notwithstanding, at the very first or a few understanding(s) of a model or theory being wrong, it should be given a cyanide pill, told to fk off forever, bc once it’s wrong once or a few times, it will always be wrong, _provide only losses and will be useless and outdated forever_. #bookchapterideas

“don’t give someone with too much free time something to do” - one of my undergrad research advisors to me. corollary: sometimes it’s a little fun, so why not … bc a sht talking keyboard warrior, from the republic of keyboard-istan, is always just going to be a keyboard warrior. what can you do. 😂

i love that patrick ta names his makeup products with interesting names, like gold eyeshadow i have from last yr named “do you know who i am?” yeah exactly, do you know me? no you don’t. then there’s a coral blush shade named “do we know her?” no, we don’t know this person and we don’t care. #makeup

was thinking earlier today if christopher walken is ever in the sopranos, he’d be perfect. after doing an internet quick deep dive, he was apparently offered a role but declined, which is actually just too bad. #sopranos

one of my fav purchases this yr is the “benq screenbar halo LED monitor light bar.” there are a few youtube reviews about it that could be overly critical, i dunno why it’s just a lamp, but def a requirement for my home office set up. once it’s on, i am working. #homeoffice #programming

Is dark chocolate good for you?
"Sadly for chocoholics, the health claims for dark chocolate come from wishful thinking and sly marketing, not the findings of science."

my hand made & made from scratch, pecan mammoul cookies (dec 2023) #baking #foodie #food #photography #cookies — like one of the best things i’ve ever made 😇 they’re usually filled with dates, walnuts or pistachios but i chopped up some pecans and used those, turned out pretty good 😌
