Monday links

Some interesting stuff to start your week off:

1. A powerful photo series: This doctor just endured the deadliest week of his career
2. This puts words to a gut feeling I had for a long time about bootcamp grads (not what you think)
3. A masochist recreates a calendaring service for fun
4. Meet the Mozarts
5. A theory about the proliferation of inexpensive subscriptions: Five Buck Fatigue
6. Musing about personal vs. work relationships
7. Exploring conformity: The Four Quadrants of Conformism
8. In case it’s not obvious: Russia is not a democracy. “Were the mercenaries operating in Belarus with Kremlin approval?”
9. An excellent write-up on The roots of wokeness. I’ve become convinced the average person has no clue about the underpinnings of this movement. It’s terrifying.

Finally:

When you’re so patriotic that you won’t make even minor sacrifices for your country. https://t.co/Rw5S8xS6Oq

Global trade gave us a shared circulatory system.

Porous borders gave us a shared immune system.

Social media gives us a shared nervous system.

“And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”
