My PhD cohort: Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, German, Austrian, Turkish, Russian, Norwegian. The thing about being the best university in the world is that people come from, indeed, all over the world and do amazing things together. This is a tragedy, but just one of so so so many every day.

My latest piece goes out either Monday or Tuesday next week, it's called "The Era of the Business Idiot." I believe our society is in the thrall of middle management, and it's turned our economy into a series of symbolic gestures between people that don't really know what's going on. Wheresyoured.at

Sure whatever. 25% tariff on eating ice cream on a hot day next. 50% tariff on petting a dog. 35% tariff on the sound of children laughing. 10% tariff on the smell of flowers. 15% tariff on the cold side of the pillow. And another 25% on China, why not.

So many hateable songs in this thread! I had this disease as a kid where I couldn’t stop myself from singing along with catchy songs on the radio even if I hated them. I’d be singing and begging my mom to change the station at the same time.

The touchstone of most authoritarian regimes is not the kind of total control that most people feel in their day-to-day lives. It is that the regime is only selectively bound by law, producing constant low-grade anxiety as to whether, how, or against whom power will be exercised.

I miss my best friend. Kona is a wonderful, loving, cheerful dog but it’s way too quiet with just one. My slippers stay where I put them; nobody reminds me when it’s two hours til dinner time. Aspen was my shadow.
