New from Alexandra Edwards: There’s a particular kind of despair that comes from watching an institution abandon its principles in real time. It’s not the dramatic betrayal of a single moment. It’s slower than that. https://www.texasobserver.org/tcu-eliminates-academic-programs-extremists/

I've decided I want to learn some Bach keyboard pieces next. I have a piano. Which ones would you recommend?

The most thought provoking article I have read this week:

A Norwegian bus company wants to know if their buses could be abused by China in the case of war.

So they drive two buses deep into a limestone mine to isolate them from the internet and forensically investigate how they work.

In the mine, investigators discover a Chinese kill switch which could destroy all Chinese buses.

In Denmark, that is 57 percent of the bus fleet.
