https://placing.technology/how-does-google-maps-make-money-or-the-curious-case-of-vanessa-mayer I got mad at a paper and then I laid out why I lowkey don't think Google Maps is profitable

honestly this is probably a boring blog post for most normal people who want to read about geo stuff but I am sharing it for personal accountability purposes and also maybe someone who's better at Latour than me can splain him a little

https://placing.technology/my-dead-white-guys-or-i-have-to-retcon-theory-into-the-dissertation I complained about having to think about theory for my dissertation because I'm approaching the "shut the hell up and actually write it" stage of work

Debating inviting another committee member to whatever meeting she wants to do just to deflate the tension but suspect she will get mad about that

feels deeply dumbass-millennial coded that one of the most consequential listservs of people doing geospatial software stuff in the 2000s was called "geowanking" and now I have to explicate that name in a dissertation

RIP Corp team a month ago: working on an episode about pensions, maybe after the city primary Brad Lander will have time for us?

RIP Corp last week: LOL, LMAO even

https://buttondown.com/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-132/ this week in sentences: Everglades, several inches, reason to believe, humbled by age, dreamcatcher forearm, between a lentil and, unembarrassable, regolith, turned out

Respect to the guy in his fifties I saw today sitting outside the laundromat with a paperback edition of All Fours

Just overheard a guy greet a sparrow that landed on his cafe table with "well hey, little freak!"

Worried that a job interview I had scheduled was abruptly cancelled today not because of someone being sick as they told me but because this org actually accidentally scheduled me by mistake and is trying to save face or looked at my social media and said JK, both of these options feel great
