Yes, I know I have a generally smaller vocabulary than one might expect given the other observables, and many of you know that word. My point is we should spend some time reminding ourselves why it's considered a sin, and I think that might be good for the world
I think it says something about our culture that I had to look up the word avarice.
That's a word I think we need in our vocabularies right now.
Sometimes the authors have notably improved the paper, and that's gratifying. Otherwise it's like "yup, same thoughts, do what you like I guess."
I'd be interested in how this does on the papers bsky.app/profile/bren...
Building a society that both accepts learning but also has enough firmness that people don't spiral off every which way seems tough
Judgement, yo
We can't accept I don't know therefore no one does and it must not matter, any more than I don't know therefore no one does and it must not change (though, I hate to say it as someone who generally is into change, the later is safer)
Society only works went I trust that there are many things I don't know, and I trust that somebody does know.
Science, I think, has an uneasy place: a scientist has to have good judgement in distinguishing between I didn't know, but I trust as known, and I don't know, I will pursue new knowledge
Acronyms are pronounced as words.
-scuba
-laser
-NASA
Initialisms are pronounced as individual letters.
-NFL
-TSA
-TGIF
'Acronym' is frequently used for both kinds of abbreviations, so it's ok to call an initialism an acronym.
"How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities?" has been a standard question for new federal job applicants since Trump changed federal hiring policies.

Brookline and other municipalities could plan for steady new growth that offsets Prop 2.5 via zoning reform but choose not to do so.
One of the comments to this is like “of all the things to be mad about, not being able to get a credit card is low down the list” and y’all being able to leave shitty men is so important and cannot be done without money.
I'm not sure about the change in GALA, because I t took the lyrics to mean people tell me that pretty girls walk like this and pretty girls talk like this, but I'm going to do my thing, and that... doesn't work to change it to pretty boys or hansom boys or whatever.
But idk, maybe I'm mis reading

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.
Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

howdy, think tank expert here! this isn't funny, think tanks only do this when they're in extreme distress
This is not lets-propose-this-and-see-what-Congress-says. Their plan is more like USAID: eliminate before Congress can weigh in.
