There is some pretty calm on street riding to get to the finished stretch of the MBT that runs from Piney Branch and Takoma Ave to Fenton near Montgomery College. I’m a few blocks past that off of Sligo Ave.

I feel a little left out (kidding!). Hope to join after Thanksgiving. :) And my backyard is large and ready (in Silver Spring) and only a couple of blocks from the northern part of the MBT.

Hard to image Summers actually feels shame but he certainly should. Good riddance.

No comedy either.

I don’t have regretsβ€”I wasn’t that interested in academia. I’m a social scientist and wanted to do policy work. I’m lucky because I’ve mostly been able to do that. My department was clearly disappointed in me. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

PS both of my advisors were women so my experience was about the power of the advisor role, not other kinds of misconduct.

I was lucky I was able to change advisors somewhat late in my PhD program and that made all the difference (I was able to finish). I still went into β€œindustry” but that was likely regardless.

The only thing I don’t like about this post is that I didn’t write it.

It’s exactly how Robert Moses operated. Including leveraging funds from wealthy donors!

The French restaurant across the alley from me lost my business because they threw buckets of soapy water into the alleyβ€”which created ice floes in the winter and slippery hazards otherwise. They eventually closed.

Sorry! Mariners really want this and so do the fans. The HR jacket is pretty sweet.

Fascinating! I didn’t know that.

I promise no one is going to make you eat it. And no Jews are forcing it on anyone.

The oddest of all the odd ducks I knew in grad school.

I did know this. See also corned beef and cabbage, which the Irish learned from Jews in NY and exported back to Ireland. A lovely collaboration!

I cannot believe this game. But at least I got to see the Salmon Run. Let’s get this Ms!

I love everything about this movie. Captures all the post-war demographic changes and war trauma through small scale story telling.

Either a willful misreading or inability to comprehend a slightly nuanced argument.

Not only has the HUD website lost its mind, they also canceled all three research contracts my firm bid on recently.

The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

How is this legal? How is this ok? First thing you see when you go to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) website.

I hear you. Maybe we should give ourselves a daily despair moment (5min?) and then focus on the other stuff the rest of the time. Have no idea if this would help!

It’s ridiculously hard especially as they seem to be amping up for a round of blacklisting. But I keep reminding myself that trump and most of his policies are incredibly unpopular. The current regime cannot survive indefinitely.

Yes Hammett was a terser and tighter writer. The Thin Man is a pure delight and the film version is also nearly perfect. Since Humphrey Bogart played both Spade and Marlow the confusion is understandable!
