In 2023, Chomsky told WSJ about his relationship with Epstein: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”
Epstein: you are of course welcome to use apt in new york with your new leisure time, or visit new Mexico again

Amusingly, Gatorade has operated an actual institute with real PhD's for 30 years studying the effects of Gatorade (or isotonic beverages as they call them) on athletes. Gets published in real journals too.

Having baked head-on shrimp for my work lunch today. Twist the head off, suck the goo, then eat the rest with the shell on. It's tastier than it sounds, as long as you can get over their buglike appearance.

An incredibly weird choice of dates for Marc. I guess he wanted to include Fitzgerald and Twain but not Hawthorne? But what's the 1930 date cutting off, was Steinbeck too Beta?
His time period for alpha lit also includes Woolf, lol.

As I was on my bike today I laughed at a short man getting out of an enormous truck and then he got very angry with me. It inspired this

A friend gave me the idea to go somewhere overseas for my Christmas break. So I'm looking at places that don't celebrate Christmas near me
Wow, only $1,500 to fly to Casablanca or Cairo! I also considered St. Petersburg but it's weirdly expensive for some reason.

Saw a free production of Two Gentlemen of Verona in the backyard of a coffeeshop. It was fun.
I was a bit confused because after Julia says she'll go in drag as a disguise, the same actress played one of the bandits in drag. So I thought that was supposed to be Julia but nope, just the same actress

I should have noticed this sooner but this show is basically just Breaking Bad but a comedy. His underworld connection slash fixer is even also named Mike.

This is the abstract of "Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor in Feminist Studies," from the forthcoming November 2025 issue of SEXUALITY & CULTURE.
You will hate this abstract more and more as every word passes through your brain. Trust me: the article is worse.

Read a book of Stephen Graham Jones short stories. In the afterward section he said he wrote a few of them in one sitting which is wild. They were 10x better than any flash fiction I'd read before.

Inordinately pleased with myself for winning the costume contest at the bike ride. Granted, it was a small field, but I won a hefty amount of stuff whose cash value almost equals the money I spent on the ensemble.

I bought a 3lb bag of garlic to have enough bulbs to make a garlic wreath as part of my Halloween costume this year.
My plan is to give away the bulbs at the end of the party I'm going to on Friday because, I may be Italian, but I cannot eat 20+ bulbs of garlic before they start sprouting.

Watching a Russian 2022 folk horror feminist (?) movie and the ending is very confusing. At the end a woman's abusive husband saves her from the evil cult but he's attacked by a woman spirit (?) and as he's dying a flashback reveals his mom beat him? So it was women's fault all along?

Out of curiosity I checked and yes, Rob has worked with Marlo Thomas whose famously very associated with St. Jude Children's hospital. She has an uncredited cameo in Deuce Bigolo 2, which Rob starred in and wrote.
