The famous moment on the Johnny Carson show where OLIVER REED is outrageously sexist, so SHELLEY WINTERS pours a glass of water over his head.

With Google I/O going on and OpenAI's io announcement, I'm on here to see if......

I'm the comic relief that my therapist didn't ask for.

You know what has never let me down? Sitting at a bench in a park next to a fountain and trying to have a conversation.

Makes me a tiny bit happy each time this track by @oaffmusic comes up on my listens... like samosa and chai on a rainy day.

I feel seen.

I read 'Bossypants' and 'Yes please' to balance out Lean In and I still feel for the trope :/

The hardest part about going through IVF is the letting go part. My entire life has been defined by grit, hard work, and resilience. Someone like me statistically should not be where I am today without defying the odds. Born to a rural farmer's boy in China, went to a non-target school, and worked my way up from customer service in tech. But with IVF I can't work harder, push myself, or optimize my body more in this process. My entire conditioning is working against me.

I spent my 20s working at elite institutions, trying to act like a man. Pixie hair cut and androgynous clothing. I listened to Sheryl Sandberg and drank the Lean In Kool-Aid thinking I would have more time and deferred my personal life and family planning for my career.

Now in my 30s I'm feeling so much grief for believing I could have it all. I know each cycle and every body is different. The journey is not over...but man, we were so lied to by the Girlboss and Lean In era.

Here to say May the 4th be with you. And while the day has Star Wars' connotations - give yourself permission to watch any movie that you find entertaining!

I plan to watch this #TeluguClassic https://t.co/ize0YNvWuj

Or they are not clients. Which makes this one hell of a way to make new friends as an adult!

There's this lady in my building who is one of the very few people at my gym who looks like she knows what she is doing. Like crushes it on the smith machine AND does nice mobility and recovery exercises.

Anyway, lately she has been coming in with a friend to the gym...

[Mydhili Bayyapunedi @Myd]

So now I'm curious if they are her friends or clients..

In either case, I love the hustle. She is utilizing the community gym to run a business( no upfront investment needed)? Respect!

The correct answer to the poll on which of the 4 routes, that India's 100+ (or so) unicorns took to start up.

The poll thought 'Opportunistic' route was the most common route, but it is actually the least common. The most common route is Personal Experience.

More details on the four routes, as well as backups to this chart in the article linked to in the accompanying tweet.

I'll be presenting tomorrow at the joint Harvard-MIT Development seminar (2:30 p.m.- 4 p.m.).

Friends working on econ or edu in Boston/Cambridge, come over to say hi if you've got nothing else on!

Funny you say that @duolingo , I used to do radio! 😄

My brain is obsessed with pointless problems when it could be spending time thinking about _and solving_ serious-serious problems 🙃

Focus on effort, not outcomes. It’s insane to tie your wellbeing to things outside of your control, Marcus Aurelius said. If you did your best, if you gave it your all, if you acted with your best judgment—that's a win…regardless of whether it’s a good or bad outcome.
