The pandemic PPE shortages are fresh enough in my memory that it seems unthinkable that a face mask factory could be abandoned (and shortsighted to be auctioning off its equipment). 🧪🦠

Oh gosh, thanks Siavash - thanks for reading it - I love listening to The Moth and I highly doubt my story is Moth-worthy but I'll look into it. I sure appreciate the compliment!

Beautiful writing that resonated with my own experience as a fan. Thank you for sharing it!

Berry, Buck, Mills and Stipe playing together as R.E.M. tonight at the Songwriters Hall of Fame(!!) induction ceremony merits a newsletter about fandom, growing with our favorite music and (of course) the lovely "Losing My Religion" performance. anniezaleski.substack.com/p/oh-life-it...

In 2017 I investigated the fake "California South University" which was created to support predatory journals. I only found out because they stole the history of the (real) University of Alberta. Today they could use ChatGPT to generate a unique fake history in seconds. @dereklowe.bsky.social 🧪

On a related note, after a quarter century of using LabVIEW, even in other programming languages my brain still "sees" different data types as different colors (ints are blue, floats are orange, strings are pink...)

Wow! That's fantastic! I got to see Dar Williams perform live once, as part of the "folk supergroup" Cry Cry Cry (with Richard Shindell and Lucy Kaplansky) at a church in Berkeley, and damn that was a fantastic show. Would love to hear your daughter's band cover anything by those three!

Definitely - situations where I don't want to come across as "highfalutin," as we'd say. That being said, I wholeheartedly embrace "y'all" and use it constantly. It's the plural pronoun that English desperately needs and is (along with barbecue and sweet tea) one of the South's greatest inventions.

I think I did something similar when I moved out of the South - maybe subconsciously sensing that the Southern accent generally doesn't do you any favors outside of the South, so I started sounding more generic (though I find I still "code switch" back to Southern when visiting Tennessee).
