I’ve taken an indefinite break from social media for the most part (I still post cats to insta) and I haven’t had access to my Rutgers email account since 2022, so if anyone needs to reach me, I work at Stevens Institute of Technology and you can find my email there

After years of only hearing about it, I finally got my hands on the 5-page bodybuilding forum thread wherein a couple dudes get into a heated argument over how many days there are in a week and I am here to tell you that it is infinitely funnier than I even imagined it would be.
Waiting for @VictorPPetrov 's book to be released has been what's kept me going for the last two years

Wonderful conversation with Victor, and special thanks to @VirginiaLConn for pointing me to his work. If you don't remember the Bulgarian virus era of the internet or the Bulgarian laws of robotics you can find our here.
