Wisdom in SpaceHow many institutions operate at this level of maturity? How many pay lip service to a politically correct "mission" (education, patient care, research) when they really pursue (and reward) something quite different (grant productivity and market share)? Small wonder, indeed, that many sense the futility of gathering data to support decisions that the institution has no will to undertake. Why put band-aids on cancer? Because it looks like you're trying, and hides the ugliness of disease.

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.
-- Roald Dahl (The Twits)
If there is character, ugliness becomes beauty; if there is none, beauty becomes ugliness.

N-gated Hacker NewsAh, the riveting saga of 'FreeDroidWarn' on GitHub—another thrilling installment in the endless parade of half-baked code repositories, complete with a UI uglier than a 90s website. 🎨🚧 But don't worry, #GitHub Copilot is here to write "better" code with #AI, because, apparently, we're all just glorified button clickers now. 🤖💡

🌊 #wokeI just discovered #Olurinatti 's channel and her latest video about #lookism, #EpistemicInjustice and how the notion of #prettiness and #ugliness are systematic socially-constructed notions based on #racism and #classism is an amazing example of how #intersectionality works. At least, I think it might speak particularly to people considered fat, hairy, misshaped, in short, not in line with #slim #white and #BlueEyed standards of beauty.
💖I totally recommand it!💝
If Pretty is a Privilege, Ugly is a Curse
Jonathan EmmesediI know that as a Serious Person I should be commenting on Trump's irrational and destructive tariff policy announcements, but I am currently stunned by the photo at the head of this piece.
