you cannot lead a happy life if you are depending on the timberwolves being good. You must be willing to find the zen of the timberwolves simply happening to you if you are going to survive as a fan of this team

I consider myself very lucky that I get to walk by the Weisman Art Museum every day. It is a beautiful and whimsical building that brings me joy. RIP Frank Gehry.

Q for my more applied-leaning or applied-curious colleagues: are there any concievable modeling scenarios in which we'd see a forcing function along the lines of e^(t^2) or sin(t^2)?

It must be so fun to produce for Danny Brown. You can literally just put samples of mechanical screeching and fighting alleycats over a frenetic, irregular drum pattern and he'll make you sound like a genius rapping over it.

Teaching thing I find useful: if a student stops showing up for class, make the subject line of your email "Is everything OK?" When people are overwhelmed they'll often avoid even opening bad-news emails (cf. me & my bank statements). This way, they know I'm reaching out to help, not chastise.

As a policy nerd, budget is my favorite part of being a Council Member–and oversight of our $1.9 billion city budget is also one of the most important roles of City Council.
I’ll be bringing forward 12 budget amendments that my constituents told me matter most to them.

I just can't get over how cool every aspect of Danny's hyperpop turn has been. Kind of weirdly validating that an artist I latched onto as a teenager has demonstrated himself at every turn to be a good person with real emotional depth and capacity for growth since then. youtu.be/gMOYSPdIBvI?...

I Heart radio has pulled an AI artist from the air and its chief programming officer has started an initiative called “guaranteed human.” He says this also applies to their podcasts. www.billboard.com/pro/iheartra...

the funniest possibel thing that can happen is the wolves somehow pulling together to win a title this year, so by elementary @fiveburger.bsky.social theory, it is the most likely outcome. Knowing this, I am at peace. The "boston celtics" cannot hurt me.
