Not sure I believe those stories about women sleeping their way to the top.
I’ve improved my sleep hygiene as much as possible with an old woman’s bladder, I can sleep anywhere and at any time, and it hasn’t even improved my job prospects let alone my employment.

I wanna see Lifeguard and Bar Italia, but I also don't want to get home after midnight because I think the sleep deprivation I've been experiencing for the past couple weeks is making my body feel like shit. Why do we have to have stupid radius clauses that make tours skip PVD?

If you gave me a public transit improvement like REM in my daily life I’d be dragging my friends out to whatever I could with it.
Hell, just during the 4 weeks of half hourly PVD-Bristol bridge detour ferry we had I dragged friends on winter ferry trips with me and they enjoyed it!

Lots of people on Reddit were in disbelief about all the positive REM videos, thinking it was a CDPQ conspiracy.
No, people really do like transit that much. You just don’t follow it when it happens in other cities.
And on top of that, the REM really is a particularly exciting project!

POV: you are fighting with autoconf m4 macros in the same outfit you went to a play hours earlier in.
(I’m trying to get m4_foreach to expand a list into macros but the list comes from a shell variable and I hate myself)

The vibe of the version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Hold Me” where Christine sings the lead and with slightly different lyrics is wildly different than the one that made the album.

I got to Carnegie Mellon in mid 1991. My Andrew account gave me access to a system where all my files were everywhere.
I built a Unix computer from parts, got most of the software running (even the closed source parts) and one miserable school day decided I would work on distributed systems instead

If you don’t know the backstory of this, well… it really happened: the franchisee had issued and so started just buying stuff at the supermarket to sell.

No lie, I miss when LiveJournal lost “the juice”, inasmuch as it ever had it as a platform, because nothing else since has ever offered the same level of control to the user
Things that no platform has done better than LiveJournal:
- Selective audience lists
- The read more collapsed post
- Topic tagging for discovery and muting
- Clickable interest lists on your profile
- Current music field on every post
- Goat mascot foretelling that it would forever be the best

Today’s outfit for talking with middle school students about their ideas for improving their parks.
One little detail: found these earrings 9 years ago, cast off in Pittsburgh. I was among a group getting a tour of a building being rehabbed after being empty for years.

Sideways Chicago? Oh, you mean Horizonto?
Check out this 1923 transit plan commissioned by the Chicago City Council. We use to be insanely ambitious. A network like this would've supported Paris-level population densities.

The kids have good ideas but now I’m sad because most of them revolve around simply addressing, minimally, the ways we are failing our children.
In happier news, my work with the local Health Equity Zone means I’m apparently an esteemed elder whose input is being welcomed for the local middle school kids proposing parks improvements as part of their civics education. (Yay!!)
