I guess the moral of the story here is that it’s never just a tattoo.

Since my father's death, I've been thinking about grief as a profound energy source-- of clarity, discipline, and commitment. With romantic weddings, we make promises to love our spouse. We should also normalize making vows to honor those who have left. karenattiah.substack.com/p/turning-my...

Turning my father's death into discipline
With grief comes a ruthless clarity on what matters. And a chance to commit new love vows.

I’m looking forward to continuing my streak since last January of going to my local liquor store and not even looking in the direction of the neighboring Target.

It’s tiring that we are increasingly stuck organizing our intellectual lives around arguing for the value of having an intellectual life

I live in Silver Spring, am from northern PA, and spend a lot of time in the winter in western New York, and I can honestly say this is the absolute hardest time I have ever had shoveling. This “snowcrete” is diabolical.

The U.S. has successfully convinced its people that “the humanities are frivolous and STEM is Important and Real” is basically a law of nature: this is absolute nonsense that we should stop putting up with.

People have been trying (understandably) to dunk on the FDA about this, but I think there's real progress in their acceptance of Bayesian stats. When I wrote about pediatric COVID vaccines in 2022 the FDA was still requiring frequentist methods, delaying the approval. www.nytimes.com/2022/03/01/o...

I’m re-opening the airing of grievances to mention the couple that sat next to us at a restaurant last Saturday and brought their young daughter who was in the middle of a florid upper respiratory infection. My family and I are now the sickest we’ve been in months. I hope the cacio e pepe was good.

I think we definitely lost something when we traded Toys-R-Us for digital retailers and buying toys sight unseen. I can’t tell you the number of times this year I’ve said to myself about a present I bought someone, “That turned out to be a goody gift”, only after they opened it.

Please do not send me a Slack message consisting solely of “Hi Tony” and wait for a response. I already know you need something, it’s not impolite to include the ask in your initial message.

I’m watching A Charlie Brown Christmas and just noticed that Lucy’s sign says “Psychiatric Help 5¢”. Does that imply she was handing out meds? And she’s pretty smug for someone who’s practicing medicine without a license.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.

The knight’s tour is a puzzle where a knight must visit every square of a chessboard exactly once, following its L-shaped movement pattern. Documented since the Middle Ages, it links to graph theory, combinatorics, and recreational mathematics. 🧵⬇️ (1/3)
