Asked Gemini to put a different paint color on my father-in-law’s house. Instead of doing that, it added a plaque to his front porch reading “Well done, porch” and added a place for him to hang his keys outside his front door.

I sense a future, 10 minutes from now, of someone surfing down the stairs or something like that.

9-year-old is tying pillows to all of his limbs, head, and midsection and says he has no future plans with this arrangement but I have my doubts.

I will happily pay my 65$/year to the Chapel Hill Public Library as the possible sole user of their extensive DVD collection.

Susan Collins claims that @propublica.org’s reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records. 📽️ Here’s how we independently corroborated much of Kao’s account. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyi...

The official Carrboro rec league scorekeeper has a uniform on. He looks very official, unlike myself.

score is 15-8 in the third inning and I honestly don’t know which team is winning because it all blurs

Other team has a karaoke machine which they are using to announce players and play walk up music. It’s a vibe and very fun.

Amazing work by @propublica.org and partners illustrating the lack of regulations around microschools in some states. www.propublica.org/article/prop...

In Arkansas, all it took was a few clicks on the Arkansas secretary of state website, $45 and an American flag to form a bona fide private school with the Arkansas Times.
We established a school with Mountain State Spotlight in West Virginia after filing our new school's name and location with authorities on a piece of notebook paper, then exchanging a few emails.
And with The Assembly in North Carolina, we filed an online notice of intent to open a private school at Ponysaurus Brewing Co. in Durham, while perched on its metal bar stools, eyeing glasses of a crisp kolsch.

Taking a day off today to get a transformative haircut and take a gigantic nap, and also to read book 2 in the My Brilliant Friend series.

I also feel terribly for birds stuck in airports. It must be so disorienting. There is one by my feet.

I love people watching at airports. I don’t travel a lot, which keeps it novel - but I could sit here for hours and watch people scurry about.

I have also had sushi handrolls for dinner twice - we don’t have that in Carrboro! - and went to Salt Cure‘s something something breakfast, which is an odd name for a restaurant but has delicious pancakes. A delicious trip.

My last meal in NYC is a vada pav and masala chai from Fonty’s, which I discovered through a New York Times video! Huzzah for discovering something delicious.

This pancake is amazing and hearing people talk about their first American breakfast is also great.

Still thinking about his writing style a day later. Watched a bunch of short firms on Vimeo. It’s so great to find someone with a deep archive that I’ve never looked at before.

I sort of forgot that pancakes are a distinctly American food and I didn’t realize that many tourists get a pancake as part of their trips here.

Having a pancake at a fancy pancake restaurant where it seems lots of people are trying pancakes for the first time and I am excited to be here for their journey.
