Yes, millions of people will suffer but at least it's for a good cause: because one old asshole wanted to avoid going to jail for crimes he committed

Another day, another "guess I'll doomscroll the news while waiting on some enterprise boondoggle app's web ui to load." In an app whose sole purpose is to host and search files, why does "tell me if this file exists" a ponder-over-coffee-break question? UGH.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Being a parent sometimes means having to do research on how feasible plutonium projectiles would be for a railgun to answer a kid's question. (Not very, by themselves, I gather. I must admit I've never thought about how good a conductor Pu is. #yikes)

When I was little, my mom had a nightmare about me queueing to board a plane as a paratrooper. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going to buy the farm as a pathfinder re-liberating whatever is left of the grand american experiment after drumpführer and the magats are done with it.

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

My milk frother also heats as it froths, and I've discovered that if I add in powdered chocolate, I can make a delightfully frothed hot chocolate in under a minute. This is dangerous knowledge for a man of my considerable appetites and wild, hedonistic disposition

One of the best things I ever did for myself was stop comparing my life trajectory to people who have support systems. I won’t say I never had help, but I’m just now truly understanding the difference between “assistance” and “support”.

I pinched a nerve in my shoulder about a week ago and man, what a bad time of year to suddenly not be able to help with much around the house. (At least, with anything requiring both hands.) Kirsti is, as ever, a rockstar. Getting old sucks but it beats the alternative.
