the multiple intelligences way of thinking about things will continue to be useful even if the scientific evidence doesn't support it."
