I just realized that since I turned 40 I can't win a #FieldsMedal! Ofc almost no one does but the fact that I can't is so freeing. It can just be nothing to do with me. There was no chance that I would ever do anything significant anyway, but the contest cult still loomed in my mind. #MathSky

Scrolling Pinterest and the algorithm throws stuff at me like it can't figure me out at all, and the Meredith Brooks sleeper agent lurking in me since 1997 activates: I can understand how you'd be so confused I don't envy you I'm a little bit of everything all rolled into one youtu.be/_ivt_N2Zcts

Kiddo's class is researching countries and he was assigned to 🇨🇦. They're meant to bring in a food from their assigned countries tomorrow, his being maple syrup. Too bad they didn't do this before the tariffs. 🫠 They'll have to settle for maple syrup that was purchased by a Canadian (me).

I just realized my preference for series over films and a few good friends over many acquaintances are two manifestations of the same tendency of my brain: to invest in long relationships and avoid short ones. #AuDHD #ActuallyAutistic #TheNeuroverse

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Today is a great day for those who have yet to do so to FIRST read Letter from Birmingham Jail, THEN read the entire I Have a Dream Speech. The order matters, as does the ENTIRE text/context of both.

"We might have lied to ourselves and allowed too many of our allies – those who insist that it is not “strategic” to talk about racism and misogyny too much ...to dominate public discourse with a watered-down narrative of reconciliation."

I wrote about how magic links (emailed one-time login links) frustrate me while explaining that they radically accept some fundamental truths. I argue that websites should layer passkeys on top of magic links to provide a seamless authentication experience for everyone. rmondello.com/2025/01/02/m...

Which is why Bluesky needs to yeet Jesse Singal out of here. And to yeet JKR on sight when she brings her hate brigade over here. It should be non-negotiable.
