@callanable I am the king of having my mouth burned by things other people insist are at normal eating temperature

@cynlioness 2/3 preferred, 1 is a hard no

@EntropicBazaar @JBSDC To be clear, the job could have paid a large amount of money and still been miserable because doing factory work is an exhausting and mind-numbing use of human capacity and we shouldn't aspire to a world in which more than the bare minimum of humans have to do this work

@d_will_g @majamediaco When I was working in Reykjavík, one of my coworkers there broke up with his long-term girlfriend. Every time we went out we would see her at at least one of the bars we went to because in a small enough town you're gonna see the same people and you just have to get along

@majamediaco Did it work??

@zacharyvalles It's physically painful each time I see it happen

@LinkofSunshine My company https://t.co/Tvdrpw4p1M is beginning a human trial in people with stage IV metastatic pancreatic cancer this fall that uses a completely different modality (bacterial vector to deliver DNA to cancer cells and make them look like tetanus), goal is a cure with no impacts

@LinkofSunshine Finally someone is brave enough to say it

[Paul Murray @thegreatpmurs]

@majamediaco Maybe the most important thing I ever picked up from my friends who are better at conversations than I am is the phrase "Say more."

[Paul Murray @thegreatpmurs]

@majamediaco Common among the good interviewers is curiosity as an explicitly stated value -- they really like learning what people think and why and how they think it. They're also unafraid to ask questions that reveal gaps in their own knowledge and people love getting to teach you things

[Paul Murray @thegreatpmurs]

@majamediaco Coming from a HS/college friend group of unprompted sharers, I was really in awe of new friends I met who were great interviewers and could draw so much passion and depth out of people. I tried to really study how they would ask questions and break open conversations

[Paul Murray @thegreatpmurs]

@TheNoopDawg @majamediaco I've been more intentional lately about saying "actually I have more to say about X" if I feel like someone I'm talking to is moving through questions out of politeness or a sense of obligatory reciprocity. I try to ask things I genuinely want the answer to, reply with depth!

Their second album came out on Friday and I've been running it non-stop, their live performance is gorgeous and I will make a point of going to see them whenever my schedule allows for it

Making a point in the last year of diving hard into the New York indie rock scene has brought me so much joy and led me to so many cool people and magical evenings.

Ok Cowgirl has been my favorite musical find of 2026 so far, dreamy alt-country indie with evocative storytelling

@AmericanVet24 @nycgraceryan Many rent stabilized apartments in New York cost the same as market rate units. Nearly 50% of rental units fall under stabilization laws. Having a rent *controlled* unit might raise an eyebrow but living in a stabilized unit really isn't noteworthy here

@majamediaco Being told the right question to be asking is "How do I become the kind of person the women I'm attracted to want to be around?" was a genuinely earth-shattering revelation for me, and I credit it with sending me down a path of intentional and relentless self-improvement

[Paul Murray @thegreatpmurs]

@majamediaco I was a pretty classic shy introverted nerdy lovelorn teenage boy and always framed my romantic problems as "Why don't girls like me?" When I was 21, someone on Reddit said "Your framing of the problem is wrong because it puts the responsibility for people to like you on them."
