Sunday assorted links

1. Being on Twitter boosts legal citations.

2. Sadly, there may be some truth to this: “I have a theory that the core of right-groyper and left-groyper trends is that the Internet is kind of culturally fascist and economically trends towards producing micro doses of race war propaganda.”

3. Interview with Hanno Lustig.

4. Tanzania on the wane, not long ago it was (supposedly) on a very good path.

5. Fra Angelico (NYT).

6. What happens when you try to have more than thirteen kids? (NYT)

7. Derya: “Earlier this year, I also said we should reduce PhD positions by at least half & shorten completion time. Only the most passionate should pursue a PhD. In the age of AI, steering many others toward this path does them a disservice given the significant opportunity costs.”

Go see Alexandre Kantorow (piano) live if you ever have the chance.  Of all the pianists I have seen in concert, dating back to Vladimir Horowitz and further, he is the one who best captures what I imagine Franz Liszt might have been like.
