was in a hotel room party where (years pre we knew he’s bad) Ron Jeremy was getting a blowjob in bathroom. Blind item: c list celeb known for horror franchise asked me where I went to school (me 22 at a party she’s decade older), i respond Yale, she finger painted giant Y on my chest down to waist

Beyond the skepticism of this initial change doing anything—Has anyone done good /in depth reporting on the actual *constant* pressure high wealth individuals get to move to places like Florida just to save a few more bucks-who it’s influenced, who it hasn’t, etc.

Being in the south reminder no good gender neutral honorific, but tickled than in first 12 hours Katie and I have collectively been referred to as ladies, lovies, and at 6am a barista said i look like the munchkin in wicked. nurse, at the counter added: munchkin but you get that Ariana grande pussy

Family obligations done so we are in Charleston for a few days, which requires a bit of a Christmas costume change as it was 75 when we landed

Not quite home but returned to the delta 2 years ago this time of year w Katie: delta tamales (doe’s place), pulled pork nachos at hey Joe’s (served on potato chips), boss hog pizza from Lost Pizza, corn nuggets (fried creamed corn), whole fried cat fish (way better than filets), kool aid pickles

The most generous read I can give Weingarten in this AI debacle is learning wrong lesson from common core:union spent all effort trying to tank CC, refused to negotiate, then cried foul when CC passed w no union input But AI is worth sabotaging, no collaboration will save it from gutting education

Indeed! Bummed I have not made it in these Sundays and seeing if I can sneak over tonight (in my defense the Sunday I tried was slammed, as it should be!) Backbar/ames st were common destinations in my post divorce pre Katie days, some stories Sam could tell about my youth…

people lumping this in w like “mediocre white person writes op ed after Harvard rejection” but those folks chose to make themselves national press figures. This woman did not, and attempting a platform to correct the record (even if it misunderstands Media Today) is completely different sec stop

Again, I simply wish we lived in a world in which rightwing influencers, but more importantly tech ceos who have created rightward algorithms, received 1/10000000 of the tough questions, pressure, and unwarranted inferences the media directs at you, a la ms. rachel, if they think you 'support hamas'

We had a sort of inverse of this in Mississippi, where buses ran two laps to account for lack of numbers, so kids started showing to to school around 5:30 am which was great for all involved. 5a bus duty is also when I learned to distinguish the two different types of mosquitoes biting me.

From the Larchives. Also, not a pin up :)

@marchurboston.bsky.social from reddit--dang. i def have some thoughts on the lack of love since they opend the pizza spot, but the waffles were still bang on.

1. This is the compound my partner Katie has been designing/overseeing phase iii trials for and I’m so proud of her work 2. As discourse machine whirs up I hope folks look past WL # go up and see that the pain reduction results here are basically unheard of, just huge (not intended dunk of below)

This Gen Z infiltration of checkout prompts has gone too far

Great little list complete with a rec from Cambridge favorite curio spice co!

was workshopping a joke about Icarus but just couldn't stick the landing

This has become my go to line for working through conditional reasoning with folks (so if she’s wearing pink do we know it’s Wednesday? If it’s not Wednesday do we know what color they wear?), and I am sad for the day it will no longer culturally scan

A prime example of conflating “not costing money” with being “free” 😘

Dang fish fact more accurate than I expected. Fish seems more clown than bat, but I guess clownfish already taken. Gotta sad face tho. Maybe Pagliacci fish

I def get equity concern if some folks have access to say extra time on a test while others don’t, but I would like to see someone give a full throated defense of (besides administrability),if you can perform as well as someone else on any test with more time, why shouldn’t we give you that time?

good piece. I'd broaden critique that boys' overall socialization often counter to learning (tolerating to encouraging rambunctious misbehavior), not just competition, & maybe some odd assumptions about what's biology v early socializing of boys in here (but in way i don't think impacts conclusion)

Call me old fashioned, but I find it weird masthead is obsessed w focusing coverage on axis of “challenging vs validating” as opposed say “misleading vs informative”. Pretty clear from bad faith/patronizing how much disdain leadership at nyt has for their audience & it’s making their coverage worse

When you try to explain The Discourse to your offline SO

Odd sort of attempted hostage taking as this alleged belief will neither change their own personal expenditures or desire to save lives in literally any other way. Just a gun pointed at an imaginary population to con the rest of us into funding their second private island

Thanksgiving has commenced

Demerara attempts to go incognito mode

If I could waive a magic wand on school curriculum, I’d resequence math away from calculus to statistics, and part of that would include tackling formal logic and reasoning flaws. Is/ought confusion, correlation/causation, necessary/sufficient distinctions a lot more relevant today than integrals!

Tfw you’re waiting for tmw’s menu to come out (my dad takes thanksgiving very seriously)

Embracing my strawberry shortcake era for thanksgiving (and definitely not hiding from my and Katie’s combined parents being together for almost a whole week)

Men, the original pyramid scheme

Crypt of the necrodancer, binding of Isaac, cadence of hyrule, dead cells (maybe?)…you know the ones

Open your mouth and await my harvest

Neither asta nor mooncusser getting a star means Michelin shouldn’t be here (they haven’t announced winners yet but shortly, announced their non-winning recommended list)

Part II gotta be Olivia and Larry right?

Right right I forgot we knew this a year ago

Idk man maybe if you have to say “reading between the lines the piece is devastating” you might be a mark

First two days Katie is gone: responsible! Playing video games, eating healthy! Day 3: hello second dinner and drinks

You might hink 'oreo bits in oreos' is gilding the lily, but if you've been to Thomas Sweet*, where you can blend toppings into hardserve, oreo cooke ice cream blend w oreo cookies is food of the gods (tho gilding the lily would be the title of my autobiography so ymmv) *name really Grimm but well

Welp that’s a wrap on work for today

But what if, and hear me out, that guy is know as one of if not the most politic sexual predators of children and implies he has incriminating evidence of similar about the gop candidate for president and even your sketchy connected reporter is shocked you don’t follow up. There a story in there?

A number of law schools have these 250 word “tell us about/how to do something” essays to show off knowledge of an area/skill, and an absolute favorite one was a barista explaining the steps and considerations of making the dense microfoam you get on a good latte

Inverse snl tom brokaw skit-trump recording reactions to every news event in case he dies first

Education suffers from everyone “experiencing” it & confusing that with “expertise” on it. pundits go “well it worked for me so it must have been good” when a. Uh maybe it didn’t! Maybe you’d have done better in other systems! and b. What about how it works for everyone else?

P hacking stands for popularism hacking

We have removed ten teeth today and are immediately feeling a lot better.

Reddit out here promoting her new album is a reminder to me that Laufey is a dead ringer for my partner Katie (this is a slightly old photo of Katie but an still has a full decade on Laufey in this shot fwiw)
