academia 

got comments back on my thesis and while there's some stuff I need to revise I'm so glad I have such a smart and supportive advisor!!

@n1ckfg @courtney sure, do we actually think John Roberts would dare though, like he couldn't even bring consequences down on whoever leaked the overturning of Roe which for sure was done by a justice IMO

also, not the most important part but "Harlan Crow" would be a good name for like, Benoit Blanc's nemesis

@courtney I think the trouble is that (elected) politicians can usually dress up bribes as "campaign contributions" or something and there's less plausible deniability when it's an appointed for life judge? maybe?

OK I'll admit, this Clarence Thomas news might be a bigger deal than the Barbie movie

having a lot of fun when people try to talk to me about the "big news" yesterday by assuming they mean the Barbie trailer dropping

thinking about that scene in Lady Bird where Timothee Chalamet tries to put Lady Bird's personal problems in perspective by talking about all the civilians killed in Iraq

@ingrid got that aqua song stuck in my head but "i'm a barbie girl / destroyer of worlds"

honestly am prepared to believe that the Barbie movie has better politics than Chris Nolan's Look At The Tortured Geniuses Who Built A Genocide Machine, So Hard To Be Them

Show thread

I know it's not intentionally opening the same day as Chris Nolan's Oppenheimer biopic but it's going to be hilarious if Oppenheimer gets obliterated at the box office by the Barbie movie

side note: gluten-free is next-level, but swapping out butter with coconut oil in a basic flour-ice water pie crust totally just works if you need to cut out dairy

Show thread

one was made without dairy for friends with a baby who is allergic to bovine proteins (which is a nightmare for parenting), one made regular just to see if I could, and one regular one made tonight for our neighbors who just had a baby

Show thread

have made three (3) quiches in the last three (3) days??

@hugh @platypus yeah it doesn't strike me as a heavily reported out story, more of a "hey we saw this in a public disclosure document"

eldiarioar.com/politica/duenos en español, a new overview of the corporate ownership of Argentina's lithium industry. The fact that most of the big US financial players involved in these mines also own Argentinian sovereign debt bonds is I guess unsurprising but seems kind of important?
