My letter to the city council.
Hello. I'm a resident in North Cambridge.
Yup, I actually used "Cantabridgian". And apparently, I spelled it wrong. There's no d in it, for some reason.
I urge you to not renew City Manager Pasquale's contract. Instead, look for a city manager that prioritizes transparency.
Pasquale's refusal to explain many of his decisions, particularly his decision to block progress on municipal broadband, harms Cantabridgians' ability to believe that the government of Cambridge represents them. If initiatives and policies can be enacted or killed by an unelected boss who doesn't have to explain anything, then what is the point of the city council? -
Sometimes, the open source community is nice. annoy-node is now up-to-date with upstream Annoy.

Some of the power outlets in our house just went out. Flipping the fuses didn't do anything. One of the outlets was for our fridge.
Then, ten minutes later, things worked again. That was freaky. It would have been a really unpleasant weekend if things hadn't come back. -
I didn't get to working out today, but I did ride a scooter.

I like how looking at the list of Megadeth band members is like looking at movie credits.

The guy says "Unmute!" in video chats after he unmutes himself. I'm going to adopt this practice.

For me, this is an evergreen commit message.

Man, this breeze is super good today. Savoring this weather, knowing we're going to hit jungle steam this weekend again.

It's more work than I expected to balance on a scooter.

35-minute run, 12 pull-ups. Listened to this Talking Politics episode about nativist right-wing domination in Poland and Hungary. It’s sadly a really familiar story.

Whoa, alarming forgetfulness event: I forgot the params for JSON.stringify, which I've used thousands of timtes.

Racial perception is incredibly arbitrary, yet of course, seriously consequential.
The Burmese saw the kala as a race, a lu-myo or “type of person.” Indians, Arabs, and Persians, then Portuguese, Armenians, and Dutch, all arrived to trade or offer their services as mercenaries. All appeared similar to Burmese eyes: bearded men (and they-were almost all men) from

Via Katt, a letter from a teacher at our school about the problems with reopening.
When we consider returning to physical school under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, we must center this question: which benefits of in-person education will be available to us with these restrictions in place? Sadly, I believe that a classroom operating under these protocols will be less effective and more traumatic than the inadequate and painful experience of remote learning.
And then, she explains exactly why.
Schools reopening is a thing we want badly, but if you think about it, at least for younger kids, it's kind of a fake reopening that doesn't accomplish what we imagine it will. -
I had trouble realizing why I was so slow today (and why I put the sugar in the fridge this morning) until Katt pointed out that I was tossing and turning all night. We both had low-quality sleep. I'm just gonna have to crank the AC tonight in case that's the issue.
