RIP Robert Moses, you would have hated Gen Z describing good things as "bussin"
obligations gripe, heavy
Have to rally to make an appearance at a family dinner with Ramsey's cousins who are in town but:
1) I had to get up at 5:30 this morning to go to Delaware for school stuff
2) and then come back from Delaware
3) and I spent both train rides reading Kiese Laymon's Heavy which is a shatteringly good and painful memoir so I'm also kind of fucked up from it?

songs that keep ending up on the studio playlists that stress me out:
- "Transatlanticism", Death Cab For Cutie
- that Gary Jules cover of "Mad World" from the Donnie Darko soundtrack
- some song that's definitely Animal Collective but I don't remember the title
Told an EMS worker in a coffee shop thanks for the time his ambulance came to my house after my partner had a seizure and now I feel like the most awkward person alive
"Villain era" I whisper while taking a big sip of my morning coffee and contemplating new ways to bully the press via open letters
got to the part of The Power Broker audiobook about the Long Island Expressway, oh no
https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02-14-so-whats-next.md not 100% on board with some parts of this post and also feel like it's a pretty clear case study in how open source largely exists to benefit capitalism and not actual human beings
the gap between cartography pedagogy's emphasis on basic design principles and like, every poster session I've ever passed through continues to astonish me
today in my spatial data science class: I like how "knowledge" is fuzzy
just got a spam email from someone claiming to have a high purity quartz mine in Pakistan
Valentine, you bring tears to my eyes like the baby Yoda puppet's graceful countenance. Only Jon Favreau's cowardice could ever separate us #WernerHerzogValentines
happy http://wernerherzogvalentines.com/ day to all who celebrate #WernerHerzogValentines
OK I'll bite: what's a "ted" lasso

Kitty has a best friend she sees at the dog park sometimes named Casey, and Casey's people invited us to their baby shower this weekend which is very nice of them but also I keep playing out having to tell strangers "oh, our dogs are friends" when asked how I know them

I very recently learned that the term “boycott” comes from someone’s actual name: Charles Boycott. Boycott was an English land agent who tried, in 1880, to collect unpayable rents from Irish peasants on behalf of an English aristocrat landlord. When he failed to collect the rents, he tried evicting the tenants. The Irish Land League responded with a campaign to ignore Boycott’s orders and isolate him socially and economically.
They not only ignored his eviction orders and threw manure at his process servers, but refused to deliver his mail or sell him food.

It was pretty effective—the British government eventually had to deploy a thousand soldiers (naturally, because the state works for the propertied class and none more than the 19th century British state) at a cost of some £10,000 to harvest £500 worth of crops. Boycott had to be evacuated by the soldiers, who even had to drive him out, as no locals would agree to drive his carriage out of the region.
Imagine being cancelled so hard that your name becomes permanently associated with getting cancelled.
