Good afternoon! This week's theme is Cityscapes. ------ 'St Paul's and Ludgate Hill' (c.1887) by William Logsdail (Private collection)
“By overestimating the importance of individual decision makers, the business school classroom avoids harder questions: Who made this person the legitimate protagonist? Whose knowledge is absent? Why are workers, regulators, communities, ecosystems or citizens rarely given equal standing?”
Sarah Emily Duff@sarahemilyduff.bsky.social · 2d ago‘Much of what has happened in business schools turned out to be the leading edge of a broader transformation: the corporatization of the university itself.’
Best protest sign from France’s national protest.
Meta trying to steal the Brazilian election really should be bigger news.

"In both the United States and Denmark, firms that appointed managers with business degrees cut wages and reduced labor’s share of income. Yet these companies didn’t become more productive, nor did they grow sales, investment or employment any faster."
Rachael@raen.eurosky.social · 2d agoI’ve worked at a business school, and was instructed to make up data for a case study. Honestly, it’s all worse than this prof says. But this is the way. Gift link
The elderly actually care about young people in France. The National protest was against government austerity & how the police treated the student protesters. Instead of cheering like they did in 🇺🇸when they crushed the student protesters under Biden, they’re genuinely upset about the treatment.
This article makes me think of one of my esteemed doctoral Religion advisors, who made the University of Chicago admin angry every year by submitting a proposal to construct a memorial on campus to the worldwide victims of the UChicago Economics Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/o...

something that occurred to me is, everyone knows it’s possible to become a musician with work and practice. but you can’t work on and practice music while staring slackjawed at your phone. the real promise of generative AI is the ability to ‘make’ ‘art’ without reducing your slackjawed scroll time

Zelensky smiled when asked by Sky News whether Trump was trying to make him a “scapegoat” for problems including low ratings, high diesel prices and the war in the Middle East. Zelenskyy initially stayed silent, then said: “That is my answer.” #Ukraine
#ArtHistory 🗃️ 🐡 Weekend vibes... 2,000 years ago, a bronze masterpiece immortalized a young girl playfully chasing a partridge. Stolen from an archaeological site in southern Spain and recently recovered, the sculpture is now on display at Madrid's Museo Arqueológico Nacional. (my 📸)
This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.
Friendly neighborhood biologist here again. I’ve been seeing lots of post on how simple biological sex is. Since sex in society is such a hot-button issue these days, we should be able to find the basis of biological sex in law, right? Let’s do it! Let’s find the basis of sex, round 2! 🧵
Rebecca R Helm@rebeccarhelm.bsky.social · 2y agoFriendly neighborhood biologist here. I see a lot of people are talking about biological sexes right now. Lots of folks make biological sex seem really simple. Well, since it’s so simple, let’s find the biological roots, shall we? Let’s talk about sex...[a thread] (Reposted from the other site)
So it was Musk's idea after all. He pitched throttling Ukraine's drone defenses, Trump said yes, the Pentagon carried it out, and then Musk spent days blaming Trump for the chaos he personally proposed. Four sources. Drones got through while these two pointed at each other.
you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

Dans un État de droit, on doit garantir le droit de manifester. Dans un État de droit, on doit protéger les manifestants, pas les réprimer. Dans un État de droit, on doit privilégier la désescalade, pas le recours aux armes. Surtout quand les manifestants sont des enfants.
There are so, so many verified diaries of white Union soldiers at the beginning of the war saying "I don't know about this, I condemn the deplorable violence" and then they get down there and see slavery with their own eyes and immediately go "John Brown was right we gotta kill these motherfuckers"
Erik Loomis@erikloomis.bsky.social · 4d agoAnd we can certainly condemn his violence. But let’s step back and remember just how horrible slavery was. On December 20, 1858, Brown, who had briefly returned to Kansas, led a party into Missouri to free slaves.
