BREAKING: economist discovers “second shift,” a concept coined by sociologists almost 50 years ago; gives it new, stupider, and less explicitly labor-oriented name

היו המון מים חמים בימים האחרונים, מה שהפך את המקלחות לממש ארוכות ומהנות. מסתבר שהבוילר היה דלוק שבוע.

אני איתי, ואני אוהב וופלים לימון

I love how they just put up a huge ladder and everyone around was just 'ah, such is life, oui?'

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

I'm not one to brag much, but apparently, according to PhilPeople, someone for University College Dublin viewed one of my papers. That's right. I'm sooo getting a job* now thanks to this. * Not in academia, not in philosophy.

In Warsaw, went to the royal palace, got some ideas for department design

Just had Oreos for dinner. I will not be taking any questions at this time.

People are still organizing international conferences in the US. Have you lost your mind?

אני לא מבין למה אין שקיות גדולות יותר של במבה אדומה

Urs is on FIRE! 🇩🇪🐻

I'd like to thank the student who wrote in their teaching evals that I was the worst Prof they had in their entire undergrad studies. It really increased my productivity today, and I have definitely not been scrolling through YouTube for the last 3 hours avoiding anything life-related.

Original footage of my 9mo left at daycare for the first time ever: youtu.be/3ZWoWB1JTnA?...

I just fixed the syntax of an .xml file code. I am now a tech bro.

So close, just change 'agency' to 'injustice' and we'll have reached complete assimilation! link.springer.com/collections/...

I know this is off topic, but 5.7yrs median time for PhD??? If this is at all similar to the numbers in Oh Canada, then I really dragged that number up.

New Smurfs movie is so wildly antisemitic it's hilarious - the evil wizard brothers look like caricature Jews, as they try to take over the world by taking orders from an intergalactic cabal of lizard looking wizards?! Like, wtf 🤣 Such lazy writing.

Hot take: rhcp's 'one hot minute' is a banger of an album.

Laptop reviews' takes on keyboards are nonsense: "The keyboard is a little shallow, but the keys feel great, with a satisfying click that's crisp and responsive." Like, what?

I just love being on hold for an airline representative. It's these 40+ minutes of mind numbingly repetitive nothing muzak on my phone that I live for.

שני דברים ממש מגניבים לגבי זה: 1.הניכוי הוזן למערכת השכר מראש, עוד לפני החלטת בית הדין לעבודה בנושא. כל הכבוד על נקיטת היוזמה. 2. האוניברסיטאות המציאו סיפור לפיו הממונה על השכר באוצר דרש את הניכוי, אך הוא רק אישר את הבקשה חש האוניברסיטאות. כל הכבוד על היצירתיות.

תודה רבה לאוניברסיטה העברית בירושלים על שניכתה לכל הסגל הזוטר שלה 30 אחוז מהשכר באופן לא חוקי על שביתה חוקית בעליל. @hebrewuheb.bsky.social @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social אור לגויים.

The pain is real

Hot take: Queen's 'A Night at the Opera' is a bad album with great songs.

I cannot explain the joy of dancing around the living room with 7mo to the sounds of the Ramones.

Honestly, I did not think my work could be so relevant. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

1/5Happy to share this from @psjeditor.bsky.social, w Shir Gal (TAU). We study the conditions under which business corporations expand their institutional power. We find that *how* the state purchases (its acquisition regime) shapes corporations' instit' power onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

First deadlifting in 21 months, so pretty satisfied with 200lbs for 3 sets of 8 reps.

Damn right

More than two hours since I submitted this paper, and no acceptance yet??? Peer review is broken AF!!!

One fun thing about post-gym soreness at 40+ is the uncertainty about what is actually sore: I mean, is it muscle? Or tendon? Or ligament? Maybe cartilage? Who knows!

Limbs day is a mind fuck

Trying a torso-limbs split in the gym this week. Because I'm psycho.

Congratulations to the Seattle Supersonics

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

yes i am sure

Have you ever sipped gin and juice? What's it like? Is it, like, good?

6mo has been responding very well to Nirvana's 'Nevermind' accompanied by my air drumming (hasn't seen the album cover - might not like it given recent disappointment with wading pool).

After rigorous research and observation, I have concluded that getting ready to go to the pool with a child and a baby takes twice as long as whatever extra time you had originally thought.

Overheard a conversation about designing UX for an ai based mental health/therapy/coaching app, and I'm happy to say we don't need to worry about climate change because this bot will probably make us all kill ourselves real soon anyway.

Also, I really don't think that an industry relying on ip rights is likely to benefit from undermining (checks notes) ip rights.

It's so great that the thing that the ai industry is so scared of rn is rock n roll. This guitar kills tech-bros.

Pro parenting tip: Don't let anyone fool you: bottles with two-day-old formula do not smell nice.

סטארט-אפ: מכונות אוטומטיות למכירת טי-שירט או גופיה ברציפי רכבת. כסף על הרצפה.

My plans for a major retail emporium are being threatend by wholesalers who won't let me steal the stock.

Do the people on selection committees where I applied for jobs know about this?

Banger

I still can't get over Nick losing to Derek at the Pittsburgh pro. WTF.
