Ignorance vs Stupidity
I never think too badly of ignorance. We are all ignorant on many things. We simply do not know everything about everything.
Stupidity on the other hand is more bothersome - but that's not to say we are not all stupid on many things. Stupidity is willful ignorance. It is difficult to excuse.

ATL Saturdays
Another love-fest for weekends in the ATL.
Gorgeous summer weather, of course, means brunch outdoors (fried chicken eggs benedict anyone?), walking the beltline from Inman to Piedmont Park, the Dogwood festival (they have a dog show. Hi.), and of course all the internationals there to see the International Stage performances, cheering on the Bollywood dances, a walk back down the beltline and an evening with friends of early tapas dinner followed by the stunning Atlanta ballet performance of Hamlet.
Giuseppe had his own version of morning tennis, afternoon poolside, evening ballet.
Hamlet was stunning indeed, it's a highly engaging modern ballet, set to some beautiful mid/late-20th century music by Philip Glass. Tara Lee danced Ophelia and every movement told a story, all were good but in my mind she stole the show.
Hamlet himself looked like Benigni, which did not always work to his favour.

Yale said what?!
Well, apparently Yale said Gain Weight or Bye Bye.
This is the story of Frances Chan, whose BMI is probably rather close to my own, assuming from her height and weight.
But Yale was all "Nuh-uuuuh if you are that skinny you MUST have an eating disorder and this isn't about loving your body however it is, it's about changing your body completely because I'm Yale and I'm all smart and stuff".

She was subsequently put through a gruelling routine of weigh-ins, blood and urine tests, heart check-ups and mental health counselling. All the results indicated that she was healthy, as she has always been, and Miss Chan's doctor from her home in New Jersey also told the college that her whole family were small but in good shape – to no avail. ... "If this carried on, I was going to develop a real eating disorder," she said. "I resented eating at all."

If you visit the Museum of Forbidden Technologies you are clearly interested in forbidden technologies and will be promptly arrested.
