I wrote that in my personal statement for promotion. My mentor, not a medical or science librarian, caught it and asked if it was a typo or a type of nutritional study.

I’m guessing it’s a wordplay on the expression β€˜peaches and cream’

I think the embrace of getting machines to do people’s thinking and the widespread acceptance of authoritarians all over the world who take away people’s ability to make choices about their lives are two symptoms of the same thing.
I’m not sure what that thing is yet but it feels real.

I doubt anyone was a good writer when they were beginners.
There will be no more beginners in a few years.

Not acknowledging the problem and being the problem are very closely related

And I’m joking. A letter grade is still an arbitrary quantification of a subjective opinion on art.

You can’t quantify art, so I multiply by 100 and convert to a letter grade. 76 is a C.

That Healy drenched over the top Looks Like Rain in Columbia definitely fit the weather (and gave me a false impression of what that song was like)

Halloween was my first show, so my first live Grateful Dead music was the Space opener.

He’s got no moral standing to push back on fascism/authoritarianism with that thing, and that’s the most important issue today.

It’s probably not much more than β€œCan I eat it? Can it eat me?” but it’s in fly thought.

We barely understand what we think. We certainly don’t understand what really goes on in another primate’s mind. Assuming we could understand what a fly’s thoughts might be like, no matter how simplistic they might be, is some seriously hubristic anthropomorphism.

At the end we we were all clamoring for more music. Ira said β€œYou all are going to get us in so much trouble with the union, but maybe we could get away with an instrumental” which they proceeded to improvise.
