Welp... Got laid off from Podia today. Kinda a lot to process for a Thursday. I'll have something more coherent to say eventually. For now, send Ruby/Rails leads. Or dog pictures.... Both are good.

Anyone who writes the sentence "Average IQ, having risen for the entire 20th century, now appears to be falling" (sans citation, I might add) does not merit attention, time or energy.

I have to acknowledge that this by @j-amesmarriott.bsky.social does an excellent job of proving its own point, by being appallingly badly researched (mostly random and inaccurate/misleading snippets from X, I think). I blame the Times more than Oxford, though. archive.ph/kYfps

Got the time last week to process some of the photos from the Athiraplly area last year. What a wonderful world we live in.

Shot from my hometown of Nemmara. Views of Nelliambathy hills. I wanted this to be the first picture I post here in Bluesky. This small town in Palakkad has the most gorgeous views of western ghats in Kerala
