and the rest of my brain can wander. And it’s a satisfying task because you can hold it and see it’s done. I clean as I go when cooking, juggling cooking tasks with taking advantage of moments when I can ignore the food to wash up, no anxiety hamsters. As long as no one talks to me.

I hated doing dishes growing up. My mom would lecture me on doing them as she did them for me. I had a superpower that made guys I dated do my dishes. And then I had a roommate who was worse, and I tried to be a good example, which failed, but I came to like doing dishes. Quiets the anxiety hamsters

Tiny fresh babies! Their mother is terrible and keeps leaving them in the long grass, hence their bucket ride to safety. I also looked at photos of Myrtle and shouldn't have. I need more emotional support babies.

Sherdar Madrasa at the Registan Square in Samarkand — Vasily Vereshchagin, 1869-1870.

A painting of a beautiful building in an Islamic Style. a couple of smokestack-like Towers, a couple of pointed domes. the facade is decorated colorfully.
the square in front of the madrasa is quiet but the life of the city is going on: people walking around, people selling things

I used one of these to connect my phone to the stereo in my old car. When Apple got rid of the headphone jack, I got a Bluetooth dongle that connected to the cassette adapter jack. I was doing this a few years ago. I showed the friend I gave the car to how it worked so she could use it.

Best part of this muddled article by one of Bloomberg's money guys is that two of the charts make a compelling case that knee-jerk opposition to AI is wholly justified because technological progress doesn't increase productivity, it just enables greater income extraction by capital. Oops!

The fiscal year is over. The dying Social, Behavioral, and Economic division of NSF ended up awarding 90 total grants this year, as opposed to ~700-800 in recent past years. Source: grantwitness.org/nsf/analyses...

The graph shows the cumulative number of awards made by month across this fiscal year, as compared to the last 6 fiscal years. The line for this year is total flat until June, but then finally gets up to 91 by October. In prior years the increase starts building earlier and ends on average in the 700-800 range (with variability, last year was only between 400-500).
