At the moment I am lease-constrained, but in the past we renegotiated these absolute limits to, say, the number of thumbs in the household.

One striking thing about negotiating middle age is how young we lose friends, colleagues, and influences that have shaped us. (I didn't know Friedman but I do know her work.)

Things I was frightened of as a small child: - The very, very tall escalators to the deep Metro stations in downtown DC - The friars at the local Franciscan monastery (I somehow thought they made you one of them?!) - The Wumpus

Someone should really, really adopt Cid. This cat is the kind of cat who will take your love and return it tenfold. I don’t have enough words for him— kind, curious, charming, full of personality & presence. This is the kind of cat who will be someone’s soul cat. Elkton, MD. Apply: bit.ly/4cOmi21

Cid, an extremely handsome marmalade-colored orange tabby cat with pretty stripes and tall ears, one of them clipped as a former TNR cat.

More and more an advocate of streets being pedestrian-only except for emergency vehicles, transit, and specific delivery hours. Park the SUV at the edge of the neighborhood near the main road

Alanis Morissette joined Brandi Carlile on stage at Red Rocks tonight. They sang Uninvited and Hand in my Pocket. I nearly passed out. It was amazing

I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.

My neighbor told me Captain Hook keeps stealing his Lost Boys so I asked how many Lost Boys he has and he said he just goes to Kensington and gets a new Lost Boy afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just recruiting Lost Boys for Captain Hook and then Tinkerbell started crying.

I don't have the chops to evaluate a claim of a Navier-Stokes counterexample, but I think the more interesting question is whether comparably-funded human mathematicians (millions of dollars for about a hundred mind-years of thinking) would have made the same class of discovery

Look, I've never made a movie or written a screenplay, but I'm pretty sure you improvise a line, a goof, a scene, a character dynamic. If you're on fire, or you're Billy Boyd, you might add whole new scenes around on-set serendipity! ... Doomsday is gonna be a trainwreck, isn't it

You know what? Fuck fare gates. They're the transit equivalent of stop-loss on diapers or groceries. People in general don't dodge fares for thrills. Automate high-value car tab enforcement instead.
