Brooks' farewell column raises uncomfortable questions about intellectual diversity in academia. As sociologists, have we created echo chambers that push legitimate conservative perspectives to the margins? Worth examining our own disciplinary blind spots. #sociology #AcademicSky nytimes.com/...

Yes. Cut flowers are awful. I will die on this hill. Masses of water, fertiliser and pesticides used to grow them, on land that could probably be used for food. Wrapped in huge amounts of plastic, transported in chilled vehicles. Thrown away after a week. The whole thing is a horrendous waste.

This is a thing all households should have at hand! You will be glad. Similarly, keep some pickled red onions and garlic confit around, these keep a long time and make everything better. www.anildash.com/2022/11/15/c...
