i just finished watching sorkin's the newsroom for the first time and while i have my quibbles with it, i was more moved than i was annoyed by the show's sanctimonious moments and found it, on the whole, weirdly prescient. i've also never seen the west wing - does it hold up? should i go there next?

hard co-sign from a former psych researcher. saw a lot of my colleagues go into tech ux; one of them could not run an ANOVA in SPSS without help and that has stuck with me whenever i think about who’s designing and running studies for those companies

In honor of Valentine’s Day, @janehu.bsky.social and I talked to β€œLove in a Fucked Up World” author @deanspade.bsky.social about why dating in Seattle seems to suck so much right now and how we can make conflict in our friendships and social movements a little less destructive and more generative:

i’m sure an intrepid reporter will have more details about this soon, but benito made a powerful statement whether or not this was *actually* liam!

would be amazing if they were flown out for this act but part of me hopes liam and his dad are just recovering quietly at home.
