Can't wait for this city not to be 10 degrees everyday.

Who's gonna man up and create a third party short-form video content platform with decentralized user data storage and general recognition of user privacy in the United States. People are using the Chinese apps because the technocrats in this country own the alternatives.

If Philly continues to build new housing, how long will it take for people to start choosing to live here over the seemingly more popular sunbelt cities?

Y'all know about Redactle?

Need to read more in next year. And study more. And go outside more. And socialize more. And other good things more. And less bad things more.

It's growing on me...

Mill and Schopenhauer were right when they said that human intelligence heightens the human sense of insecurity.

What does it mean if someone unexpectedly doesn't attend your funeral? What if someone unexpectedly does?

Turkey Hill Iced Tea 😍😍😍

Too busy for dating. Mentally removed from what I'm doing for past semester because I could be dating.

STUDY STUDY STUDY

I do not like the Delimex Cocina Chicken Poblano Queso Burrito Bowl. Overall: 5/10 Commentary: Had to heat for longer than instructed to fully heat food. Bland flavors and disturbing textures. Benefits from peppers in flavor and color.

There are many great tests for recognizing the character of those in your life. Their beliefs are exposed in conversations about suicide, family dispute, the financially desperate, those in unfortunate situations. These are all examples of those our subconscious biases tell us are below us.

Radiolarians are neat little critters.

Top 0.001% of Vampire Weekend listeners 4th year in a row. Built different, I guess.

What do you call the shape of a glasses lens. Rectangloid? Rectangical? Elliptangle? This is probably Googleable, but I don't wanna.

Youtube playables is dumb. So is the idea that public transit should pay for itself.

Some billionaire should give a transit agency, say SEPTA, like a billion extra dollars just to see what happens. Might be kinda cool.

Georgism is pretty cool, but I wonder if there are mechanisms that could be added to the base tax structure to further incentivize density in urban settings and and nature in open areas.

BRB, about to go create more AI bot accounts to harass Hank Green

This is a potentially controversial opinion but the current SEPTA budget crisis is likely the most important issue in the entire state. It poses a far more potent threat to the economy than anything else. It is an absolute travesty that state senate Republicans can't find a solution to pass through.

I love Jalen Hurts

Abandoned a flower in someone's office window a while back. I wonder if it'd still alive.

Pickles and olives are great on their own merits but terrible together.

Finished a book I started in September today.

I like saying scleractinian. It's fun.

Born to post on goodreads and have all my followers wonder about how cool I am. Forced to live out this reality on LinkedIn because no one uses goodreads.

Cats shouldn't be outside, spayed/neutered or otherwise.

I come on here to read people's thoughts and post my own. Then I'm like, "other people's thoughts suck." Not mine though.

More cities should implement congestion pricing in their downtown cores. This comes with the caveat that they have useful public transit and walkability scores.

Dryers should be called drying machines.

We could use the Threads pinch tool on here too. I like that one.

Can we get the community notes tool on here? I think it's cool.

I'm ready for spotify wrapped. They can do it now.
