Alex WildGood morning, University of Texas insect collection. I have the best job in the world.
Heather Havrilesky"Loyalty is perhaps best expressed in empty microgestures, bubbles of nothing, inside the volatile microclimate of family life and also inside the microcosm of friendship. 'Tell me every pointless detail,' you say to your kid or your spouse or your true friend. 'Let’s do something absolutely worthless together,' you murmur over a drink that ideally has froth on top of it."
I wrote about Elon Musk and how we all deserve a gaggle of sycophants to get us through the day.

#books — last night I finished reading:
Lydia Millet, A Children's Bible (2020)
It seems straightforward at first: some old friends summering with their kids, mostly teens, at a rented lakeside cottage. The protagonist is one of the teenagers, who all have varying levels of contempt for the parents. Things get interesting/apocalyptic when a cataclysmic storm hits. The tone of the novel is generally light and funny but also important, with touches of magical realism toward the end. Enjoyed.
SarahI know some people making the #TwitterMigration may be missing the quote tweet option, but @Gargron explained the reasoning behind not having it quite well. I was just thinking about this because I saw someone on the other site tweet a very bad take and he got QTed, which led to some piling on. If he hadn’t been QTed, many wouldn’t have seen it. Here I find it a bit easier to just pass that stuff by or not see it at all. Definitely a less reflexive anger-inducing experience
