Half a pint of pistachio gelato, 2 ounces limoncello, 1 ounce #espresso.
The gelato melted very quickly, even in the frozen glass, before adding the chilled limoncello and hot espresso. Still good, but I’ll probably make it once more and forget to do it again.

"""
Writing has been an instrument for some of the highest expressions of the human spirit: poetry, philosophy, science. But to understand it — why it came into being, how it changed the human experience — we have to first appreciate its crass practicality. It evolved mainly as an instrument of the mundane: the economic, the administrative, the political.
Confusion over this point is understandable. Some scholars have equated the origin of “civilization” with the origin of writing. Laypeople sometimes take this equation to mean that with writing humanity put aside its barbarous past and started behaving in gentlemanly fashion, sipping tea and remembering to say “please.” And indeed, this may be only a mild caricature of what some nineteenth-century scholars actually meant by the equation: writing equals Greece equals Plato; illiteracy equals barbarism equals Attila the Hun.
But, in truth, if you add literacy to Attila the Hun, you don’t get Plato. You get Genghis Khan. During the thirteenth century, he administered what even today is the largest continuous land empire in the history of the world. And he could do so only because he had the requisite means of control: a script that, when carried by his pony express, amounted to the fastest large-scale information-processing technology of his era. One consequence was to give pillaging a scope beyond Attila’s wildest dreams. Information technology, like energy technology or any other technology, can be a tool for good or bad. By itself, it is no guarantor of moral progress or civility.

Calamus 37 A leaf for hand in hand!
I continue to have little patience for these Whitman entreaties to American unity. The recitation of place names does little for me. But I do appreciate that he's talking more about loving unity between men than some abstract political message.
You friendly boatmen and mechanics! You roughs! ...
I wish to infuse myself among you till I see it common for you to walk hand in hand.
That's the gay part there. It's pretty mild, but still seems striking of talking about two boatmen or mechanics walking holding hands. One might even see an appeal to rough trade.
I am beginning to understand this Whitman concept of "adhesiveness", a brotherly love that could unify a nation. I still prefer a more sexual gay reading but I think his poems work in both ways.

Apparently, my heat tolerance is way lower than it was last summer (previously 94 F). Running 5 miles in 80 F weather today triggered a mild asthma attack (I always have my inhaler with me), and my heart rate hit 190. The high HR was probably a combination of the temperature outside, pushing too hard, and all the medications I'm on. Classic fuck around and find out 😖
I will be inside on the treadmill until it's low 70s from now on.

Is anyone aware of useful examples of "heterogeneous" indexed containers/dependent polynomial functors Set/I − Set/O where I and O are different? The Small Induction Recursion paper says
Dybjer and Setzer treated only the case where I and O are the same. Our mild generalization allows the construction of partial fixed points.
but I don't know what this means.

Julia Doubleday on the gamble that covid would be harmless to children
"It’s worth noting that at the time Kulldorff and the rest of the GBD crew were proclaiming COVID’s harmlessness to kids, they couldn’t possibly have had enough information to determine the veracity of their own claims. Viruses like the chickenpox, EBV, HIV, HPV, and HSV often present with mild initial infections but may cause major damage years later. We now know COVID can as well.
"For so-called experts to run with an assumption that an initially mild-presenting acute infection would be long-term harmless was just that; an assumption. They were willing to gamble the health of a generation of children on a guess in order to go “back to normal” because that’s what the oligarchy clamored for. Because it costs money to shut the world economy down. Because people who mattered were angry. Because children aren’t people who matter."
(GBD = Great Barrington Declaration, a bit of 2020 propaganda including the unfounded supposition that everyone who caught covid would be immune forever after)
Overall another excellent pointy article!

Biden's record on covid
Saw a comment along the lines of: "seems unfair to criticise Biden's record on covid, while the situation now under Trump is so much worse".
But I don't think of them as separate. Biden's government _contributed_ to how covid stands under Trump.
If Biden's lot had taken the opportunity to educate people (at least the ones open to considering science findings) that
- it's airborne like smoke
- an empty room can hold infectious virus
- air filters, UV and fresh air reduce the levels of it
- masks work better the better they fit
- you can be infectious without/before symptoms
- you're fairly likely still to be infectious for 10 days, a few people longer
- current vaccines don't stop you catching it or transmitting it
- it can mess with your immune system so you're more likely to catch other things
- vaccinated people can still get Long Covid
- it's not "mild", it's just that the damage is quiet
then even if they hadn't done anything more to address the problem, people would be in a far better position to deploy their own common sense.
And unlike funding or laws, that investment in _knowledge_ is something it would be difficult for Trump's lot to roll back.
But Biden & co chose instead to play down the risks, and explicitly or implicitly mislead people (e.g. the 5-day quarantine, which contradicts the real infectious period).
So, yes it's worse now, but they _contributed_ to how it is now. They chose to encourage misapprehensions and confusion, and the effects of that choice are still playing out now.
Not letting them off the hook on the grounds of being comparatively "less bad", when they themselves laid some of the foundations of the current state of play.
