Me reading the Economist article as it dunks on Acemoglu's malaria paper

Finally felled the banana plant so we can hand the pot over to its clone. Behold @awkwardresearcher.bsky.social researcher's jury-rigged stem drying stand. Hashtag women in STEM.

Looks good tastes great absolutely not worth the effort

I'm going to piss off everyone involved but BEHOLD my mexican biryani going in to dum

This meter is a bit too pleased to see @awkwardresearcher.bsky.social

@awkwardresearcher.bsky.social's tuberoses are starting to bloom!

Nice of the NYT to warn us that a new Douthat article is coming

Same ones! I read so many abridged classics because the pictures lured me in. I was surprised later to learn about Wells' politics, given that he turned the working class into literal CHUDs. Although they do control the machines so maybe attempting a clean 1:1 mapping is pointless.

Folks, we did it. Haters (me) said we couldn't do it but we did. Just need to sand and oil the things but here are @awkwardresearcher.bsky.social and my chairs

How far off am I?

Three more #woodworking open studio sessions left and the chair we're making is finally starting to look chair-shaped (with @awkwardresearcher.bsky.social)

Behold, the fruits of @awkwardresearcher.bsky.social's labor. Tastes like Juicy Fruit gum and vanilla, but in a good way.

See ya, Denver. Sorry about the blue horse smashing your airport

The importance of a good shop vac

Took a long walk up the Lakeshore trail with @awkwardresearcher.bsky.social and found a bunch of cool art. Here's the ones I remembered to photograph.

Jugnuma is a lush, warm hug of a movie that fully draws you into its magical realist world. A bit slow, but extremely worth your time.

Fantastic. Definitely an improvement.

The carpet in our elevator is RF enabled. We live in the future.

New aural experience unlocked. Cannot recommend. [[WARNING: ANNOYING]]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SILSILA HAS A PRISON RAPE JOKE IN IT??!

Dwagon

Naan radioactive ☢️

Needed to get this out of my head

#IndiaSky did everyone but me know that the Meena show was made in Bangladesh and not India??

Best shot on potato phone from today's Chicago aurora trip with @awkwardresearcher.bsky.social: less bright, cloudier skies, still visibly otherworldly

BA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA (WITH @awkwardresearcher.bsky.social)

After years of half-hearted attempts, Wife and I finally managed to see the aurora live in Chicago thanks to @drhazzard.bsky.social and @puppetkon46.bsky.social. They have the good photos. I have this potato shot. Unlike 90% of the aurora photos you'll see, this was more impressive in person.

The best version of sabudana has landed on my plate. Khichdi stans back off
