Cartoony image of the entente cordiale stolen from wikipedia. Two women dancing emphatically. One wearing dress made of uk flag and a metal helmet. The other wearing dress made of france flag and a metal helmet. Guess the helmets are the cordiality? Or the dancing?

Trolley problem diagram with dilemma itself blurred. Caption reads: Oh no! A trolley is heading towards 5 people. You can pull the lever to divert it to the other track, killing 1 person instead. At least, that’s what you think is happening. You forgot your glasses and can’t see that well. What do you do?

75 years ago #onthisday the first volume of Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex was published. Within a week, it sold over 20,000 copies. Within months, Beauvoir expressed astonishment that it attracted the attention—and attacks—that it did.
