Just some guy in the Chicago suburbs trying to make sense of it all. Ahead of my time but also before my time.

There's a LinkedIn article about an audit firm launching a critical thinking certification for staff to help them use AI outputs. I already have that—it's called a liberal arts degree

I enjoyed season two of R.J. Decker. It's a little surprising that tonight was the season 2 finale considering other shows are just getting off the ground. It looks like High Potential and Matlock won't air until 2027, so I guess I'll have to find something else or catch up on streaming until then.

I like how in the title card of Cupertino we see the figurative development of Silicon Valley from the sky, with residential homes replaced by headquarters, and it looks like spaceships have landed or something human has been colonized. It reminds me of those crop circle pictures from the '90s

One odd trend I've noticed this year is for singers/bands to make visual content for their songs for streaming. They're not quite music videos, but they're more than a lyric video or visualizer. I guess video is a preferred format now, but these are low-budget and not that interesting to watch.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle, ch. 2 🏰 🧵: We follow Merricat home and meet Constance and Uncle Julian. We learn more about the house and grounds. Helen Clarke comes for her weekly visit and brings Mrs. Wright, who is unexpected but well received.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle, by Shirley Jackson 🏰 🧵: Ch. 1: This is my first time reading this, though I've read Hill House and short stories. Jackson has a distinct style, and has a way of making a key sentence land. We meet Mary Katherine Blackwood as she runs errands in town.

Book cover of We Have Always Lived in the Castle. A black and white drawing of a young woman holding a black cat, with her sister behind holding her shoulders, and a crowd of townspeople in the background.

The real lesson from all of those group projects in school is that people will be unreliable throughout your life, but you'll be forced to work with them anyway

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues, I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans. -- [My name] Chief Bone Inventor Chair, Department of Foot and Leg Innovation Lord Mayor, Musculoskeletal Medicine Hartford HealthCare, The Bone & Joint Institute at Hartford Hospital.
