I think about evolution & behavior, humans in organizations, and applying science in the real world. | Keep moving and get out of the way.

@clppng I love that you can hang out in the back of the crowd during your support acts 🫶🏼

@tapairportugal At this point, I would honestly be surprised if you actually had any staff handling delayed luggage tracing. More than four days, and absolutely nobody has said a word. Either they don’t exist, or they’re awfully incompetent.

@tapairportugal Our bags didn’t make it on a short connection from LPA via LIS to IAD. Ground staff said they’d be on the next flight. No such luck. Leaving Washington today and the online tool still says “tracing”. Please help—will file incidentals + DOT complaint.

@vodafoneservice Witzig ist, wenn bei einem aufgrund von Störungen das Internet ausfällt, aber auch alle Störmelde-Systeme und Hotlines Störungen haben und nicht zu erreichen sind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@avbelow @arepty @timscher Very belated now… but likewise! (I've been 98% off Twitter for a little over a year 🙈)

Briefly logging in to Twitter to announce that diss-energy Billie Eilish is one of my favorite Billie Eilishes. Maybe you just had nothing on your mind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@tamler @peez Are we sure Tamler’s daugher wasn’t practicing? (Practicing talking to ghosts, I mean, of course.)

@hotdogsladies Excellent work naming chapters for all the German listeners this week. Thank you for your service ::tips hat::

@Bardi__ American pronunciation is SHA-lit.

To be fair, I was watching a Gordon Ramsey video, so I was already in a significant state of agitation.

I interrupt my current feed-based social media absence to let everybody know that I have learned the British pronunciation of shallot is shuh-LOT, and so I may not sleep tonight.

@HarvardAlumni @AnaTrbovich @RealMargaretAnn @MercedesMSoto @FinalFenwayFict Have an idea of where you want to go and pursue it, but don’t forget to look around with an open mind, you’ll miss the best paths otherwise. #HarvardNetwork

Concise writing is hard.

Because *tactics* aren't enough.

Concise writing requires a *mindset change*

The average writer's mindset:
How can I express everything I know about this topic?

The concise writer's mindset:
How can I reveal the most important thing about this topic?

[Silvano D'Agostino @Silvano_D]

Also, I’m considering quitting consumption of all social feed-based media because I tried to recount my favorite Twitter inputs from 2021 (!) and couldn’t come up with much other than Elon’s memes, so here we are.

I have discovered chili as a topping for mashed potatoes, and life will never be the same.
