A second shot at a PhD
I have an unexpected and exciting professional news to share
o.simardcasanova.net
Despite having completed 90% of the manuscript, I was never able to defend my PhD
It's definitely unexpected, but I'm thrilled to announce that I have restarted working on a PhD
You can read about what happened and my plans on my newsletter: o.simardcasanova.net/p/8e29c3...

Je regarde les trajets en train entre Nancy et Dijon
2h30 en TER ou Intercités
Puis je vois un TGV direct – qui met une heure *de plus* que les trains classiques
La raison ? Il fait un détour monstrueux par l’Alsace et la Franche-Comté 🤷🏻♂️

Very cool idea!
Parliamentary/ House / Senate issues could be posted in the same manner as @smokesignal.events
Elected members could have their vote placed on record as Yes, No, Present, Absent.
The platform hosting the votes could attest to the account belonging to the elected member, and attest each vote too.

On net I like Bluesky, but the shift really lost grad students (far fewer active here vs. during peak EconTwitter). With job market season, it’s been kinda nice seeing familiar faces who were in the Covid grad school trenches w me popping up again recently

Chatted with an OG Internet guy at the @atproto.boston meetup today.
Asked him about the last time he saw so much community excitement and engagement for a protocol.
He said http and html.
