Dear Nongshim (makers of my beloved Shin Ramyun): I can’t imagine that there’s any upside to being this stingy with the contents of your vegetable packet—in terms of money saved and reputational cost. I don’t feel like your heart is in it. I’m contributing an egg and shrimp (or kanikama). Your […]

I left Twitter because I was permanently banned for writing about fascism. . . . . .Because Twitter is now a fascist platform controlled by the richest fascist in the world. Some of us aren’t allowed there. So, the pro-X discourse seems like desperate (fascist) propaganda.

I don’t wanna name names, but the coffee shop near my house sells the worst coffee beans. Just crappy. They were supposedly roasted 3 days ago: - Beans have little/no smell. - Lots of chaff when grinding. - Little/no bloom on pourover. - Color & flavor are weak tea strength. Kinda papery (maybe […]

Hard pass. I’m not angry. I’m disappointed that people so easily toss aside any semblance of a principle because other people are doing it. I don’t care if every dumbfuck on the face of the earth goes back to X, there’s no way I’m ever going to post there again.

Finally paid off my student loans from my first time in grad school 20+ years ago. It wasn’t an easy decision. I was lucky with selling a house that I had in Tulsa, so I ended up with just enough money to mostly finish the doctorate and pay off all my (car and student loans) debt. I’ve never […]

Given the centrality of money to the employment relationship, it’s interesting that so little of the available research on employee well-being has anything to do with compensation. I mean, they look at engagement and burnout. It seems to me this is only looking at one side of the ledger, namely […]
