Silicon Valley is banging on about “taste”
But I think the unpopularity of my dried flowers provides an important qualification
It’s not just taste, but taste in a matter that anyone else actually cares about,

I told my colleagues that I was going to spend my evening by arranging dried flower and would live stream it. Their response? No one has ever laughed harder. 😳

My friend and coauthor, sociologist George Farkas, passed away last night of brain cancer. I remember our weekly meetings while we wrote Households, Employment, and Gender. We'd jog then work for hours. He taught me fixed effects. RIP my friend.

@XfinitySupport your customer support is beyond awful. Wait for live agent. Who cannot understand or fix simple problem. Paying for service but not being sent modern is totally unacceptable

@DoorDash since when is leaving a pizza on the stoop of a big apartment building instead of calling, as instructed, is not acceptable service! Freezing cold pizza in chicago is not worth having. No one even bothered to steal it!

@SouthwestAir @djbern_ Quite sure customer preference not driving these changes. What percentage say, charge me for checking my bags. When you copy every other airline expect customers to go to other airlines who used to be loyal

Hi, and thanks for reaching out to us. We're evolving to meet changing Customer preferences, & our research clearly indicates a desire for assigned seating. Still, we know assigned seating is not preferable for every Customer. We hope you’ll give us an opportunity to welcome you onboard. - Zee

Today is the last day of open seating on @SouthwestAir
Losing that, and 2 free checked bags, makes SW no longer my first choice as there’s no clear advantage between their airlines and others :/

Every Democratic member of Congress should be on a plane to Minneapolis right now to join the people protesting in the streets. Federal elected officials should physically place themselves between the public and these dangerous thugs sent to terrorize this American city.
