got all of five hours of interrupted sleep last night because someone kept sinking into the beanbag, at which point he screamed and screamed for rescue and, on being soothed and extracted, returned once more to the faithless sack

I’m grumpy, so will say this: telling the world that “socioeconomic value” can increase “super-exponentially” is not the intellectual flex you may think it is.

I was just trying to answer the question, "What is your favourite photo of a novelist with a cat?" I have probably forgotten some absolute crackers but right now the one that immediately comes to mind is this one of the genius Georges Perec and Duchat, taken by Anne de Brunhoff in 1978.

Apart from the cravenness and cruelty of the thing, I am just amazed at how few leaders understand basic facts about human biology.

KCRA: California has officially started using "biological girl" and "biological boy" to refer to cis and trans girls,in order to create a separate competition just for cis girls. They're scared of Trump, even though Maine legally beat his threats easily. www.kcra.com/article/cali...

My dad once got up in the middle of the night because he was parched, found a clear jug of dark liquid in the fridge he was sure was grape juice, and guzzled half a glass of soy sauce.

there was a point in my life when i was younger and snootier and thought "i'm too sophisticated for hot dogs" but these days, on the rare occasion that i have one (basically, today), my thought is always "damn a good hotdog is good as hell"

One big reason I love this thread is that it illuminates just how contextual our talk about function and dysfunction is, and how hard it can be to jolt ourselves out of our own grooves so we can see the context.

I just had a fascinating conversation with a stem-cell biologist about organoids. SCB: These cells are trying as hard as they can to make the organ. Me: I’m interested that you put it so agentially. So they are trying and failing? SCB: Yes, clearly. /1

I have not paid a ton of attention to the uproar over RTO policies, bc we are all in on distributed teams and not going back. My impression (via social media) has been that these were shadow layoffs. Last month I asked an investor why they are doing RTO. He said: "Retention, mostly. And morale."

I was in academia for a while and was surprised at how many professors are blissfully ignorant of the fact that they don’t know how to hold a basic conversation with someone outside their extremely small social network.

I’ve lived in Colorado for almost thirty years and I’m STILL a Knicks Sicko, and am loving Tom Thibodeau even though he used to coach The Hated Bulls.

After some thought, I’ve decided I feel very good about being older. Some people think you can see around corners, when it’s just that you know the neighborhood.

When people here say “back in the day” I remember that I am very much older than them and am not sure how to feel about it

When Gwyneth Rowlands left Netherne hospital after thirty years, she wrote a document called Foxhunting, which she described as “my commentary on my life & stones.” It combines an extraordinary account of her life before Netherne with poetry & literature richly illustrated by paintings & photographs

Honestly I learned the most (and became a much better dev) when I reinvented the wheel. Built a (simple) ORM instead of just using NHibernate (was a mistake.) Implemented own sorting algo thinking it would do better than built in (it did not.) Built own charting library. Etc All were worth it!!
