Looking at the actual poll, I don’t think it’s that bad. People haven’t lost faith in concepts, but have learned that the people in charge of everything are inept.

The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells is a series where the audio book is better than reading. The murderbot is a sentient robot who no longer has a compliance chip, so he fakes it so he can stay free. He hires himself out for security jobs. The murderbot is dark, witty and ambivalent about human life. The narrator sounds like a young Samuel L. Jackson. The series is not long, many of the stories are novellas, but it is just hilarious in parts. Definitely worth listening to if you don’t mind some cursing.
I’m not eating any God damn crickets.

WSJ: Gen-Z yearns for stability
Not long ago, a friend who teaches a communications course at a Midwestern business school asked me to speak to her class. Her instructions were invitingly wide: “Just tell them about your career.” And so I did, trying to hit all the points that might be relevant to students about to enter the job market.
Unmentioned in the article, and presumably the address to the class, is that Suzy is married to Jack Welch.
Vincent was a new engineer hired into our Paris office. To get some field experience, he was sent down to Madrid to work with me on the Vetrotex project.
A course meant to inspire more Black students to take AP classes
I don’t encourage boys to go into engineering either. For individual students with the interest and aptitude to become engineers, I did everything I could to help them become engineers. I have recommended colleges, suggested specific majors and made arrangements for them to talk to people I know working in their intended field. The same things I would do for any of my students.

Extrapolations is a bracing drama from writer, director and executive producer Scott Z. Burns that introduces a near future where the chaotic effects of climate change have become embedded into our everyday lives.
Extrapolations is Green Porn with a great cast.
I watched a few episodes because this TV series was eagerly anticipated by swampies. They felt that when people see how Climate Change impacts regular people, then…I don’t know, we will all join their church or something.
Hemmings reports that we will finally get a muffler man museum
Building the museum in downtown Atlanta will be a mistake, the land is too valuable. The museum should be situated on a giant mini-golf course where land is cheap and with plenty of through traffic. Outside of Atlanta, along I-85 perhaps.
As they plan, add some retro-diners and other large scale memorabilia.
They are like termites, borrowing in to everything and causing structural damage that isn’t obvious until the whole thing collapses. The Ohio State University College of Engineering is committed to DIE.
