I used to teach anatomy 20+ years ago. Sadly many of the skulls are sourced from the poorest people in impoverished countries. Companies pay a death benefit to the families or to the individual and then "harvest" the skull after death. They used to be priced based on the number of teeth and the presence of mandibular/maxillary degeneration. The highest priced skulls would come from donors and would have all their teeth.

Here's a link to the UCLA scandal if you want to get a feeling for how scummy the entire industry is

This is a really interesting visualization. I love the density of the data and the way it captures the year over year variability by month while allowing the annual variability to plainly stand out. This is really good.

Because sessional teaching for $4000 a course is a great way to make a living. I mean a 5 course load could move you close to the poverty line!

Because checkout isn't until 11. It takes time to prep a room between guests. Depending on occupancy and staffing levels you may be able to get in earlier.

Scratch that. Dolly Parton. Her net worth shows as much less because she keeps giving it away.

That's generational wealth. He probably doesn't have to do anything but plays at being a businessman or something. People doing mortgage calculations don't understand how the wealthy live.

From Robert Reich:

Billie Eilish can't run for president. She is under 35.Arnold Schwarzenegger can't run for president. He was born in Austria.Donald Trump can't run for president. He engaged in and supported an insurrection.It's in the Constitution, folks.

Eta: there was already a post on the Reich quote. https://lemmy.world/post/9894249

The oldest millenials are in their 40s. Who is drawing these things?

You have it backwards. Living in cities (and especially growing up there) move you to the left. You see people suffering and you know it's not entirely their fault. You get to know other cultures, eat at their restaurants, hear their music etc.
