Sociologist primarily interested in organizations. Fan of archives and cities. American in London. Working on the applied side. It’s all garbage cans.
Have found a nice routine of early mornings farting around. Followed by a few hours of writing. An episode or two of a documentary box set (presently Ken Burns’ “The Civil War”). A bit more writing. Dinner, reading, and bed.

I need a teaching post just so I can roll out TikTok’s like this! The best thing I’ve seen on how businesses create “demand” (here for AI).
Gas stations pivot to maintain relevance in the electric transition. (These LinkedIn posts write themselves)

A headline sure to splash across the next financial crisis documentary.

Academic beef playing out on LinkedIn is my new fav genre. Double points for the sketch on an HBS notepad. Chefs kiss. No notes.
Look what’s arrived, @beenwrekt.bsky.social! Managing a few pages here and there between focused bout of family-visit eating. Really enjoying it!
Spending the week with my dad and think about this from @theonion.com every time we go out.
Knowing that this woman is highly unlikely to even know what a meme is, even less the one she’s become, makes the schadenfreude sweeter. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Democrats Abroad are great. And if you’re a displaced American like me, they’re a great avenue for organizing.
