Someday it may be said of me, “He was only ever good at loving people.” And I think that might be enough for me.

pet peeves implies the existence of wild peeves. undomesticated, just… out there. livin life.

Charlie Puth and Joe Burrow should be friends.

@michelleakin This gives me hope.

everyone seeing me post all the food I make should know that as of less than two years ago I never really cooked today I was remembering hiring my friend to cater a nye party for me because I had zero confidence in my ability to host my family remains shocked this is happening

The Dominos guy was delivering pizza in a Corvette, and I don't know what it means. I can't stop thinking about it.

@visakanv You’ve been trying to self-diagnose this one for some time, and this one feels promising - congrats/sorry

in retrospect one of the dumbest things i've done in the past 4 years is sit around writing drafts for substack while spending hardly any time actually reading other people's. i'm now thinking if i spent 95% of the time reading instead i'd have done better with 5% left to write

NBC doesn’t deserve the Olympics. This *could* be a such a cool two week part of American culture & it just ain’t.

@BrandonLuuMD This is one of those studies where in 10 years we look back and go, “Wow all the evidence was right there but we were just zoomed in too far.” Like we zoomed too early & by the time we gained clarity we just tried to make sense of what was in front of us. See the bigger pattern.

Depression has been transferred via gut microbiota Fecal transplants from 34 depressed patients to rats induced: - Anhedonia (reduced sucrose preference) - Anxiety behaviors - Altered tryptophan metabolism

@visakanv @joetforhire Same. In fact, I genuinely thought you were baiting with a fake example. But then the like-comment ratio didn’t fit, so I re-opened myself to the possibilities.

@joetforhire I thought “gfy” meant “good for you”

for a very long time i thought "jfc" meant "just for clarity" and would use it in my work slack all the time

Water bottles are an excellent example of how much “user experience” can move the needle. Owala is having its moment because they took what made Stanley great (slightly bigger inside diameter of the straw) and made it better (comfortable sucking position, less flow resistance).

If there’s one thing I have in common with Epstein, it’s that a third of my emails are unopened “Quora Digests”

Jack Antanoff being good friends with Mike Birbiglia is funnier than Mike Birbiglia

@davetrott I figure you’re not watching the Grammys… but if you are… I’m curious your take on these ads.

Are millennials still the most important thing in the advertising universe or did I miss something?

Wait no it was Mastercard

Holy shit Volvo lol

That Grammy performance was crazy

Holy shit Justin Bieber lol

@whartonknows @ChicagoBooth @R_Thaler @alexolegimas @BehaviorChange @Wharton @angeladuckw @katy_milkman That looks like a fun room to run a “winners curse” bidding game in, with items desirable enough to dampen the inhibition that comes with knowledge.

In a competitive bidding war, should you really play to win? @ChicagoBooth's @R_Thaler & @AlexolegImas explained the “winner’s curse,” the tendency for winning bidders to overpay, at a @BehaviorChange event w/ @Wharton's @AngelaDuckw & @Katy_Milkman. 📝: whr.tn/4qCRuHe
