Okay here’s my mission:
Finish my ENTIRE todo list in the next 6 months.
This means:
- I have to get very clear on what “finished” looks like for each project
- I’m not allowed to take on any new projects I’ve not already committed to (even if it was mentioned)

tbh I don't use Mail or Calendar and think the "apps" direction was a bit of a gaffe, especially considering how different the interfaces and xps feel. Core Notion is stronger w/o 'em. Mail and calendars should've been (could still be!) synced views as demoed in 2022.
The disparate apps will only really have value once they talk, but once they do…💭Let’s hope they make some good progress on this, among all the AI development going on.

Even if AI is "good" (works), I deeply respect the continued work in discernment folks are doing. There's time for it; don't be rushed by Progress. Many think skeptics will regret their skepticism and be "left behind". I think it's okay to be left behind in discovering ethical alignment. No regrets.

I genuinely don't know anything worse than modern-day dancehall music. They really need a different name for it because it cannot compare to the 90s/00s music we called dancehall.

That female rapper (if you can still call her that) coming out as M*G* is the LEAST surprising thing of 2025. Like girl...what WON'T you do for attention at this point?

You know how you can tell these people aren't actually serious about data? Because they never spend enough time focusing on the data itself - its weak points, blind spots, frames of reference, and general quality. Data isn't neutral, and every data scientist can tell when the data is sick.

Merriam quits the high-stakes world of lexicography to teach at a college in Springfield, MA…where Webster just became the head librarian.
She shows him that ‘love’ isn’t that hard to find…if you know where to look it up.
