We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing “the” labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.

Happy birthday to Jules Pfeiffer, who is still with us at age 94. He and Mike Nichols crafted one of the signature films of the early 1970s about changing sexual mores: Carnal Knowledge. No spoilers review at link.

It seems to me the entire doctor financing system is broken.
Huge loans + tiny resident salaries + mind-boggling specialist salaries feels like each part is trying to fix the others

PSA: I have now hit what will be my new normal on this site. I was planning to cut down anyway as part of my new year's resolution to spend more time in ftf interaction...the technical decline of the platform combined with many interesting people leaving reinforced the decision.

Some baselines: The professoriate is highly unrepresentative of the U.S. along many ideological and demographic dimensions: heterodoxacademy.org/blog/how-well-
There are significant skews with respect to class background as well (although they're difficult to visualize in the same way)

An underappreciated advantage of having a profile page: When you email people my age to follow up on our conversation a few months ago at a conference or the like, a lot of us immediately Google you because our memories suck and we can't place you just based on your name.

I am doing Dry January with a few friends. It’s different going to bars, but in SF/Berkeley/Oaklland most bars have mocktales. A friend found Hoppy Refresher which is great, and non-alcoholic beer is a good proxy in a brown bottle.
