No run today, but I did spend pretty much the whole thing on my feet (and I ran the Rocky steps twice at the end), and I'm feeling all right.
So hopefully we'll be good to go for this marathon.

The back is definitely way better today. Figured I'd test it on the elliptical before on the run. Went well—hopefully it was just random back pain that goes away all by itself?

I'm not saying AI isn't the future but it is notable that the biggest promoters are weird, cultish trolls and zealots who sound EXACTLY like NFT evangelists from a few years ago. Again I'm not saying it's snake oil, I'm saying they have lots of snake oil salesmen in their ranks.

We’re either a nation of laws or we’re not. And if you don’t believe we’re a nation of laws then you hate everything this country is supposed to stand for. Period. You can use the excuse that you’re just greedy or just racist or just stupid. But the truth is that you hate what the American ideal is.

In @the74.bsky.social I argue that we can't accept current academic outcomes as the "new normal" and that if I'd "been told in 2020 that children would still be scuffling to this extent by the middle of the decade," I "would have been shocked and disappointed."

Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

Some easy time on the elliptical. It's less that I'm tired and sore after yesterday's effort (though I am) and more that I got the worst chafing of my life from my vest yesterday.

They can’t do almost any part of their agenda (which is hideous btw, but setting that aside) without passing laws. For the most part those laws are impossible to pass. And so they’re just causing havoc by executive order and hoping the courts let them. That’s it, over and over, rinse and repeat.

No running yesterday because of ice and snow and canceled kids' school. No running today because I've really structured my week around trying to get all life admin done on Fridays.
Feeling frustrated with my inconsistency lately. But tomorrow is a 20-miler and all will be right with the world!
