The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You donβt have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you donβt think theyβll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.
Practice letting people know that you appreciate them. It costs nothing.
Last week it was Luna Sole, whose lack of a web presence or history tipped me off that she might be AI: www.instagram.com/lunasole_mus...
I'm noticing that Spotify is recommending more music that seems to be AI-generated. This week I came across a Rihanna's "Umbrella": www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPiq....
This episode of @nprfreshair.bsky.social is enlightening and enraging. The country is always worse off when we aim for βnational healingβ instead of justice. Civil War, Nixon, Trump. Hopefully we learn quick! www.npr.org/2025/11/04/n...
Our show this week is the first episode of The Harvard Plan Season 2, our collaboration with the @bostonglobe.com about the fight for the soul of Americaβs oldest and most prestigious university. Hosted by award-winning reporter @ilyamarritz.bsky.social:

I want to hate-watch #Invasion, but donβt want to contribute to the analytics that might bizarrely get it renewed again. I may resort to torrents so Apple doesnβt infer the wrong conclusions. π
Thatβs the wrong takeaway I think. Not all startups force tooling on you. Vori, where I work, has licenses for Cursor and Claude Code. No one is forced to use them.
This.
2024 was such a weird year. The anti-DEI pushback didn't start under Trump, and it wasn't driven by the GOP.
This dude openly said, "Watch this! I'm going to turn gullible liberals against DEI!"π€‘ And then he did.
So called allies accepted fascist lies about what DEI is, without question.π€¦πΏββοΈ

After four years in this apartment I finally thought to oil the hinges of the pantry door. Yet, my brain and body are conditioned to listen for the squeak. Iβve created my own episode of βSlidersβ (a show that I canβt recall watching, but do recall the non-squeaky fence scene).
Despite all the handwringing about βintellectual diversityβ the reality is that higher ed exposes young people to a vastly different array of people and experiences than almost anything else you can do.
This was an pleasant surprise in my feed this afternoon.
Random realization: I can't recall when I last emptied the trash on my computer. Disk space hasn't been a major concern for at least five years!
Letβs clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program β the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!
It blows my mind that the party that touts its βChristian valuesβ is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.
We now have rebuttals to every Republican claim of legitimacy.
* No, Republicans can't be trusted with the economy. Given the opportunity they wrecked it.
* No, they aren't tough on crime. They shut down investigations of their thieving buddies, and pardoned violent insurgents.

Why is scientific notation the default for large numbers in Excel/Sheets? More often than not, I just want to print long numbers as strings.
