  1. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    I think the gist of the matter is that a saint can live without politeness, and indeed that politeness is incompatible with a saintly character. But the man who is always to be sincere must be free from spite and envy and malice and pettiness. Most of us have a dose of these vices in our composition and therefore have to excerise tact to avoid giving offence. We cannot all be saints, and if saintliness is impossible, we may at least try not to be too disagreeable.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Essay (1933-02-01) “On Tact,” New York American

  5. Being honest and honest in critiquing others may seem like a good idea, but without tact, it will simply come across as rude, ignorant, and unnecessary. Don't put others in a defensive mode by being too blunt. Use some tact. #tact #blunt #honest #critique #opinion

  8. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    Though a man has all other perfections, and wants discretion, he will be of no great consequence in the world; but if he has this single talent in perfection, and but a common share of others, he may do what he pleases in his station of life.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-11-17), The Spectator, No. 225

    My friend Sir Roger heard them both upon a round trot; and after having paused some time, told them with an air of a man who would not give his judgment rashly, that “much might be said on both sides.”

  18. According to an excellent explanation from #TACT the wave of mystery pneumonias follows in time and space any wave of #pirola aka the #BA286 family.
    In particular the most infectious variant to date, #JN1 "with extreme immune evasion and suppression". In other words, this is the variant most likely to induce #immunodeficiency.
    Anything that can cause "secondary" pneumonia is on the list, particularly in children and the elderly whose immune systems are already weakened.
    ⚠️ At the end of the article, there is a warning that adults will be the next to be affected, in the coming weeks.

  25. A quotation from Holmes, Oliver Wendell, Sr.:

    «««««
    Don’t flatter yourselves that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. On the contrary, the nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.

  26. #Arcturus aka XBB.1.16 and its progeny XBB.1.31
    After reading the #TACT newsletter on #COVID, my attention was drawn to one of the mutations of #SARS-CoV-2, in #Orf9b. Both variants share it.

    Indeed, SARS-CoV-2 not only suppresses the immune system but in the most severe cases it over-activates it with the famous "cytokine storm". And the new mutation that shares these two variants is potentially on the "elastic" mechanism that triggers the cytokine storm.

  27. A quotation from Russell, Bertrand:

    «««««
    But although tact is a virtue, it is very closely allied to certain vices; the line between tact and hypocrisy is a very narrow one. I think the distinction comes in the motive: when it is kindliness that makes us wish to please, our tact is the right sort; when it is fear of offending, or desire to obtain some advantage by flattery...

  28. Don't "change tact." "Tact" is sensitivity in dealing with people or situations, related to "tactile." To "tack" is to change a boat's course, from fasteners used to secure sails. So when we change approach or direction, we "change tack."
