This is the dream. I would like every social event I attend to last a little under an hour.

I’m still at the YouTube video/tutorial reading phase of this - I’m trying to figure out the best balance of privacy and security before giving something access to my calendar and email.

LMK if you have suggestions!

I have A LOT of concerns about AI, but the ways in which I am excited to try OpenClaw are too numerous to mention.

I love marking up dissertations on an iPad because it allows my students to participate in the millenniums old tradition of trying to read their committee's handwriting.

There are a couple of different keepsake things for collecting author signatures (book sleeves and kindle cases are popular examples). I'm very happy to also buy the book, but I like the idea of having a bunch of them on some thing I use a lot as a reminder of things I've enjoyed reading.

Thanks!

Question for authors: would it be impolite to ask you to sign something other than your book? (something still reading related though)

I’m sitting next to the only empty seat on this completely full flight, which sadly means I have no excuse not to work for the next 4 hours.

Can I do the dessert course? I have ideas for a Victoria sponge cake made with plum and cardamom jam.

At least the error messages are polite.

This never would have happened with a Jesuit education.

Writing an abstract in the notes app like a Gen-Z’er because Microsoft Word has somehow managed to become even more unusable on the iPad.

If you are a “cooking influencer” who wears rings while handling raw meat and uses metal utensils on non-stick cookware, I can take nothing you say seriously.

This whole thing is basically an advertisement for Jesuit education.

I really want a media studies person to explain to me why the media response to looksmaxxing is *so different* than it was to the early 00's pro-Ana tumbler movement.

The internet is a cesspool, but I will never get over how much I love watching people do wildly in-depth YouTube videos about their niche hobbies

I once had a similar problem, and it turns out natural peanut butter + flaky salt + honey is an elite combination.

Pope Leo not beating the “weak on crime” allegations by modeling himself after a dude who once told a thief he would see him in heaven.

Putting my social science training to work creating a database for my fabric/yarn stash. (No one mention this is time I could spend actually sewing)

One of my favorite things is leaving my apt in the morning to discover that people are outside celebrating a cultural holiday I’ve never heard of. It’s like if Christmas was also a surprise party.

There are so many cool things in the world, why wouldn’t I want my neighborhood to be full of them?

I have Pavlov’d myself into being unable to work without horror podcasts - excited to add this one to the queue!

The love that academic women have for these shoes suggests that it may be unwelcome, at the very least :-)

Rothy's shoes are the most uncomfortable things I have ever worn.

I wish retailers would realize that sometimes I just want to buy a product, not start a relationship with them.

Nothing is more fun than *completely* and unexpectedly running out of space on your hard drive the day before a presentation.

I want an Netflix series called The Mitre (similar to what they did with The Crown).

(I think its using insheet to load a 5.6 million observation csv - 24 times. But the loop is running now!

It's a good sign if Stata hangs whenever I try to load my data, right?

The one non-science elective I took in undergrad was a class on medieval papacy, and wow did I never think that would come in useful.

Picture of Swiss Guard in ceremonial uniforms, including halberds.

Okay, but in fairness this is who he was facing off against.
