Thursday assorted links

1. Are these the most beautiful colleges in America?  Where is the brutalism?  UC Irvine has some.  I feel like I have been to way, way too many of those campuses.

2. Facts about egg supply chains.

3. Good robot photos in this NYT story about China.

4. “Apply to our 1517 garage science cohort – we’re looking for renegade scientists to kickstart a revolution”

5. Greek primary surplus is 4.8% of gdp, remarkable.  And Argentina forecasts are now for 5.5% growth for 2025, also wonderful.
