I don't know that I'd use the words "Freud" and "psychological literature" in the same sentence.

I've gotten a couple of these postcards! They are really nice.

My votes - Midnight Mass (streaming on Netflix; it starts out slow but the fifth episode is literally the best hour of tv I’ve ever seen) and Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant (the book I am most sad has not been made into a movie).

After This Past Week, I would very much like a list of summer movies/books that are brilliant but not to be taken too seriously.

Is wifehood a term that is actually used in your literature? (Just curious - it sounds odd to my ears but I don’t usually do gender)

I'm sure it will be okay, as long as nothing bad happens that we might want to address through policymaking.

Look, all I want is someone, somewhere who is both willing and able to make policy. Is this too much to ask?

Well, we can get explicit legislative policymaking to preempt local public health policies. So...go team?

I think this is my biggest takeaway from the end of this term. We don't have a functional Congress; the Court is not interested in letting us try to use other mechanisms to substitute for a functional Congress. This is likely to become problematic when we actually really need to make policy.

Okay, yes to all of this, but I also want Star Wars: West Wing. [I also think it would be HYSTERICAL to have a Law & Order:Star Wars just because there has been every other type of L&O. Very straightfaced; produced by Dick Wolf]

I don't usually have broad political conversations because they are outside the scope of the class, but it is really hard to make an argument for the importance of guardrails when "the other side" has been dancing on top of them without repercussions for years.

IMO, this is the biggest difference between my students' political expectations and mine. Much of their political memory is from the Trump Administration, so they assume Biden does not really mean the things he says because he has not unilaterally acted in a way that likely exceeds his authority.

A lot of this discussion has reminded me of encryption debate for reasons I haven't quite been able to put my finger on, and I think this is it.

My dog is approximately 14 years old, and she still acts like she is 7 years old. I have done nothing to deserve this but am still so grateful.

My favorite part of getting old is that I can now look at situations/people and just say to myself - that seems like a lot of work I don't want to do - and then never think about them again.

I'd also be really concerned about collaboration - although I'm not sure of the current state of Linux/LibreOffice regarding that. But if you can't exchange documents with comments in a way that are usable with word users, and can't use zoom, that would not be ideal.

I think that if a technical solution involves users undertaking a new hobby, its not likely to be workable broadly and policy solutions might be appropriate. I've run Linux and loved it! I think other people might love it too! But as its own cool thing, not because they have no good alternatives.

Thanks! I figured, but it will be interesting to see how that changes as the site develops (e.g., how does this change as new features - E2E encryption!!! - are rolled out). It’s helpful to have numbers from before things get interesting. Thanks for responding and all your work on this whole thing!

Do you think pharmacists would be more careful about Scheduled drugs in a way that goes beyond just the regulations they are required to comply with?

Annie Boustead @annieboustead.bsky.social [ View ] May 22, 2024 at 17:52 UTC

If you don't mind me asking, I'm curious how the Schedule would change pharmacist decision-making (independent of the applicable regulations). For example, I know there have been concerns with doctors overcomplying (out of an abundance of concern about legal consequences).
