CONNECTICUT you are being dumb today if you aren't outside. I'm just on my laptop sitting outside and it is incredible. This may be the best day all year yet for beautiful weather. Don't miss it! Don't just open a window, open a door!!!

Took the 11yo to CASTLE IN THE SKY at the movie theater for the 40th anniversary and not just because I already loved the film but it really is a perfect movie for a kid about to go to middle school we had a blast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m not crying you’re crying.

I don’t care why you do the right thing so long as you do the right thing but I’ll pay attention and know you may not usually do the right thing for a good reason. This is a skeet about Nicholas Hoult, a generational talent who made a good decision but late.

During first-year orientation at UChicago I remember everyone saying "Oh my God it SO nice to be with SO MANY smart people" while having the "oh shit they're ALL as smart as me" look in their eyes (yes me too). We all got over it, but, yeah, recognizing you're no longer "the smart one" is a thing

One of my important roles as a senior academic: telling/reminding super-smart junior people that (1) they may soon have the novel experience of not being the smartest one in the room; (2) when they *are* the smartest one in the room, they should still try not to be jerks
