Cats Give the Laws of Physics a Biiiiig Stretch In October of 1894, at a meeting of the French Academy of Sciences, the renowned physiologist Étienne-Jules Marey showed a series of photographs that sent his colleagues into collective uproar.

The Trouble With Boutique Colleges I took a lot of static on social media this week after I wrote on Tuesday about my concerns that Biden’s executive order forgiving certain student loans for certain groups of borrowers might not be good politics for the Democrats going into an election. The anger is understandable. I think and write about politics, and I’m worried that centrist Democrats in tight races are already backpedaling away from the Biden plan. But for most people, “Will this help Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell?” is not the first thing that comes to mind if you offer to erase $10,000 of their debts. Continued here

Opinion | These 12 Teachers Don't See Themselves as Superheroes Across the United States, education has become one of the hottest and most keenly felt political issues. Ever since the Covid pandemic began, governors, mayors, union officials, legislators and school board members have been arguing — often quite fiercely — about fundamental questions: When should schools reopen? What should be taught there? What is the purpose of public education? Who should decide these questions? Continued here

English football has commercialism of US sports without their egalitarianism New Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly raised the hackles of some of English football’s most annoying people last week when he suggested that the Premier League could learn from America and consider introducing an All-Star-style game to boost TV revenue. “US investment into English football is a clear and present danger to the pyramid and fabric of the game,” thundered Gary Neville on Twitter, in an emblematic reaction. “They just don’t get it and think differently.” Continued here

I was a teenage Napster obsessive – and illegal downloading changed my music taste for good It's 6pm on a weeknight in 2002. I settle into a desk chair and thump the huge, round power button on the family computer with my big toe. It clunks like a manual typewriter returning. Several minutes of whirring and clunking ensue as Windows XP boots up, bathing my 13-year-old face in its harsh blue glow. Next, another few minutes of what sounds like Wall-E being fed through a meat grinder as I connect to the internet, preventing my mother from making or receiving phone calls for the next hour. I immediately open Napster and queue downloads for as many horribly compressed, incorrectly titled songs as possible and watch them race to 100%. Out of Reach by the Get Up Kids competes with Method Man's Bring the Pain. Jostling beneath them, probably: a selection of Slipknot singles, Fiona Apple's entire discography, an unspeakable amount of Ween. Also Tom Lehrer reciting the elements over a Gilbert and Sullivan tune, popular at the time for reasons I no longer remember. Continued here

Curry omelette and kitchri: Rukmini Iyer's recipes for quick Indian meals Quick, Indian-inspired dishes make for great weeknight dinners . With just a handful of store-cupboard spices, you can transform simple ingredients - eggs, rice, lentils - into a feast. Growing up, my mum always told me that kitchri, the dish from which kedgeree originated, was made during the monsoon season, because, even if you couldn't get out to the shops, you'd always have potatoes, rice and lentils in the cupboard. Here's my version, along with masala frittata, my favourite way to use up eggs and potatoes. Continued here

How Pierre Poilievre is trying to bring complex issue of marginal effective tax rates to the fore Interestingly, the Conservative candidate makes the case for tax and benefit reform not on the typical right-wing terrain of economic efficiency but rather through an appeal to equity.

The $300bn Google-Meta advertising duopoly is under attack For the past decade there were two more or less universally acknowledged truths about digital advertising.

Inside the most clandestine hall of fame voting process in all of sports "I've served in just about every capacity on every committee," the "Houdini of the Hardwood" says with pride one summer morning, calling from his home in Worcester, Massachusetts, about an hour's drive east from the hall in Springfield.

Nearly two decades later, in 1989, Cousy became the first Hall of Famer to be named president of the hall itself -- a short stint that he says was more honorary than hands-on. Continued here

The Restaurant Trend of the Fall Is Pure Chaos “It’s just a practical description,” he says. The restaurant is meant to be a representation of his friendship with co-owner Marcelo Baez, and the long-standing relationship between Mexico and Japan, and the menu will be “our way of reasserting our identity while continuing to cherish our culture.” It’s a reflection of their experiences as Mexican and Japanese, yes, but also as DJs and party promoters and New Yorkers. The “fusion” happening here is not meant to be about strict interpretations of one or the other cuisine, which means they can have some fun. Dishes will include birria ramen, al pastor sushi rolls, sashimi tostadas, and shrimp teriyaki tacos. “We can’t presume to know what diners are looking for in our space yet, since we’re not even open, but we hope they find a restaurant they love.” Continued here

The Right to Not Be Pregnant, by Charlotte Shane I’ve never wanted to be pregnant, and I’ve been pregnant three times. Each time I learned the news, my commitment to what I’d already known was confirmed viscerally and instantaneously—with the unshakable certainty of no. I say “no” often. I think “no” frequently. I am no stranger to “no.” But this refusal lived at a different depth. It saturated me. It constituted me like my lungs and my limbs and my mind. No, I do not want to be pregnant, I do not want to give birth, I do not want to have children. I wasn’t choosing because there was no choice. I didn’t want to be pregnant. No. Continued here

High-Performing Teams Don't Leave Relationships to Chance Research has shown that employees with close connections at work are more productive, creative, and collaborative. They’re also more satisfied with their job, less susceptible to burnout, and less likely to leave. Managers can create the conditions for work friendships to flourish through three simple actions. First, make it easier for employees to identify commonalities. When you introduce a new hire, share colorful details about their personal interests in your welcome message. This will show you care about them as people, and make it easier for them to bond with others who share the similar interests. Second, you can highlight shared goals. Draw attention to projects that require a team effort or emphasize how your goals can only be achieved by working together. Finally, turn tension into connection. Disagreements can offer a lot of value, including more creative solutions, better decision-making, and higher performance. You can turn moments of tension into connection by recommitting to work together (“I bet we can figure this out”), acknowledging people’s contributions (“You clearly put a lot of work into this”) or valuing their expertise (“I’ve always appreciated your insight into clients”).

The Big Bang should have made cracks in spacetime--why haven't we found them? Cosmic strings are kind of like that but for physics. They are hypothetical leftovers from the momentous transformations experienced by our Universe when it was less than a second old. They are defects, flaws in space itself. They’re no wider than a proton, but they may potentially stretch across the observable volume of the Universe. They have unspeakable powers—the ability to warp space so much that circles around them never complete, and they carry enough energy to unleash planet-destroying levels of gravitational waves. They’re also the path into some of the most exotic physics known (and unknown) to science. Continued here
