Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.

New Year’s party is going to go hard. I got my mom to send me the brandy slush recipe. Iykyk, Wisconsin things.

Several major political scandals exploding two days before Christmas feels bizarre but appropriate for this mind-melting era.

Finally watching Heated Rivalry and all I gotta say is, “on a continent where two hockey players can both trash talk and also be lovers makes me Amber Atkins proud to be a North American”.

“congestion pricing is working as planned, a reality that may turn New York’s experiment into a blueprint for other US urban centers.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Remember it is oftentimes not the crime but the coverup that brings people down.

I feel like "academic hiring" discourse is always kind of downstream of the fact that in the 50s we started building a giant public system to make a college education almost universally available and in the 80s and 90s we started taking it apart to go back to the only-the-rich model

you don't need to watch the trump speech unless it is literally your job to watch the trump speech. it is not good for you to watch the trump speech.

Very weird feeling waiting for the president to announce an illegal war based on total bullshit that they made up right in front of our faces on TV, almost like I've lived through this moment before

Not going to say how I feel about the current occupant but this is truly unhinged behavior in a long line of unhinged, harmful, and hateful behavior.

You know what, the shaggy hair is growing on me. Do I keep it?

Sorry haters, but the pencil towers looked cool as hell in the snow:
