Parental leave at my school is relatively good (by US standards), but whenever people say “How lucky!” I have to correct them. No, it wasn’t luck. This is a legally-binding policy my union fought for. Don’t minimize the fight.


Volunteering in support of sporting events - it's a tricky area, ethically speaking. This post to Reddit explains why (I made someone really angry for deleting a post asking for advice on how to volunteer in support of F1 racing).

@eedly there are MANY such situations. And FIFA and the NFL are both nonprofits with millionaires playing and volunteers working behind the scenes. And then there are for profit hospices and elder care homes... It's murky.

Spouse worked for a for-profit hospice organization briefly. They kept losing nurses and adding managers. Didn't seem sustainable.

The US and #Japan signed the Harris Treaty OTD in 1858; it opened the ports of Kanagawa and four other Japanese cities to trade and granted extraterritoriality to foreigners cromwell-intl.com/travel/japan… #travel #history


New, by me: Google refused to say if it received a secret UK court order, like Apple did, demanding the company build a backdoor for accessing encrypted user data.

Meta said it hasn't received one. Apple said it's barred from disclosing if it had one (it has!).

Google tried to dodge the question, and refused to explicitly state if it had not received a UK backdoor demand.
