My daughter used to be in Rainbows, like the girl in this story.
She coloured in. She iced some biscuits. Did some games.
She was welcomed.
She played, laughed and joined in.
The cruelty is entirely the point. When did bullying little girls become the norm. 1/2
Extremely worrying😢

Carlos Alcaraz hitting some of these cross-court shots nearly 5.5 hours in is hard to fathom.
What an incredible match. My goodness.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner’s Roland Garros final becomes the 2nd longest Grand Slam final in the Open Era.
1. Djokovic & Nadal 2012 Australian Open, 5 hours, 53 minutes.
2. Alcaraz & Sinner 2025 Roland Garros, 5 hours, 29 minutes.
It was an honor to witness it.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

We don't just need universities to train doctors and engineers... We also need humanists, to help us to understand the world we live in. I am striking because we need to educate the next generation of teachers, journalists, and opinion makers.
