years ago read about a neuroimaging study done on drummers and basically, y’all rewire your brains in ways that kinda obliterate that whole “left brain vs right brain” shtick:
“Neuroscience and Music: Insights from Drummers’ Brains”
Psychology Today https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-asymmetric-brain/201912/neuroscience-and-music-insights-drummers-brains
you know, seeing how primates use their limbs, maybe it’s an evolutionary skill we forgot on our way to being humans?
anyways, to me drummers brains are just bananas.
LinkedIn Is Quietly Scanning Your Browser Every Time You Visit
Research published on browsergate.eu reports that LinkedIn silently scans visitors' Chromium-based browsers for over 6,000 installed extensions, revealing indicators of sensitive personal data like religion, health, politics, and job-search activity. The platform can easily link findings to identified user profiles, which raises serious GDPR, ePrivacy, and general privacy and legal concerns.
**Switch to Firefox for LinkedIn, or use a separate Chrome profile with no extensions installed when visiting the site. And load up on all ad and script blocker extensions you can find, like Ublock Origin, Ublock Lite, Privacy Badger...**

“This isn't a rumour or a conspiracy theory. The code is sitting in a JavaScript file that LinkedIn serves to every visitor. Anyone with basic developer tools can open it and read it. A LinkedIn engineering manager has confirmed the practice under oath in a German court filing. An investigation called "BrowserGate," run by an association of LinkedIn business users called Fairlinked, has documented the system in detail”
Them: if you set aside all the ethical concerns…
Me: this is what evil is. This is how evil talks.
Class casts a long shadow: graduates from disadvantaged backgrounds earn 13% less a decade after leaving university; a gap larger than headline gender pay gaps.
Controling for University & course choice this gap drops to around 7%, but when you compare graduates with the same degree, from the same university *and* the same employer, a gap remains. Around 5% lower pay persists; over £2,800 a year.
Think class is a thing of the past?
