A friend reminded me of this blogpost, today. It's an old link, from back when I read such articles bulimically. I don't know how I feel about it now. I don't think it's genius anymore, but it's still part of who I am.

I wish I could focus on this thought when I'm trudging, jet-lagged and hating the entire world, through an airport. But I doubt I'm enlightened enough to remember this when I'm not relaxed at home.
so much beauty trotting at the airport. everyone is just tryin their best in a big complicated place, helpin each other when they can. folks getting frustrated sometimes but ultimately just tryin to trot home to someone they love. so moving

"River" (2025) is a super cute groundhog minute comedy! At an inn in a Japanese mountain resort, the same two minutes keep repeating. The staff and customers disagree on whether they want time to resume or continue looping. High jinks ensue... I had a lovely time.

I just came back from "Pooja, Sir," a Nepalese thriller about the disappearance of two boys during a riot in the South of the country. It's a very by-the-books police procedural that is light on gorgeous views of Nepal, but teeaches the viewer a lot about current politics in the country.

We're really spoiled with Gothic churches in Rouen. I wasn't that fussed over the Abbatiale de Saint-Ouen, but then they uncovered the newly cleaned front of the church, and now I get it...

This is hilarious.
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

You are not more likely to be killed by a coconut than a shark. This is a statistical error.
Coconuts Georg, who lives under a coconut tree and is killed by 10,000 coconuts a year is an outlier and should not have been counted.

![The text above the image reads: Ever since I learned the word for a group of raccoons is a gaze, scenes from English literature take on whole new meanings. [laughing-emoji]
Within the image, there are four different scenes corresponding to different literary quotes. Number 1: "Your gaze is very direct, Miss Eyre" from Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. In the picture, Jane Eyre is accompanied by a group of raccoons, one of whom has just said to Mr. Rochester, "We want food!" Number 2: "She returned his gaze" from Ian McEwan's Atonement shows a woman carrying a box full of raccoons back to her reluctant ex-boyfriend. Number 3: "His gaze was direct, holding my eyes" from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander shows a clustered group of racoons physically holding open a shocked woman's eyelids. And number 4: "That somber, thoughtful gaze of his did not leave her face. She did not find it embarrassing" from Agatha Christie's Towards Zero shows a woman on a sun-lounger with her face entirely covered by a swarm of raccoons.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rmjconpldkourhtggdcnweqf/bafkreicywseulbd5mze5cveupuljh3cqyga2556ijxkvvurbhvktma752y@jpeg)
