Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

PSA: if anyone in your life is trying to dissuade you from getting the shingles shot, you should probably assume that person hates you, and wants you to suffer. There is literally no other explanation.

Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.

A thing about modern life I don't care for is every service provider hectoring you to give them an online review afterward. Constant texts trying to get me to give gold stars to the plumber, the furniture delivery guy, the pediatric urgent care, etc.

THAT'S WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR

Oh, I love the idea of community.

I even love chaos, if chaos is expected.

And I love a good tricycle ride. My beautiful tricycle, Calliope, below.

It is HEAT - heat - that I do not love. 🥵🔥☀️

It sounds like my definition of hell on Earth. 105 degree heat index, fighting winds up to 29 MPH the whole way, and corn sweat.

WHY?

Like, seriously, if I were going to do it I'd want to do it in cooler weather and without the corn.

Proud to say every member of my family understood this post (sadly none have a vehicle other than, you know, the bike…)

I have been to SF at least a dozen times and never knew this existed. I am devastated to have missed out on so many dahlias!

The SNORTS! 😍

I found the cinematography to be simply gorgeous. And the acting understated and poignant. I loved it.

One thing I am noticing is that the more bunny photos I favorite on Bluesky, the more bunny photos I see. This algorithm GETS me. 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰

Watch Touch | Prime Video A romantic and thrilling story that spans several decades and continents, Touch follows one man's emotional journey to find his first love who disappeared 50 years ago… before his time runs out.

Cool! We just watched an exquisitely beautiful movie called "Touch", on @amazonprime.bsky.social , that has tie-ins to Japan, disasters - and lots and lots of food! I highly recommend it.

Here is a thread of 100% true and accurate facts about pigs that are totally true and accurate and they came from a book so you don't need to google them. 🧵

1. Like all pigs, Button speaks fluent Swedish but chooses not to show it off.

I do!

Do you need a minute of Fergus snores?

I built this basement "Glampground" over the winter - and now we're selling our home! If your ideal #Durham real estate includes a tent, give Dusty Butler at Fonville Morisey a ring and he'll give you a tour. S'mores optional but highly recommended. 🏕️

That is just like a poem ❤️

While agreeing with those who say evacuate, don't post, here's an article that might help those with a bit more time:

Anyway if you'd like a lightweight primer on all things quantum, you can check out the series of short intro videos I made with the Perimeter Institute, Quantum 101: perimeterinstitute.ca/quantum-101-... Just because quantum mechanics isn't spooky doesn't mean it's not really, really cool.

This is why, if I can’t give an actual physical gift, I give cash instead. It is unkind to force the person to spend it in only one place (I have at least 10 gift cards in a drawer that I can never use)

Great interview!

I actually think the greatest gift you could give them is insight into how to communicate technical concepts effectively. You are uniquely skilled at this and they could learn a lot from you. It’s a skill often overlooked by early career professionals.

Quantum bluesky is for quantum information.

Quantum LinkedIn is for quantum misinformation.

I experienced an earthquake in Central North Carolina! It was very odd. 2013 maybe?
