Took the family on a ride up the cog railway to the peak of Mount Washington. 157 year old line with a 117 year old steam engine. “Peak” fun and mild weather.

Grape nuts. Like eating gravel. My revenge was having it break my braces and parents having to pay to get them repaired.

Saw a lot of people buying this today. I must say, this is exceptional #FanTuan I know nothing about this other than it seems like a very popular breakfast food in Taiwan and I am now addicted to it as well. #Newton #MA #CrystalBakery

I will never go off roading and have no need for this feature, but “seeing” through the hood at the road below is cool and entertains the child.

Yep…John Carroll nails this. These mega mergers are terrible for everyone except some bankers and investors. Everyone else suffers. Having been through two of these as an employee during my career, I see no scenario where this is a good thing.

This takes me back to my first year in the Evans lab. Dave Macmillan had left behind this exact sized Belgian beer as a gift to the newbies in his hood. Needless to say, Tom Rovis and I finished this in evening after chilling it in a large ice bath. #Chemistry

I need to rewatch Silicon Valley. Apparently it is less parody and more documentary

Jake Janey @phlogiston1.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
It’s posts like this (ala LinkedIn) that I cannot tell sincerity from parody. Definitely a big “if” in that second paragraph and obviously written by someone with absolutely zero experience in life sciences.
