“Want nu hebben de Europeanen die altijd claimen dat ze de rules-based internationale orde steunen, exact het omgekeerde gedaan. Precies op een moment waarop veel landen het internationale recht uit het raam gooien, geven zij het een trap na. Wat rest, is de rauwe macht van individuele landen die zich nergens meer iets van aantrekken.”

Being Dead - “Godzilla Rising” (2024)
This whole album is pretty good. Very fun and clever. Of course they're from Austin.
A BC supporter described them as "The Mamas and The Papas meet the Elephant Six Collective" and I think that's a fitting description. Odd time signatures, lots of vocal harmonizing, and jangly pop guitars.
Great opening track here 👇

While stuck in Ilulissat I have tried to deal with the email backlog (again). But they come in way faster than I can deal with them.
I love the idea of inbox 0 but would literally achieve nothing else if I practiced it, and work would be very boring.
Anyone have suggestions for good systems that work for overwhelming numbers of emails?
I receive around 50-60 a day, at least half of them need me to do something, often something substantial so they're not just for info. #LifeOfAScientist #Emails #EmailEttiquette

Whatever’s going on in the employment market, it feels like there’s some kind of fever that needs to break — as bubbles bursting, as a recession, •something• — and it’s only after it does that in hindsight we’ll have some measure of clarity.
Yesterday my partner was like "We need to do yard work tomorrow" so I got outside at 8am, mowed the lawn, did some pond maintenance, and came back in and they said "It's 83 outside... you're done!"
And they are not going outside today...

At a time when strategists across Wall Street are dialing back their recession probabilities, Peter Berezin of BCA Research is doubling down.
