Today, I am besieged by my students who submitted 40 final exams for me to grade. We all would like to end the academic year as soon s possible, so I will spend the day finishing the grading and recording the grades my philosophy students have earned. But I do need to keep my promise of a story every day in May.

So no new article today. Instead, I will post links to articles that the low stats indicate they fell through the cracks of the algorithm. These four articles were shown to Medium users at an amount less than one-third of normal levels. We are all slaves of the algorithms now. You missed some great content, if I do say so myself, and I do. 😄

Nothing I write about music ever gets shown, No idea why. This one had one-tenth the normal views. Disappointing.

Come on, the sheep in human clothes is cute. Why not show this article?
