I haven’t spent enough time here, but this week Stripe Press launched our newest book, Maintenance: of Everything, Part One, by the inimitable Stewart Brand: press.stripe.com/maintenance-... About the unglamorous yet civilizationally important work of maintenance and repair.

Going through my clothes before a trip to Dubai, trying to categorize as: - riskily femme - acceptably faggy - safe and straight

In absence of an external thing to strive for, yin and yang decouple and seek only their own completion, but produce only destruction in this vain attempt

My office has a pipe that sometimes just belches steam, and I think this should be a thing in every office

Very good rain today

I think the Homer Simpson “I sleep in a bed with my wife” is a core piece of conservative commentary

If someone wants to be my counterparty, I’ll bet $500 this isn’t true

Had nice new perfume coming that I wanted to try on this minivacation but I accidentally shipped it to my old apartment

My most reactionary opinion is that I think maybe self actualization was a mistake

How We Got the Lithium-Ion Battery

I generally wish the guidelines you could be banned for were more minimal. Eg: only for illegal things that you’re legally forced to ban.

ITS REAL THANKSGIVING CAN I GET A HELL YA BROTHER

I think Scott's "Much More Than You Wanted To Know" posts a lot when I think about what Elicit should be. Key things that seem hard: - digging really deep into a small set of specific seminal papers - careful thinking about the methodologies, biases - weighing various effect sizes against each-other

Gonna start collecting bottles of starch spray like cases of fine wine

There are some emotional states that are basically inaccessible to me absent the right music at sufficient volume
