Gentle reminder to check in with your body and take care of yourself. Our nervous systems are not equipped for a 24/7 firehose of terrifying information and taking some time and space to meet your needs will allow you to be ready for your leg of the relay. Hydrate, nap, eat, craft, be in community.

A consequence of our new illegal war: cancelled Caribbean flights, with spillover effects on domestic travel. Sitting in an airport now because there is no pilot for our plane. Pilot was coming in from San Juan. Airlines scrambling to staff domestic flights.

The whole "Grok admits" "Grok apologizes" thing reminds me of the famous IBM presentation quote that evidently everyone has forgotten. And I do think representing your brand on social media counts as a "management decision".

"buying music is expensive but i wanna support artists and spotify is the only option for that" i have a tip for you:
pirate all the music you want. all of it. no matter how much. set aside each month a spotify subscription's worth of money and use that to buy something off of bandcamp or itunes.

Once a HS social studies teacher was inexplicably forced to do a day of sex ed and didn’t know what to do, so he told us about a “timekeeper,” who is someone at a bar who you don’t think is attractive enough to hook up with and when you’ve drunk enough for them to be attractive, you should go home.
What’s the most significant advice you received from a teacher?
I had a Geology prof who always said “have strong opinions, loosely held”
Be passionate, assess alternatives with conviction, take sides. But don’t fall so in love with your opinions that you can’t change them with better data.
