A quotation from Joseph Addison

A man’s first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart; his next to escape the censures of the world: if the last interferes with the former, it ought to be entirely neglected; but otherwise there cannot be a greater satisfaction to an honest mind, than to see those approbations which it gives itself seconded by the applauses of the public: a man is more sure of his conduct, when the verdict which he passes upon his own behaviour is thus warranted and confirmed by the opinion of all that know him.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-07-20), The Spectator, No. 122

The Pakistan Army doesn’t just protect borders, they’ve been on the frontlines of healthcare, polio drives, and every major national emergency. When DG ISPR says “one unit”, he means it, in action, not just words. 🇵🇰

Let the colleges fail – The Hill

By Richard Vedder, Opinion Contributor – 05/17/25 9:00 AM ET

The U.S. is known for having exceptional private business enterprises. It is the prime mover in creating the most powerful and bountiful economy in history and also for having great colleges and universities. Its schools dominate world college rankings and draw students from throughout the world.

Yet American universities are facing a dramatic decline in public support.

This is manifested in lower enrollments today than a dozen years ago and widespread threats to their funding, as both the Trump administration (via threats to revoke tax exemptions, reduced research support, etc.) and Congress pose what some college leaders deem existential threats to their very existence. Additionally, some state governments are beginning to sharply increase their intervention into the affairs of public universities that have historically exercised a great deal of independence.

A major reason corporations are faring far better than universities in today’s public policy milieu can be explained by one word: ownership. Everyone knows who owns and controls the operations of American companies, but who “owns” or controls our universities?

We all know that Elon Musk makes the key decisions at SpaceX and Tesla, but who does so at elite universities like Harvard or Stanford, or even at distinctly less selective and prestigious schools, such as Ball State University in Indiana or the University of District Columbia?

This bit suggests that we need a campaign much like an advertising or marketing campaign to get climate action going:

"Although the average message effects were moderate, the results indicate that, when deployed at a large scale and repeated often, messages have the potential to substantially strengthen for climate action."

@3x10to8mps Nah it's because all the shelters in LA serve nothing but eggs and random ass shit they get donated for breakfast ,because for some reason they never use the funding they get for food.

Or sheets or pillow cases. Or even really pillows. I used a pile of torn up towels.

Or paying the staff enough to deal with the mentally insane and addicted.

Or maintenance.

Come to think of it-

Where the fuck is it going anyway?
