In a blur of a week: suddenly remembered that I got hit by a Tesla on Tuesday in Seattle. Hit my hand, less than an inch from my leg. Unsure if it was the car or human that stopped it, but something I thought Teslas couldn’t do that easily.

I have no way to know one way or another but I strongly suspect that the Liam Neeson thing is a "he will, Ron Burgundy-like, read any voiceover that you put in front of him as long as the check clears" situation rather than a "he is secretly an anti-vaxxer activist" situation.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Tea rooms became popular in the years after WWI, often operated by war widows who suddenly found themselves to be the sole breadwinner for the family. Most featured simple dishes at affordable prices. Isn’t this cover gorgeous?

1. Some manuscripts have real character.
They are often not the smartest, shiniest manuscripts, but rather the ones that have seen things. The manuscripts that have really been used (and abused). Today I spent the day with a very charismatic manuscript at the NLS, Edinburgh...🧵

A recent work travel glut has me back on luggage fixation.
For me: the best carry-on is a roller duffle. Not too may compromises on the duffle; all the benefits of the roller. (Also nice because they tend to be 2 wheels vs 4; really hate that 4 wheels became the standard in roller bags).

I think everybody at NPR is glad our Susan Stamberg left us an advance obit for Frank Gehry. A legend on a legend.
Frank Gehry, whose designs defied gravity and convention, dies at 96
Gehry transformed modern architecture with exuberant buildings such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Guggenheim Museum. "I've always been for optimism and architecture not being sad," he said.

'Financial dysmorphia" is such a great way to describe what I've been calling status anxiety. Holy shit
Financial dysmorphia is a thing.
My wife and I are from Boston but live in Pittsburgh. We always say, "we can't afford to live in Boston"
Then I fill out student financial aid and we are top 5% and seriously wtf is wrong with us. Lots of people with less live in Boston
