I love that you can clearly see both when I moved to New York and the two little spikes where I visited before moving.
The last year of my Steps with spikes in December, March and starting in July. (For the May trip I was sick as hell and mostly stayed inside). September is higher than it will be because it’s just one day and not an average

I mean does anything describe the Trump era better?
CHAPTER 25: THE TRIUMPH OF UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE • 5 OF 24
This suggests a general theory of the long-term effects of endemic systems gaming a theory of society-wide value collapse. This happens when:
1. a system is built to pursue some rich value.
2. the system offers some clear, stable signals for value.
3. there is some gap between those signals and what's actually valuable.
4. some actors optimize for the social signals of value rather than what's actually valuable.
5. those actors are rewarded by the relevant social systems- with status, resources, and power.
The result is that over time, the ones who gain power in the system will be those who are willing

Have to make it pretty deep into @add-hawk.bsky.social’s The Score to get to the chapter The Seduction of Clarity but man it’s a banger
CHAPTER 24: THE SEDUCTIONS OF CLARITY • 13 OF 22
the philosopher of science William Wimsatt puts it, the scientific method is built to be constantly on the lookout for any signals of error and then relentlessly use those errors to improve its models.
Science, says Wimsatt, is built around a system of error metabolism.
Seductive clarity works by avoiding error metabolism. One clever way to design for seductive clarity, then, is to build a belief system that conceals signs of its own mistakes.
So here is a recipe for a seductive clarity trap:
First, build a belief system that offers a satisfyingly clear, coherent explanation of the world.
Second, make sure the belief system conceals any evidence of its own error.
In conspiracy theories, the error-concealment

Quiet art time with the kids and Callie asked to contribute to my sketch so she did the and and the hand. Proportion a little off but man that hand is just SO much better than a 6 year old should be able to do! She also did “the inside of the eyes.”

Made this shirt for my husband - a little kid came up to him and complimented him, and my husband says “Thanks! I like having a shirt with two different colored sleeves.” And this kid says “is that a part of your gender identity?” Obsessed.

I cannot stress enough that lunch does NOT cost $28 now, even if you "have" to eat out for lunch (which is not in any way required for any sort of job / life circumstance).

Eric asked me to look up the word "calefaction" (which he read in a children's book)
A google search for "calefaction in english" returns an AI Overview for -
Calcification is the accumulation of calcium salts in body tissues, causing them to harden and disrupting normal function. It can occur in arteries, heart valves, organs (like kidneys or lungs), and tissues, often due to injury, infection, or chronic disease. While normal in bone formation, soft tissue calcification is usually pathological.

Despite being title Lyle Lyle Crocodile and Superman this cover depicts most dinosaurs and a big eagle, though I think I see the title characters in the upper right. There’s also there dino claws scratching through the paper and a no bananas sign in the lower right.
