Does anyone know the sound I'm trying to describe here... or is this just some strange thing that happened to me? "On a sunny spring day, nearly everyone in the school is outside. You can hear the noise from the playground, squeals, shouts, laughter and also the strange spidery echo the red […]

Thinking out loud: There's a lot of really heroic indy media documenting how inhumane Stephen Miller's dragnet is. We need a campaign noting that if you want to fix the housing market you need to fire Stephen Miller. www.nahb.org/advocacy/ind...

Just got back from the ant exhibit out in CT. It was amazing. I’ll post about it more later.

I keep seeing the idea that English is the next programming language and it's making me think there's a kind of inversion of how we think of coding skills and abstraction. I'd say that in order to express the necessary information in an English language specification you currently need […]

@ai6yr “The patient has a mixed backyard flock of domestic poultry at their home that had exposure to wild birds” would be a much more useful, sensitive, and humane piece of information to highlight rather than, ‘they were old and we don’t think they matter’

Around 1500, European fortifications switch from masonry walls around the keep to earthen bastions that can stop a cannonball. The Japanese in the 1500s think differently. They build a rectangular earthen mound and put the castle keep on top. It's basically a huge motte, like in Europe around […]

“Make unstoppable happen.” Sounds more like a threat than a slogan— I regard JP Morgan’s new slogan as a negative market indicator. There’s something self-conscious about it. Why would a proud and venerated investment bank like JP Morgan Chase even think about our glorious, ever-rising stock […]

What I have is catching. My husband just sent me a photo of the marble in an office he went to "it looks like an ant, what is happening to me?" "you are waking up, my love" (And speaking of interior decorating ideas... marble on the walls is a bit much ... oooh but I could go for THIS)

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.
