I am on a 30 minute late NextGen due to mechanical issues and here's a complete breakdown. One is beginning to feel these trains are lemons.

My students, many of whom are the children of Asian immigrants, like to come in at the end of the day and read my Korean and Japanese sunscreen bottles to me. 😅

I am going to regret posting this I'm sure, but this is a normative position amongst many people I know, that in the end, loyalty to your current home gets you nowhere, they will come for us in the end, and if you don't also support the one place that will always take you in, you are screwed.

Really enjoying Prime Day falling on my birthday because there is already a hype machine counting down the days and building it up everywhere I go on the Intertubes.

I rarely read WaPo now, they sign you up for various newsletters immediately. As a person who has access to a NYT subscription and gifts articles all the time, I am mostly annoyed that ppl haven't figured it out yet and constantly answer, "lol thanks but I can't read it, it's behind a paywall." 🤦‍♀️

Amtrak sent me an email talking up their new deal with Bilt and how I can transfer points and life will be great without ever telling wtf Bilt is. The page it links to also does not ever say what Bilt is.

turns out it's pretty easy to trick America's vast population of ignorant rubes, you just buy up all the media companies and stuff them full of propaganda. Trump's problem is that he then immediately stabbed them in the back, repeatedly

There's a lot going on and there has been but I'm not sure anything has made me feel like I'm living in 1984 or This Perfect Day more than the morning news running a government ad with Trump speaking about how we're living in "the golden age of America."

If the Yankees keep scoring this game could last long enough for the Red Sox make it to October.

See, the problem is, Joyce Carol Oates did a post which people shared on Bluesky approvingly, so then she *had* to do a post which people would share in horror, or otherwise the force would be unbalanced. You can prevent this by just not screenshotting *anything* from Twitter.

I am inadvertently honoring Fat Bear week by eating salmon in some format every day this week. So far we've had pasta with salmon and bagel & lox and later on will be sushi, baked salmon, and gravlax. Go bears.

Someone whose podcast's old episodes I listen to to help me sleep just posted about being unable to sleep and I guess it would be rude to share my method with them. I adore the podcast, no disrespect.

Also, this is one of the most beautiful, inspiring Jewish teachings. To make *this* your antisemtic hook just means you're a particularly shitty person, even among antisemites.
