Since then it has did my dishes, gave kids bath, folded laundry (correctly), watered the plants (forgot I owned), found missing LEGO brick, unclogged sink with 1 Linux command, apologized to spouse, finished half-written email drafts from 2019, aligned my chakras

Sad to hear about the recent passing of Eduardo Mendieta, a brilliant philosopher who did so much work to explore and promote critical philosophy and Latin American thought. He was a very generous reader on my MA thesis committee. We need more scholars like him.
