How many institutions operate at this level of maturity? How many pay lip service to a politically correct "mission" (education, patient care, research) when they really pursue (and reward) something quite different (grant productivity and market share)? Small wonder, indeed, that many sense the futility of gathering data to support decisions that the institution has no will to undertake. Why put band-aids on cancer? Because it looks like you're trying, and hides the ugliness of disease.

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.
-- Roald Dahl (The Twits) -
If there is character, ugliness becomes beauty; if there is none, beauty becomes ugliness.

Ah, the riveting saga of 'FreeDroidWarn' on GitHub—another thrilling installment in the endless parade of half-baked code repositories, complete with a UI uglier than a 90s website. 🎨🚧 But don't worry, #GitHub Copilot is here to write "better" code with #AI, because, apparently, we're all just glorified button clickers now. 🤖💡

I know that as a Serious Person I should be commenting on Trump's irrational and destructive tariff policy announcements, but I am currently stunned by the photo at the head of this piece.

#Adult #MAGA #rage is making #schools more #dangerous for #students.
Despite the #EthanCrumbley and #NexBenedict #cases, a #GOP #nominee to run #schools wants a "#Firingsquad" for #liberals. It was inevitable that some of that #ugliness would trickle down from #adults to #kids.

Ah, child and youth, if you knew the bliss which resides in the taste of knowledge, and the evil and ugliness that lies in ignorance, how well you are advised to not complain of the pain and labor of learning.

Found this while browsing in a second-hand bookshop. No way to resist that title. It sacrifices some depth for brevity, but as a scholarly (and mostly western) overview it's an interesting account

„In the 1930s, make-up legend Max Factor came up with an ingenious invention combining #phrenology, #cosmetics, and a pseudo-scientific approach to analyze a woman’s facial flaws.This is the #Beauty Micrometer, a Clockwork Orange-style device that claimed to measure facial #ugliness.“

What a horrible contraption and mindset, right?
So happy that we have surveillance-capitalist vc-funded crap-app algorithms for that today. 😌

. @aral You have to be non-techie, non-political, non-activist, not know google history of #ugliness, not read/seen how these #monopolistic #dataGatherers are harming commoners. Of course there are plenty of exceptions but I would say that's the core base and then there are those who have resigned in their fight (to protect their data) or accepted it as #fate...!
