I wanted to be a professional cellist and was on track to do so but turned out to be really good at programming computers. I could do it for hours and hours at a time and be a happy guy.
I decided for a steady paycheck and was troubled about it for a long time but actually have no regrets

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

A Panasonic rice cooker from the local Asian grocery. Got it in college because my (now) husband heard about this cool appliance that could just cook rice.
It cost like $15 and we’ve been using it to make perfect rice for 20 years

IC 1396: The Elephant’s Trunk #nebula. This natural-color image was taken from a dark-sky location in Colorado.
The trunk is the column of dust in the center. It sits in a huge region of ionized hydrogen with reflections from giant yellow stars

This month's astrophoto is the North American Nebula + Pelican Nebula.
This huge star-forming region lies about 2500 lightyears from earth. These nebulae are actually the same cloud of glowing hydrogen separated by a band of obscuring dust in the foreground.

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.
So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?
