Core competencies are something I think about a lot. I love to dig into what makes companies or ecosystems or social groups tick. Especially when that core competency *enables* what they do:
McDonald's, for example, is a real estate company that happens to make burgers.
Walmart is a shipping logistics company that also sells things.
What other examples can you think of where the core competency of the company is such that the "thing" a company does falls out naturally as a consequence?
Sometimes there is good news.
Texas is a deeply racist state, and the way it operates its judicial system is some of the best evidence. But an appeals court there overturned the conviction of a woman who only wanted to vote, and was told she could vote by officials, though it turned out she was ineligible.

Today's platelet donation viewing:
Damsel: A solid dragon movie, with the gravitasty Shohreh Aghdashloo as the voice of the dragon. Millie Bobby Brown is imperiled and plucky.
3 Body Problem S1E1: Well-done, but extremely grim. Also, why did they need 16 executive producers?
Note that each has one moment of mass bird death.
@mrcompletely ... but they almost always have you slash or peel back the film so steam can escape.

A colleague asked me about labeling points in a scatter plot in #Python. A quick web search found this handy module:
