Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Just in time for NBA Christmas, I'm soft-launching heatcheck.site. Heatcheck tells you if an NBA game was good without spoiling the result.
To do so, I've built the Heat Index, a system that accounts for final score margin, lead changes, and back-and-forth drama.
Would love your feedback!

I admire the Dutch for many reasons, one of which is that they celebrate the New Year with doughnuts. I’ve taken a leaf out of their book, and so Oliebollen, the doughnuts in question, are #RecipeOfTheDay.

This is the type of science I want to believe /s
"A new study has found that eating 50g or more of high-fat cheese a day correlates with a lower risk of developing dementia. That means all cheeses with more than 20 percent fat content, including brie, gouda, cheddar, parmesan, gruyere, and mozzarella." www.sciencealert.com/cheese-linke...

I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...
How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it
I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

One of my goals for 2025 is to do more side projects. And (oops) now it's December.
One project I've had scribbled in my notebooks for years now is to recreate @edhawkins.org' Warming Stripes as a CSS gradient. Here's a walkthrough of how I did it.
