I am a generalist, currently employed as a front-leaning, ¾-stack engineer at Fastly. I have a double major in political science and film theory, aka the Oliver Stone. I live in Denver. I can smell the onions and the mustard.
Hard to tell for sure, but definitely 10s of thousands of protestors in downtown Denver today.

It might be a brain injury or [gestures around]. It’s actually been a better-than-usual week for me. If I were more diligent, I would go full quantified-self and try to find correlations between good and bad Bee weeks.

I wonder if there is a way to quantify the impact of nostalgia on Letterboxd scores? Specifically, I’m trying to understand the shift in scores for Star Wars movies shared in this Reddit post.

Maybe a bunch of millennials joined Letterboxd between 2021 and 2023? www.reddit.com/r/Letterboxd...

I went down a rabbit hole figuring out whether Robert H. Lurie (namesake of the children’s hospital in Chicago) is related to Jeffrey Lurie (owner of the Eagles). I gave up for a variety of reasons, but I think I found my style icon in Robert H Lurie?

I am trying to see the Brutalist in IMAX and looking at seats for a 10:15am showing on Sunday. It looks like I’ll be joined by 4 fellow movie nerds and 2 completists who have anxieties about fires in theaters.

Trying a Vietnamese spot near us called Golden Banh Mi and it’s quite good! This is a “Pho-Rench Dip”, which is like a French dip fusion sandwich. It absolutely slaps.
