They are always a decade away from viable fusion reactors *but*...the number of private firms involved in fusion technology does speak to the fact that they're getting closer: ow.ly/HRiA50GW8yq ...they're probably, like, a decade away.

Access to information doesn't seem like a bad thing, but overestimating your own memory/intelligence leads to entrenched viewpoints: ow.ly/ynlg50H9p9o

Any list of "bests" is going to be one person's opinion. These seem like some cool games, mostly if you enjoy watching movies: ow.ly/VYFM50HaXHo

A "gift" for y'all -- no one asked for it, no one wanted it, and yet here 'tis. A pandemic project of very reasonable proportions. I'll say this: I had fun making it! youtu.be/8wgRqY27n-4

I embraced slow productivity years ago! (Har de har)...but seriously, time lost due to anxiety and a crushing sense of obligations unmet reduces time spent actually getting things off your to-do list. This is sensible: ow.ly/wOxF50Hqn48

An argument for moral ambiguity (aka some sense of realism) in political narratives: ow.ly/8iJx50Hqw4L. I think the problem is that a simple "good v. evil" narrative is more compelling to certain audiences...and easier to spew from a talking head.

I love mathematical theory because there have been numerous open problems -- so easily stated they can be understood by the lay person -- that end up requiring multi-hundred page proofs: ow.ly/WSBR50HI3Jr

I'm not *this* introverted, but in the summer I would go out for a bike ride at 2am and I enjoyed the absolute quiet. There is a joy in seeing the city in a different way: ow.ly/xKqh50I5cFj

Intuitively we know this is true: ow.ly/lj2Y50Ialmu. On the show "Quantum Leap" it always took a few seconds before the glowing nimbus of light coalesced into Dr. Sam Beckett, and then a bit more time before he said, "Oh boy."

GO train announcement as we enter Union: "Do not cross the tracks, it's dangerous and illegal. (pause) It is super fun though. But don't do it. But if you do, I get it, cause it's awesome. But please...don't. (pause) But it is fun."
