a "fun" part of grad school is auditing undergrad classes that start at...8:40 in the morning? at least it's online

@vruba congratulations and sorry lol

I am regrettably good enough to do data science now but no one hires that freelance I think so I'm safe

"What's the big idea" is a fun phrase because I would be curious to know if a broader conceptual framework underlies a minor slight I'm experiencing

can't believe Stanzi Potenza has turned me into the kind of guy who goes to comedy shows

@miriamkp a treasure!!

has there ever been a director/actor duo more perfectly paired than M. Night Shyamalan and Rupert Grint

@TeamMidwest tbh I think a lot of it is faith and most people just don't want to admit it or they'd rather hear that the faith one holds is in (blech) the market?
