  • I find one line particularly powerful, and it’s been used in a couple famous songs.


    Jenny Lou Carson (1944), made popular by Willie Nelson (1966)

    I’d trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday For what good is life without the one you love I’d trade all of my tomorrows, they’re worthless anyway If my arms can’t hold the one I am dreaming of

    Just an empty world is all I have before me I’d give anything if you were with me now I’d trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday I don’t want to live without you anyhow


    Kris Kristofferson Me and Bobby McGee (1969)

    And I’d trade all of my tomorrows For one single yesterday Holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mine Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose Nothin’ left is all that Bobby left me.







  • This page is a nice way to see headlines for various topics.

    https://brutalist.report/?limit=15

    You can make an account and choose the sources you want and how many titles to show. That link will show 15 titles from each source. The titles refresh often, so it stays fresh.

    Edit: Actually, I just compared the page before and after I logged in and I’m not sure if you can customize the sources. I’m not sure what the account actually does. If you want to specify your sources, I like using this online RSS reader: https://theoldreader.com/

    I’ve been using since Google got rid of their reader. This one is sort of a copy. The site holds the RSS feeds that you enter, and there is an Android app that will let you sign in an view from mobile. I think the app is called gReader.



  • In the US, a University is usually a collection of colleges. Each college has a somewhat independent structure from other colleges within the University, and each is led by its own Dean. Each college has different requirements of entry and provide rules for what it takes to get a degree from that college. But ultimately, you get a degree from something like “The University of Whatever, College of Engineering”. All the colleges have some certain amount of oversight and guidelines set up by the overall institution.
