Went on a run, was lovely after a dumb week. Came across a group of people wearing festive sweaters taking over the whole sidewalk, they did not get out of the way but said hello and happy holidays and I caught the whiff of pot as I passed and it’s all good if you’re too high to move but are nice

I feel like the true unsung hero of this movie is the driver, just giving his unobtrusive support the whole time
Five minutes left in the third and the 7yo is loudly cheering on the Mighty Ducks.

We had our Culture Party at school today and it was great as always to see our students from all over show off their great clothes, dance moves, artifacts, food, etc.
I only got emotional a few times!

I'm always bummed when I own a movie (today, When Harry Met Sally) but don't have a DVD player on which to play it and the only streaming options are to rent it for $15?
I restarted Somebody Somewhere instead. Good stuff.

I made it from the bed to the couch before noon!!
Threw up in the middle of the night. Slept terribly, because the fear of throwing up more got into me (I hate it so much). Feeling okayish and looking forward to a couch/bed day. Gonna see if I can find When Harry Met Sally on streaming

The charging port in my phone stopped working, so I'm scrambling to get a MagSafe charger so I can actually use my phone, because it's small and cute and screw you I don't want a new phone!! You can pry my (dead) iPhone mini 13 from my cold hands!

Bummed about this because it used to be a place I could stop on a run and was close enough to run home with the goods. Laune is great but not open on Sundays?!

I am happy to get ICE alerts by text (that I pretty much can never respond to, as I don’t have even have my phone on me most of the work day) but I wouldn’t mind if it were balanced out with any other person texting me

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

On AI and students: I got a really good paper from a student. As in no, really good, on age verification automation as an accelerant to botnets. So I pull the student aside last night and say you should put it in for the new student journal or the UNC undergrad symposium
