Also yes, it loads super-slow sorry

Sat next to a sleepy little corgi on the subway home, NYC is back baby

Maybe it's a good time to mention that the grant I got for my PhD research is a project collecting documents and oral histories of GIS software development.

Trying to become a podcast guy, what are the good ones

Grateful for croissants for giving me a way to eat an entire stick of butter without getting my hands quite as greasy

The thing is there is actually a really good critical book on commodity trading by an extremely posh British journalist (guy literally named RUPERT who went to HARVARD) but he used his posh credentials to basically get industry assholes to tell on themselves?? It can be done!!

To be clear it doesn't seem as though Corbyn actually outed this guy as "posh" or uh, personally judged him, feel like the defensiveness here is saying a lot
