Did you know that Kansas City is actually awesome? Listen, no one is more surprised than me, Missouri’s No. 1 hater. But seriously. It’s the best. I’ve only ever been here in the spring or fall so keep that in mind, but actually, no. I don’t care. It still rules.

We love an origin story.
you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

I love marathon day in NYC because there is something incredible about supporting friends running it, seeing other people support their friends and family run it, and also seeing thousands of people loudly supporting total strangers run it too.

Today is Halloween and in honor of that I inadvertently made the best Blair Witch sequel yet by accidentally recording inside my pocket while walking my dogs in the woods. 🧙♀️

Yeah, this is what I wrestle with -- a college freshman today was only nine when Trump first ran for president. They've grown up with him as a baseline, not an aberration.
It's odd for me to realize that my first-year undergraduates are at an age where they don't really remember that there was a form of US politics prior to Donald Trump. For them, Trump is not an aberration from the normal course of political discourse, but just how US politics is done.

I got upgraded to first class today which was pretty neat. The guy next to me had his water bottle (thermos, maybe?) connected to a portable charger. The drink vessel had a three digit digital display that I couldn’t make out. What’s that about?
