That guy in your group project the night before it is due:
I have worked for college administrators who have zero social skills, but try to be fair. I have also worked for administrators that are friendly, make small talk, talk about the college being a family… and then announce that the college is closing a week later. I’ll take the former any day.
God I hate this idea. People are not one more image of a dead baby away from radicalisation. We don't lack will, we lack any real means to act on our will because the left has ceased to be a political project and become a few thousand people trying to Post their way out of Posting.
The original movie poster for Disney’s The Aristocats.
There are a number I’m sure I should have seen(MASH, Catch-22), but this is the only one I have that I actually like.
Thing 2, who is obsessed with Timothée Chalamet: “Bro, did you hear what Timmy said about ballet & opera? He is dead to me. What is he talking about?!? He just made a movie about ping pong FFS!” #TheKidsAreAllRight
A screenshot of TikTok showing that Sohla El-Waylly liked my comment.
Welp, I think I’ve accomplished everything I need to do today.
“Some of the cousins think we should have culled them as soon as they came, the way you’d pull a carcass out of a creek so that it doesn’t spoil the water.” (No spoiler, literally the 2nd paragraph)
Ope, I’m locked in. Can’t wait to read this tonight.
One worked for a power tools company who fired him mere months before he would have eligible for a pension.
The other was a lifelong IBM repair and service guy in the computing division. Mom and I wonder if he knew anything about IBM’s German contracts.
The doorknob?!? Though I suspect the general behavior might be a thing. When we replaced our garage a couple years ago, the neighborhood was so happy. People would stand across the street and talk to each other and point. People we didn’t know would come up to the house to ask us about it.
Dark Sky was acquired by Apple, then the creator left Apple and they have a new app out, Acme Weather. Very nice. apps.apple.com/us/app/acme-...
Fine, I’ll go practice my Spanish.
Why am I having such a difficult time writing this lecture?!? *reads the news* Oh. Right.
Thing 1, a high school sophomore, has a habit of loudly saying “Yuck!” whenever one of their teacher says they used AI to write an assignment. So yeah, I think my parenting duties are done.
A chart of my cholesterol showing it is now in an acceptable range.
Having no such card, agreed.
I understand the compulsion to be early, but just sit in your car and scroll TikTok like a normal person for God's sake.
Unstated in this press release: UHSP has (had) an undergraduate program, all of whose tenured faculty are being shown the door.
I still have unresolved issues around a sewer line backup that happened over five years ago. Every time I hear water running in the basement my blood pressure spikes.
If you’re attending #BPS2026, there are several opportunities to hear about ongoing projects in the Starbird lab. Looking forward to seeing everyone at BPS!
I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!
My favorite (?) story re: antibiotics is that Calvin Coolidge Jr. got a blister playing lawn tennis at the White House and died from sepsis a week later.
Noah Wiley walking people through the set library (because cell phones aren’t allowed on set). I’ve never been more jealous of a workplace environment in my life.
My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse
See, I could have just skipped the invited ethics seminar (!) by the Associate Provost of AI at Coastal Carolina and read this thread and eaten my lunch in peace and I would be smarter in less time and with lower blood pressure.
Saving this for the next time someone pushes back on Okun's assertion that "Worship of the Written Word" is one of the hallmarks of white supremacy culture.
Currently listening to my daughters’ friends actively root against the Patriots. The kids are all right.
We are replacing all the shutoff valves in our house next month because some of them are held together by calcification.
For the second week in a row I had to rage quit the @nytimes.com opinion podcast. I don’t know how @jamellebouie.net doesn’t stroke out being told week after week that his points are valid but the logical response to current events is to doom spiral.
I’m watched it in the theater with my daughter, then watched it again at home a week later with my spouse and didn’t once pick up my phone at home. Which for this addled ADD brain is about the highest praise there is.
St. Louis: Midwestern Winters and Southern Summers. Which ever one you don’t like, at least it doesn’t last as long as other places.
