I’m teaching a 2-week course with very heavy, depressing content.
I have requested each speaker pick a walk-on song to add some levity. They’re doing a bang-up job.
“Look. I need to ask you. We got a complaint. Did you call someone stupid?”
“No, I *asked* someone if they *were* stupid.”

Actually, @visitONroute, can I tell you just how INCONVENIENT this is? If I don’t have a tampon in my purse, it’s highly likely it’s because I have only discovered I NEED a tampon while I’m in the bathroom. Streamline the process.
Many moons ago, I had a “thing” with a guy who was in a band. I still listen to his band’s music, especially in fall. I feel like that’s a testament to the quality of the music: if a scorned ex-lover still enjoys listening to it, that’s a quality album.
The one lesson from the bible that I always come back to is serve the good wine first, and then the cheap stuff once your guests are drunk.
Do you want to be told to eat a bag of dicks every day? Do you want people to yell at you that they pay your salary? Do you want to stand in four lanes of oncoming traffic and pray that your whistle stops the cars? Consider a career, or volunteer position in law-enforcement!
Pretty fucked up that I must add America to my list of “Countries I won’t visit because they condone public execution“ list.

We have Love Island. We have Survivor. We have The Bachelor.
Now please make a show where you put a billionaire CEO in a regular apartment, give them their lowest-paid employee’s paycheck, and tell them it has to last 30 days.
I’d watch every episode.
One of the wisest “workplace rules” I ever heard was from a boss who said if an email required more than 2 scrolls of his BlackBerry, he wouldn’t finish reading it. If you’re getting into your third paragraph, pick up the damn phone instead.
“Hey, do we have an SME in SA in LTC?”
“That’s one too many acronyms before noon.”

Y'all.
I was included in an email thread with one of the leading Canadian researchers within the hate/extremism field. This is one of the coolest days of my life.
Hearing someone say “Scar-bor-rough” is the biggest indicator they’ve never been to Scarborough. It’s pronounced “Scar-bro” guys. Don’t be weird.

135 miles / 217 km. Lessons learned:
Cold udon slaps at mile 80.
Downhill hurts way more than uphill.
Just fucking keep going, and you'll figure it out as you go. Probably several times.
Great read from @GNET_research on how AI needs to be examined as both an environment and instrument when it comes to radicalization prevention:
