I heard on the radio that a couple nights ago someone presented with mercury poisoning at MGH. Probably the same person. I don’t even know what the state of treatment for Dimethly Mercury is these days, but the outlook can’t be good.

It seems like there was a dimethal mercury incident on the MIT campus with one student directly exposed. A terrible tragedy and a terrible way to go.

We are going to post water for coffee as an audio and ebook soon. I am fielding comment on the platform and pricing structure to do so. What platform do you listen to books on? What platform do you read ebooks on? More discourse occurring on instagram. instagram.com/p/Da0DWT-C40y/…

Replying to @TheCousinSal
@TheCousinSal the money bet this World Cup has been both teams to score (typically around even odds) parlayed with a spread/moneyline/draw

In particular, the both teams to score, underdog +1.5 usually is paying between even odds and +250. And it’s hit in essentially every game

Reviewing papers for @ElsevierConnect is the most irritating review task. It feels like every journal has a different username. no way I can remember the username let alone password that corresponds to it. If you wonder why I am always late with the reviews… that’s why.

If you make 10 random moves per second, it would take you an average of 137 billion years to accidentally solve a rubiks cube. That is roughly 10 times longer than the age of our entire universe.

Just finished stranger things. Decided it was a show that deserved 1.5X speed. Much much better when every episode is 50% shorter. Also, really disappointed in this (hopefully final, ever) season. Very bad writing in parts.

In typeface news…. Might this be one of the few things I agree with Rubio on? Just about every font, but Times in particular, is better than Calibri. nytimes.com/2025/12/09/us/po…

At State Dept., a Typeface Falls Victim in the War Against Woke

Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the Biden-era move to the sans serif typeface “wasteful,” casting the return to Times New Roman as part of a push to stamp out diversity efforts.

We are in a dark time. Not because of the king imagery, really, but because the White House and our president are posting stuff like this at all. What a joke. It’s an embarrassment but I think those in power are too deep to see how absurd this is.
