    Looks like I picked it up on the way out of Phnom Penh. The required Day 5 test in Thailand caught it, and I’m in mandatory ten-day hotel quarantine. Everyone’s been incredibly nice and helpful throughout. 😉

    Well, turns out you can only hide from Covid for so long (two years isn’t too bad a run!) Sore throat, heavy congestion, chills, and that deep bone ache - but the worst seems behind me now. Very grateful for science and effective vaccines! 💉

    I do it every time I buy in bulk. Pretty sure everyone with a Costco membership knows how that works.

    The amount of crowdspilling military defense tactics on behalf of Ukrainian defenders on this website feels a level beyond anything we’ve seen here in the past. Lateral protest movement info sharing, absolutely. West Point lecturers giving insurgency pointers? That’s fresh.

    Taking stock from our conversation at last year (+ @everydaytaz ) -- still not on board with decentralization as a normative good, still excited about it as a means to accountable participation, and still an optimist!

    I’m pretty sure that the last ten years career-wise have been a standoff between my instinct to not want to live precariously and die miserably and what I’d otherwise actually do with my life.

    i think sometimes older people assume that younger people haven't even contemplated getting old, but from my un-scientific sample of people in my age group: YES, WE HAVE CONTEMPLATED IT VERY MUCH

    Talking to people in SF this week has been like speaking from the future to your past selves. Enjoy those halcyon booster days.

    A "hit" would imply that people enjoyed it, vs mocked it relentlessly from a prone position on the floor in a partial tryptophan coma.

    📈Red Notice is said to rival Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame in viewership, accounting for 277.9m hours viewed across 93 territories. "Netflix has in the past been criticised for the opacity of its reporting on viewing numbers. But either way it's is an indisputable hit"
