Well don't I feel stupid

So we have now entered the Stalinist phase of "give me the man, and I will find the crime"

Spending today volunteering at Horizons for Homeless Children in Boston along with other Vertexians. An amazing facility and org. Love the week of Service where almost the entire company volunteers their time. horizonschildren.org

What!? #CostCo I guess I know where I am going after work tomorrow.

You guys, I’m not an economist I didn’t even graduate from college, though I do have an advanced degree (but not a fancy one) and even I know this is not a good sign

"Some people are saying that it’s free speech only if everyone gets to use it. But I don’t like the way you’re using it. The way you’re using it is hurting my feelings. The way you’re using it is making me worry I won’t get to become president of the United States a few more times."

I’m sure all the standup comedians who have been ranting about censorship the last few years are going to take to the streets any minute now.

New favorite motivational quote from #Wednesday Adams

the journal not only publishes trump's epstein card/confession but provides an analysis to demonstrate its veracity. impressive. [gift link]

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Yeah this is real. Mike Johnson said Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case.

I will never apologize for a post

Crawl harder, Albert. It’s still not going to do you - or anyone else who debases themselves like this - any real good in the end.

I once had a first gen liquid handling robot that served without fail for 20 years. After replacing it, I extracted the mother board and made a plaque for it to commemorate its years of service.

It's taken me a while to work out who RFK Jr looks like but I think I cracked it. A character who causes immeasurable damage to vulnerable people and is protected by his family's wealth and political connections.

Is it possible to buy too much Maple Syrup? Found this at my local farm stand. Gallon sized local stuff.

Cash crunch + repressive federal government = Chicago crashing out of the top tier of schools for a while. Not great days for my alma mater.

“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. … Kennedy’s words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus. Americans deserve better.” That’s former CDC director Bill Foege. 🧪

Same…no donations from this alum (ever)

This is really cool tech… the attached article is worth a read. Essentially: 3D printed parts, with varying mesh patterns allows for varying directional flex throughout part, without needing to use/join multiple materials. It’s also not foam, so can be easily washed without water retention.

Wearing some chemistry today #Chemsky thanks to the DeSimone group and his Carbon3D resin technology company (with Adidas). Must say, these are some comfortable sneakers (fully printed).

Someone should have told Zuckerberg

I am out of date a bit as well, but previously have purchased multiple versions of the Genevac EZ series and found them to be rock solid and tolerant of solvents on their seals. Had one for years in a glove box w/o issue.

Walk the High Line and check out Pier 57. Also, Chelsea Market (next to the highline) is amazing for food stalls

And of course a view from atop the #HighLineNYC of pier 57 and the Hudson River

Looks like I missed the bus…the TEA TOUR BUS in #NYC. Next time…

No #MichelinRatings but hands down my favorite hole-in-the-wall NYC food joint. Deep fried pork chop on rice with pickled mustard greens, mystery gravy, and an egg. #NYCFood Oddly, miss this place the most since moving to MA a few years ago.

Quick day trip to NYC (made it here from MA in 3h). Smoked fishe heaven at Zabar’s is my first stop.

My definitive, completely objective, local #MetroWestBoston #MA sweet corn ratings as of today: #1001: Whole Foods 1/10 #3: Hutchins Farm 7/10 #2: Verrill Farm 8/10 #1: Ferjulian’s Farm 10/10 (second year in a row. Sweet perfection)
