If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

I do not write much but there is not a day goes by that I do not think of you.

“The study’s most popular finding, which made global headlines last year, was that climate change would cost $38 trillion (around €32.54 trillion) a year by 2049. This has been reduced to $32 trillion (around €27.4 trillion).” Sure, let’s argue about whether the hole we’re sunk in really is a well.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI. I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

An estimated 40.8 million people worldwide are living with HIV, and it killed about 630,000 people last year. ➡️ https://l.euronews.com/Bs23

This World AIDS Day, we honor the voices and activism that shaped the global fight against HIV/AIDS. "Victory Deferred"—a defining history of the crisis by journalist John-Manuel Andriote—is now an open access edition, free for all to read on the Internet Archive: blog.archive.org/2025/12/01/a...

Il y a 9 ans, le Canada s’est engagé à mettre fin au sida comme menace pour la santé publique d’ici 2030, un but commun avancé par l’ONU. Malgré les progrès, la lutte contre le VIH est toutefois loin d’être terminée. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/fr/nouve...

On #WorldAIDSDay we remember Canadian surgeon Lucille Teasdale, who worked tirelessly to improve healthcare in Uganda for her entire career. Diagnosed with HIV in 1985, she lived 11 years with AIDS, continuing to care for patients.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50. I’m 58 now. HIV treatment works. Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex. Ensure HIV treatment for all. End HIV stigma. #WorldAIDSDay

“… a lack of archaeological evidence and problems with distinguishing domestic cats from their wild counterparts based on the DNA in their bones have left some major gaps in the house cats’ history.”

A reminder that Franklin is a book character from Canadian author Paulette Bourgeois and Canadian illustrator Brenda Clark. As a Canadian, Franklin would only be able to enlist if he already had a Green Card (PR). As a Canadian, he would have the right of return to Canada if deported from the US.

just a reminder that *lots* of countries have universities, and (to my knowledge) none of them but the U.S. treat their universities as largely minor league sports franchises

Remember kids, if you raise taxes and reduce tax-benefitted savings incentives, investors will run away. Oh wait!
