Death by starvation is turning out to be at least as bad as death by firing squad. Because we have no termination notice, everyone is struggling to apply for bridge funding, and no one is stepping in to save our work, because our project "still exists" even as our labs' bank accounts hit zero. /5

Saw the worst misreading of a post imaginable earlier and I'm still thinking about it -- was it a bit? A bot? But it honestly seems like only an earnest human could be that wrong in the particular way they were wrong.

Tidal came out with the year-end wrap up. My top song was Nobody Speak by DJ Shadow/Run the Jewels, and the next was Lady (You Bring Me Up) by the Commodores. I feel surely this has to be more meaningful than, like, sun sign and moon sign.

Arcadia was one the works I wrote about in my undergrad thesis, and I was lucky enough to see it at OSF that same year. We had enough money for tickets and gas but not a hotel room, so four of us bombed down to Ashland for a matinee and then drove back after. Those were some good friends!

"Iannarone said the effort to send the transportation package to voters “doesn’t protect struggling households, it leaves them stranded – threatening transit for seniors, making it harder for kids to get to school safely, and blocking basic services like plowing roads and filling potholes.
