Using pizza to confirm hypotheses, and other notes

• Through a happenstance of social networking that is entirely too complicated and obnoxious to explain, I came across this account of someone who is 1) very smart, 2) very paranoid, and 3) on shrooms. It's brief; read it.
• A heart-warming story in the NYT about a few dozen homeless men building a boat to prove their worth to society.
• Today Marian called me out on quoting a line from an Ezra Klein post (it was "that's, like, her journey, man"). I don't know what that says about us.
