How to break up with your career - WSJ (No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=63058&nl=daily]
Relationship scientists have spent decades documenting the process of
falling out of love: what the emotional roller coaster feels like, how
psychological biases keep us from understanding our breakup behaviors,
how we fail to prepare for our next relationship. But despite the
similarities between breaking up with a lover and breaking up with a
career, we rarely see the parallels.

That’s a mistake, because looking at these parallels offers insights
for anyone who might consider a career change. The science of
relationship breakups can teach us how to read the lingering signs of
attachment so we don’t stay in a career too long. It can help us
understand what we will most miss about a job in ways that will keep
us from panicking and returning to an old job. And it can help us be
smart about what comes next, so we don’t rebound into a new job that
has little staying power.

Europeans Used Cocaine Much Earlier Than Previously Thought, Study
Finds

“We have evidence of coca leaves being used thousands of years
ago,” said Christine VanPool, an anthropologist at the University of
Missouri. No one knows exactly how or when coca reached Europeans. But
Dr. VanPool believes that Spanish colonizers in South America may have
been attracted to cocaine’s analgesic properties.

The seventh season of Julia Child’s “The French Chef,” the first

change the experience of food. While Child had charmed audiences in
black and white, seeing “Bouillabaisse à la Marseillaise” in
color helped elevate the experience from merely entertaining to
mouthwatering.

The Friendship That Made Google Huge - The New Yorker (No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=63058&nl=daily]
One day in March of 2000, six of Google’s best engineers gathered in
a makeshift war room. The company was in the midst of an unprecedented
emergency. In October, its core systems, which crawled the Web to
build an “index” of it, had stopped working. Although users could
still type in queries at google.com, the results they received were
five months out of date. More was at stake than the engineers
realized. Google’s co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, were
negotiating a deal to power a search engine for Yahoo, and they’d
promised to deliver an index ten times bigger than the one they had at
the time—one capable of keeping up with the World Wide Web, which
had doubled in size the previous year. If they failed, google.com
would remain a time capsule, the Yahoo deal would likely collapse, and
the company would risk burning through its funding into oblivion.

It's ironic to me that many for-profit companies can't say that out

of making users happy. Or maybe they know it won't, but they're afraid
of people thinking it will.

Did Elon Musk Just Offer to Impregnate Taylor Swift? - The Cut (No
paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=63058&nl=daily]
On Tuesday night, following what many deemed a victorious debate,
Kamala Harris finally secured the Taylor Swift endorsement. Writing
under a photo of herself with a cat, Swift praised Harris as a
“steady-handed, gifted leader” before signing her announcement
“Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.” Most people recognized her
tongue-in-cheek nod to J.D. Vance’s derisive comments about women
who don’t reproduce. And then there is Elon Musk, a Trump fan and
fundraiser, who responded to her joke with the creepiest thought he
could drum up. “Fine Taylor,” Musk wrote on X late Tuesday night,
“you win…I will give you a child and guard your cats with my
life.”

Blood cell counts have unfairly kept Black and Middle Eastern people

One of the most important measurements for cancer patients is the
neutrophil count. Certain cancer therapies like chemotherapy can be
harsh on these white blood cells, so cancer patients need their
neutrophil count to be in a given range when undergoing those
treatments or before enrolling in particular clinical trials. That can
be a problem for people who have a natural blood variation called the
Duffy-null phenotype.

When Your New Boss Won't Stop Making Hasty Decisions - Harvard
Business Review (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=63058&nl=daily]
It’s normal to feel unsettled when you get a new boss, and it can be
especially disorienting if they come in and start making decisions
that don’t seem to make sense. What should you do if you’re in
this situation? Should you speak up or just take their new suggestions
in stride? Start by assuming good intentions and take an active role
in helping your boss understand the nuances of how the organization
operates. Ask tactful, open-ended questions to gain clarity on your
boss’s reasoning, and be diplomatic and constructive when expressing
reservations. Frame your feedback as a way to achieve shared goals. It
can also be helpful to talk with your colleagues about the benefits
and drawbacks of your boss’s decisions. It’s an opportunity to
gauge your team’s perspective and serve as “a gut check” to
determine if others share your concerns.

How Taylor Swift Surprised Harris, and Entered a New Political Era

In a political landscape with countless celebrity endorsements that do

encouraging Americans to vote racked up 35,000 new registrations on
Vote.gov. This time, Ms. Swift made her endorsement six days before
National Voter Registration Day on Sept. 17, and included a link to
Vote.gov to nudge her supporters to register.

And, in an unusual turn, Ms. Harris boasted that under the Biden
