Going to sue AWP for scheduling the end of the conference to coincide with Daylight Savings Time
There is that whole subdiscipline in mathematics devoted to explaining why things like Christmas lights tangle so badly between uses, with the basic principle being that there are nearly infinite positions where they do tangle, while the number of positions where they don't is fairly small.
*I wonder how many activities can be vibed besides "vibe coding."

I've managed to mostly not know anything about the news for the past 48 hours and in that time the world has gotten immeasurably stupider
Oh yeah, I mean I guess there's also tabling
This is honestly just like, my understanding of what AWP is
i know that they talk about budget stuff because their focus groups say that works for elections. i've never run for office, so what do i know! but what a miserable, soulless person it must be who says "this is a distraction from affordability at home" in the face of eighty dead schoolchildren

Having lived in cities and not-cities I'd put my money firmly on cities here
Ah, the circle of life
