I tried to reread The Andromeda Strain this week (for the record, loved it in high school) and cannot get over a man who was married FIVE TIMES thinking up the Odd Man Hypothesis.
The whole book hits different as an adult married woman with a biology degree. I DNFed it.

If schools were actually preparing kids for white-collar work they wouldn't be phone-free, you'd have to have your phone on your desk all day for the authenticator apps

I've been considering subscribing to WIRED for a while now instead of just reading it from the library. This image sealed the deal.
Anyone know what "wellness" means anymore? From TikTok hacks to those in key US government roles using their authority to wreak havoc on the lives of Americans, WIRED decided, ye, let's dive in.

I didn't like any of the keyboards or build your own options at Micro Center so I ordered individual components myself. Now I get to wait a week or two to see if I am too stupid to build my own keyboard. Can't wait.

Good news: I had a great pole class today. Got my jasmine back on my left side, drilled inverts, A+ conditioning all around.
Bad news: Now I can't sleep because it was a "late" class and I am learning that I am not over my exercise induced insomnia, the sauna at the gym just counteracts it.

I fell off the podcast wagon when I stopped commuting but IT TURNS OUT my walk to my new gym, which I am obsessed with, is roughly the length of a @99pi.org episode. Gonna get so swole and learn so much about flags.

Half assed gluten information for events is actually worse than nothing. I'm trying to figure out what I can eat at Boston Calling this weekend and just keep being told that it's in the app. What is in the app is an incomplete list of vendors that say they have at least one gluten free option.
