I really hate this attitude towards house cleaners and other service workers. Believe it or not, they are actual people who understand things like “paying someone else to do a job you don’t want to do” and “taking a shit”

I think that’s a pretty good analogy! One big concern I have is the way it appears to encode/exacerbate our human biases. This is to be expected given it is trained on our biases, but at a time when removing our biases is so important, this seems to be a step backwards.

I’m terrified at the types of changes that could be made to PubMed here in the US.

OK, I figured it out. Cartoon is 1947, song is 1917, so my pick for a current version has Bugs singing “I Got 5 On It”
Dave Provost (@daveprovo.st) reply parent
I wonder how old that song was when the cartoon came out. Like if they made that cartoon today, what song would he sing?

a university is not for generating profit, it provides cultural enrichment via weird little gremlin people who love visigoths or haikus, and very occasionally a scientist who figures out faster than light travel

Oh man, I forgot about potatoes. My wife has a gluten sensitivity and there is wheat in everything. Coffee creamer is the latest crazy one I came across.

Around here it feels like all the best restaurants open in the suburbs, since it’s too expensive to open them downtown.
Dave Provost (@daveprovo.st) reply parent
Oh that’s rough. I think I could more easily go gluten-free or vegan than I could give up tomatoes. And there must be so much casual cross contamination. My sympathies

Whenever a liberal Xer tries to tell me that they are amazed that our generation is so bad, I just ask them to remember who they went to high school with.

One of the worst parts about working in an academic library is that I don't really get to do much readers' advisory. We are getting a "Popular Reading" section this fall, so hopefully that will offer some opportunities!

It genuinely sucked being a Patriots fan towards the end of the Brady era, because winning the SB didn’t feel like an accomplishment, it was just meeting expectations, and anything less was a crushing disappointment.

In Italian, for good luck, you say "in bocca al lupo", which means "in the mouth of the wolf"... so in bocca al lupo, Cait! (the expected response is "crepi il lupo", which means "may the wolf die")

I read something recently that talked about how the hypocrisy was *the point* — they are trying to demonstrate their power by highlighting how their words and actions are not bound by the concepts of fairness or equality

I heard someone the other day (maybe you?) suggest that it is solely because he has a cool/memorable name

Could you put the key literally on the knob that they would touch as they exit the shed? It’s got to be in the way somehow.

For me the way to deal with something like this is to make it so they have to interact with. Like I put a door on our dryer that says “empty lint trap” and you have to lift the door before you turn the dryer on.

Different art form, but I distinctly remember hearing Dave Matthews Band's What Would You Say for the first time while driving in the car and thinking this isn't exactly my thing, but these guys are going to be famous forever.

Severance clears all of these, and I’ll add the first two seasons of For All Mankind as another contender

Luckily I work at a veterinary school, so random blood stains aren’t *that* unusual
Dave Provost (@daveprovo.st) reply parent
I make a mess of myself with a frequency that requires it. One time I had a minor medical procedure in the morning before work, and somehow bled through the bandage, meaning that I walked into the coffee shop with blood all over the back of my shirt.

Cook Out is massively overrated on account of it being the place where high schoolers hang out on a Friday night, so it gets a big nostalgia boost. A slaw dog with Cajun fries is the best they have to offer.
