Feeling the combo of: “I’m way too tired to bake anything” but also “I want something sweet”? This is the perfect 3 ingredient, 2 min recipe (4 ingredients if you add Bailey’s on top) cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1026...

THIS article shook me (digitaleditionapp.ft.com/i9DX?pid=af_...). It gets to the core of the anxiety I’ve been feeling. Loads of great & brave journalism these past couple weeks giving me hope that one day we’ll get sane @wired.com , @theguardian.com and @financialtimes.com.

Man I feel like an underrated part of why I’m so anxious is the fact that I have to track like 4-5 mediums of communication all the time. Getting mail once a day and then your phone ringing if somebody needs something? Seems incredible

Brief break from hawking The Onion to tell everyone I just subscribed to Wired. Please support publications who do brave work right now. www.wired.com/v2/offers/wi...

MORNING BOSTON! Sunrise still from Bunkerhill!

Nobody ever: “I’d love a bank office where I can’t do any actual banking, but I -can- buy a cup of coffee and just sit there staring out the window for a while.” Some Capital One VP, probably: “I have an idea…”

First AWS re:Invent in 7+ years, and first Vegas trip in 4 yrs. Excited to see all the humans, but also already feeling Vegas fatigue.

First post…so much pressure! How about a pic of our cat protecting herself from the robot takeover?
