I love watching The Bear but somehow all of season 3 seems dead set on erasing any character development from the last two seasons??

if you hover over an in-line numeric citation in the new Zotero, it automagically shows you what the number is referring to???

ahh this is unbelievably cool (and thanks for sharing)! in your "to watch" list I'll say that I *love* Abbott Elementary, which my partner thinks is so-so but it serves the same purpose to me as Parks and Rec seems to do for others -- a kind of predictable comfort watch

thank you 🥰 I think I watched one episode a loooong time ago and didn't get into it since it was on an airplane or something? I will say, the fact that it was set in West Covina sent me (as someone who grew up reaaaallly close and went there at least once a week).

as someone who bikes to MIT most days of the week, this is absolutely devastating and shakes me to my core. if there are bike advocacy groups in the Camberville / Medford area that you'd recommend, please let me know -- we need much better biking infrastructure.

what a lovely and insightful piece! It says so much of what I've been thinking about re: ~ the algorithm ~ and TikTok algospeak. I'll probably assign it in my intro class this coming semester!

at a symposium rn and it's so clear that each presentation has been practiced multiple times over and the analysis is so sharp! I think this is a credit to each of the students themselves but also there is a raw enthusiasm that makes me so much more excited to do research

curious to hear other folks' experience, but I have by and large found the presentations at grad student symposia to be vastly superior in quality than many conference talks I've seen from senior faculty

this is a really lovely piece that encapsulates so much of what I've been thinking about re: local-first software -- definitely worth a read in terms of outlining the why and how to do that (fair warning, though, that it's fairly long).
