Now that Taylor Waddell has earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley, he is rapidly working toward his doctorate in the field of BART-themed Halloween costume studies. We are ready to bestow a diploma on this postdoc, posthaste.

Live your life so that your eighth grade teacher doesn’t feel the need to protest you.

The Hiller Museum has been on my list of things I need to see and now that I have this endorsement I need to go even more.

In retrospect I suppose I could have expected Twin Temple, a band that advertises itself as a satanic do-wop band, to spray stage blood into the audience at the end of their show. I was close enough to get splattered. At least I assume it was stage blood.

This is why I just nerd-sniped my spouse by asking about lighting and we just spent the last hour checking the lights (and why I'm about to buy a light strip for my home office).

Hey @petersagal.bsky.social cat gentleman here, this is my cat Rio.

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

It was great to meet Fuzzy at the con!

Where’s Waldo but it’s me.

To no one's surprise, book signings have been...busy today at #LAconV. 😅

Flying into SNA this afternoon I looked out my window and saw a building that looked familiar … because I had been looking at the map of Worldcon and the complicated grid that is the Anaheim Hilton triggered my memory, next to the convention center and Disneyland #worldcon

Optimist: The glass is half full Pessimist: The glass is half empty SRE: The glasses are provisioned at n+2, so we can take one glass down for maintenance and still have capacity for another glass to be destroyed while still maintaining adequate capacity for the expected peak load.

Doctors say that childhood vaccines save thousands of lives. A guy who shits himself in public and struggles to pass basic cognitive tests say they cause autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

It’s that time of year again: here are some of the books I’ve enjoyed this summer. If you’ve read any good ones, let me know!

Interesting operational change coming to my most common BART station. I’ll have to update my muscle memory about which trains stop where but it looks like an improvement 👍

President: "We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win today the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight."

I have read The Raven Scholar and of the many things I'm thinking about it, I grew up steeped in Adventist eschatology and it was interesting seeing how this second-word fantasy incorporated its own eschatology so deeply into the culture ("May the Eight bless us/ and remain hidden").

A spaceship has now appeared over New York City. Its shadow has sent Manhattan into an eerie veil of dusk, from Staten Island to well beyond the Harlem River, in the middle of what had been a sunny afternoon. Countless fender benders have ground typical borough traffic to a halt.

Huh.

We don’t typically do political endorsements, but desperate times, etc.

Pretty sure I read about this in Cars and Trucks and Things That Go.

I did not realize there was a whole franchise but of course it makes sense. Also that the kid is a year older than my first kid so of course they’re off to college.
