- Drop what you’re doing. Go to today’s New York Times Opinion section. Sit down in a quiet corner. Start reading: “I Teach at a Business School: It’s Time to Shut Them Down,”by Chris Marquis, Univ. of Cambridge, former HBS professor. BRILLIANT. IRREFUTABLE. LOOOONG OVERDUE. 18 Oct 2026

- It’s clear. I got it from my mom. No messing about. There’s no such thing as saying “thank you” too many times. No bigger sin than NOT saying “thank you.” Try it. Just a “little” TY for something “tiny.” (In fact, the tiny ones are more powerful than the big ones❗️) 13 Oct 2026

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
