In a seaside landscape, a skeletal figure tugs at a man in oilskins as they stand in the water, just off the beach. Gray, stormy clouds in the sky, and a tower or lighthouse stands in the distance.

They're nothing if not predictable.

I imagine their response is something akin to, "Cool, yeah, absolutely, but also: $30 out of pocket."

Unsaid here is the therapy is for the parents who are in denial that a world exists outside their solipsism.

I love a good Chotiner interview as much as anyone, but I'm curious, has anyone who blundered their way through an interview suffered any professional consequences for looking like a complete fool?

Me when I’m stalling and trying to think of a rebuttal: There could be. Yeah, there could be. Yeah. There could be.

"Hey, did you find a new coat for me to wear for the photoshoot?"

Sure did, boss, made it real fascist, just like you asked for.

Pulling some Friedman-takes out of the freezer to thaw for dinner tonight. They’ve been in there for a while, but I’m sure once we pop them in the microwave they’ll be just as good as they once were.

Good luck. You’re gonna do great!

It’s funny because people will swear the racial revanchists of our current moment are blazing exciting new and dangerous trails of thought, and they’re very much regurgitating the philosophy of the embittered former slaveowners.

This is one of the only times that Neil deGrasse Tyson's deflating "actually your genes don't carry that kind of information" would be fine.

If I had asked that question, and endured that answer, I would not show my face in public for at least a year, if not a decade.

If you don’t invest in a national beanie baby reserve, then what happens when you need a lot of beanie babies? Have you even considered that?

My daughter’s preschool is producing weapons-grade coughium, they are absolutely a hazard to humanity.

Yes, I do have regrets.

I regret not ordering more.

My wife asking me, β€œWhy are you buying another freezer?” And I’m grinning ear to ear knowing that dinner is solved for months.

Requesting a week off work to dumpling-crawl my way into oblivion.

The only problem with dumpling week, is there's no possible way I can try every dumpling.

β€œHey, Ryan, why are you so against using AI in education? What about for just generating research paper ideas?”

Some poor kid is going to β€œlearn” from an LLM about a concept that doesn’t exist and it’s going to burn a hectare of a rainforest and waste that kids time.
