Come on New York

Prove to the world that you are as cool as you incessantly claim you are

Or just admit you're an overpriced version of Jersey City

different editors have different styles but trust me when I say this is one thing we all agree on!! those edits on page 1 may change once the editor gets to page 3—leave the draft alone until it comes back to you

take a break! watch some TV, make a meal, call a friend, touch seaweed, SOMETHING ELSE

writers— please please PLEASE do not resolve your editor’s notes in the Google Doc until they tell you it is your turn to review and address!! I promise you they will tell you when it’s your move

A Fond Farewell To Polygon, From The People Who Worked There - Aftermath "It was a good website. I doubt I'll ever find a place like it for the rest of my career"

“Websites are their people; laying off the majority of a site’s staff is akin to molting skin and bones – and keeping only a name. So while Polygon persists, we still feel like now is an appropriate time to give former staff a chance to eulogize what was.” Read: aftermath.site/polygon-vox-...

Ballet dancers with Boston Ballet recreating the viral finger-hold interview moment from the Wicked press tour, costumed as Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked.

Need everyone to know that for a final performance of Boston Ballet's Nutcracker, they costumed the party scene dolls as Elphaba and Glinda and even included the viral finger-hold moment. (Screenshot because it won't show the preview, but watch the IG video! Link: www.instagram.com/reel/DEP8Rsx... )

Onions

I want to talk about how I’m excited to teach parallelization in my Statistical Computing course, but I think most of my followers are here because of Onions. So here he is.
