Among many activities today, I watched Home Alone. It is a deceptively great movie. Funny and campy, yes. Also, thoughtful and well constructed.
The Jobs You’re Most Likely to Inherit From Your Mother and Father - The New York Times
Children often pursue their parents’ jobs because of the breakfast-table effect: Family conversations influence them. They fuel interests or teach children what less commonly understood careers entail (probably one reason textile spinning and shoemaking are high on the list of jobs disproportionately passed on to children). In interviews, people who followed their parents’ career paths described it as speaking the same language.
Certain aptitudes may be inherited. Families also have their own cultures, reflected in how they value spending time — whether making things by hand, achieving academically or filling the home with art and music. People described flirtations with other careers as teenage rebellions before settling into a parent’s occupation.

A Woman Froze to Death on an Alpine Trek. Is Her Boyfriend to Blame? - The New York Times
The case has brought to the fore a legal doctrine known as Garantenstellung, a broad concept in Germanic law that establishes a responsibility to intervene for people who have a “duty of care” in a range of situations, including parents caring for children or a driver who hits a pedestrian — and can put liability on those people.
It is often invoked on trips with hired guides, but has rarely been applied to a private hike like the couple’s excursion, experts said.

The Role of Doctors Is Changing Forever | The New Yorker
The medical profession of the twentieth century was a hegemon; today, it is a regional power. When a hegemon loses status, it can take a few paths. It can aim for restoration—bringing back the empire—which in this case would probably focus on gatekeeping. It can retreat, which might mean abdicating medicine’s broad public role, perhaps in favor of a narrow focus on earnings and technical skills. The last—and, in my view, the best—path is reinvention. Doctors can remake their profession by embracing the multi-polar medical landscape they now inhabit, and by acting as a kind of system stabilizer: working with other powers to help shape rules, norms, and relationships. A superpower may act as though it can stand alone, but middle powers know the value of diplomacy and coalition-building.
Another vague short story where there is not enough context to figure out the result. It was okay. This story would have far more impact if you knew what the characters decided to do.
Many “experts” say that the unspoken procedure is an abortion. But is it really that? I feel like this conversation could’ve been about a root canal and we wouldn’t know the difference.
I like short stories. I really do. But vague short stories feel like a waste of time. Yes, it is a work of art. But deeply unsatisfying.
How do I stop showing reminders in calend… - Apple Community - A mystery has been solved.
I have to admit this story took a long time to read. I can’t grasp the underlying meaning of the story. I can’t clearly see the overall narrative arc. I think it’s more an exploratory piece about physical injury, recovery from injury and disillusionment with the promises of modern medicine. It also explores, to a lesser extent, the emotional injury of war and death.
