I have to (pretend to) care about KPIs again tomorrow - not enough coffee in the world- planning on derailing our morning standup with social nonsense so hard

America’s Test Kitchen recipes are always so fussy but man do they turn out >90% of the time - just made the best oven-roasted salmon of my life (also just ate 1/2 lb of salmon in one sitting lol)

Pretty good use of the bully pulpit - would love to see similar in Chicago for a variety of issues
“The mayor's office said New Yorkers will be able to testify about their biggest challenges as renters, from shoddy building conditions to hidden fees, during hearings in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.”
Mamdani announces NYC "Rental Ripoff" hearings in all 5 boroughs
Mamdani says tenants will testify at "Rental Ripoff" hearings before New York City takes action against "unconscionable" business practices.

On the off chance someone sees this - is anyone aware of any good longform writeups on the major factions within Venezuela? I have not done a good job keeping up with non-Euro world news unfortunately

The train sounds so different when it’s very cold - more like fireworks and less like thunder

My iPad finally got a cracked screen after about 100 falls b/c I’m a careless person and I think I’m taking this a sign from the universe that I only need 2 computer forms - 1) the big, desktop computer & 2) the phone

the character of Marty in Marty Supreme is so frequently putting other people in harm’s way (physical and/or emotional) and that makes it a very different movie from Uncut Gems - idk, I keep thinking back to that movie, and the acting was great but what a thing to put into this particular world

I kind of want to start watching hockey again (and the Blackhawks were my team) but the whole covering up sex abuse in the 2010s feels like a nonstarter - I don’t know if Mark Lazarus or anyone has done a retrospective but would like to know if they actually have a better culture/guardrails

Zohran Mamdani has already surpassed Brandon Johnson by having department heads to announce before taking office and not waiting six months.
I think people are underestimating how much Mamdani, even more so than your average elected leftist, see it as his top priority to not be seen as a failed mayor. He is not going to be another Brandon Johnson, I’d wager

I do think the handwringing about the Kennedy Center boycott is at least a little bit the sublimated anxiety about the potential social consequences of elite capitulation under Trump II

Right after the first big snowstorm of the year we were pulling up to my stop which was an absolute mess of snow & ice & the bus driver was like you can’t get out here & backed up to let me out at a shoveled corner
inspired by @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social ... reply or quote with your best bus ride this year.

Mine was definitely the one where the guy was really intent on making sure I heard him complimenting my wallet. Other one was the mini-bus that took us around Sintra in Portugal.

Uncut Gems worked because the protagonist who couldn’t ever learn from their lessons died in the end and Marty Supreme fails narratively because we’re supposed to trust someone who is seemingly incapable of reflection or growth with a child

Is anyone else just in like preemptive fatigue about businesses eating the seed corn by not hiring ANY juniors - I just look at our teams in my group and am like we shed about 4 senior people a year and hire approximately 1 new junior - the next 5 years are going to be rough

I fundamentally agree that mutual aid is not a substitute for an actual welfare state & it’s far more arbitrary and contingent than people deserve - but I think asking the comfortable (myself included) to think about what they can give and to meet other people’s needs is probably a pro-social thing

Cooking at my dad’s and embracing the chaos - why does he have 5 jars of capers ranging from 3 months to 6 years out of date? None of my business. Every kind of vinegar but white? We’re doing quick pickles in champagne vinegar instead
