#21 The Story of a New Name (Elena Ferrante, 2012) Book 2 in her Neapolitan series, and if possible even more astonishing than the first. The characters that populate it are fragile, genuine, brutal, naive, beautiful, mean, lonely, and so intense that they scream out of each page #booksky 📚💙🖋️

I now see Bethesda is a bit far but when I used to live in DC, I used to go to Salsa dancing for every Tuesday at Barking Dog and still took Metro home back to Arlington. I guess I was young and didn't have children.

Gas prices are over $5 a gallon in Chicago, but a lot of families don't see an alternative to driving. So we talked to the owner of Offbeat Bikes in Chicago about how a cargo ebike can replace a car for most trips, from big grocery shopping hauls to taking the kids to baseball! (full video 👇)

I was thinking it probably does not matter in Indiana or Kentucky but in some areas, Republican challengers who won in primary may not win in general.

I have an idea for a sequel to Bluey. Bluey finished her college, finished internship but didn't land in the job. Come back to her parents home and live with them. Parents nudge her to "find some job" but Bluey is unsure what to do. She eventually takes random part time jobs.

I had many calls with recruiters of Meta and even 5 years ago, their business model looked a bit antiquated. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/t...

now we are setting up home office again, i need a KVM switch so that i can connect my work macbook pro and my personal M4 mac mini

my work Macbook pro has only 2 USB-C port and one stopped working!! what kind of genius thought it was good idea to limit the number of connector to your laptop?

I transformed an optical mouse into a unique camera that captures images in a stunning 30x30 pixels and 64 shades of gray. Check out this creative project!

I wonder which insider they are. Probably someone who has access to all the plans

We made a makeshift rocket stove and made ramen noodle with Sufian today

I was biking Lincoln and a car was blocking the bike lane so I used my train horn to honk and honk. A woman appeared and she was upset and yelled at me, I am using the stop light. Well am sorry that is not the point, please do not block the protected bike lane.

This really hurts. We should be ashamed of what our elected government has done to the voiceless and people who are in dire need.

Oh why

I took train ride to Santa Monica yesterday and it was lovely, even had chance to bike around. I only saw downtown LA and Santa Monica, I have previously visited Pasadena as well. I generally think the car centric super sprawled state of LA - really ugly and terrible, failure of urban design.

New in Nature: LLMs give "the party line" in the languages of authoritarian regimes. This works when they control the media, which feeds pretraining data. We show more state control over the media means less critical LLMs. 6 studies spanning 38 languages & 13 models. Details ↓

It feels like AANHPI Month arrives this year under a shadow. My family was incarcerated during World War II — not because we had done anything wrong, but because of who we were. Fear was weaponized against us.

Why reinvent what is working already.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Maybe he can be an handyman for her.

What kind of fucking corruption this is?

Made it to the Dodgers game!!! I will drink bad expensive beer and eat hot dog!

Finally at hotel 2pm Chicago time. As I woke up 5:30 am yesterday, it has been a looong day.🥱

Ok what is this LAX, you need to take a shuttle bus before calling Uber/Lyft?

AIに統計の論文をアップロードして、注釈をつけてもらいながら読めるのは嬉しい

Today my flight to LAX was scheduled at 3pm, and it ended up taking off at 9:10 pm. The reason of delay was caused by mechanical issue and not wether related. This is a stupid reason and air carrier should give money back to passengers. AND I MISSED DODGERS GAME!!

This United airplane is taking forever.

I love the press now using only unflattering versions of Hegseth in headlines 😆

I don't fly United anymore (after the incident they beat up Asian passengers) but am flying United today as there were no good Delta flights to LA, and yes I still loce Tortas

Am heading to LA

New bike infrastructure can totally change how people can imagine themselves moving around. On YouTube, someone left a comment on our Lincoln Ave video saying they got an e-bike thanks to all the new infrastructure in @andrefor40th.bsky.social's ward!

もう二十年以上前、教育学部の大学院で早稲田の豊田先生が共分散構造分析の授業をしていて、当時は利用方法が余り思い浮かばなかった。いま仕事で、Instrumental variable regression を使っていま参考書を読んでいるが、実はこれSEMに似ている。二十年ぶりの再会。

WHY DO WE HAVE WARS? Because we are ruled by an elite group of psychopaths who own the banks that control the governments and media. They fund both sides of war for profit and they manufacture the consent of the public through the propaganda of the media. ~Stephen Geist RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
