people are getting angry that an avowed masochist has given them the experience of prolonged edging and denied climax

I mean it is true that you guys are supposed to be a temperate rainforest with wolves and bears and stuff. it's pretty depressing

that’s the moment when the moon creeps up to the bubbling of bassoons. that’s the time one looks at the elephant-colorings of tires!!

perhaps the realest to ever do it

really enjoying how much the author loves pissing off his fans. incredibly important mindset

this is true about bluesky as well

ah nice, we're right in this guy's portfolio next to "we're definitely solving racism this time" and "how about AI raises your kids?"

it's so funny that they just self-report "number of hasslers," like surely a pretty large proportion of people who identify as having a lot of hasslers might themselves not be easy to get along with

there's an aspect of the rapid uptake of AI I don't see people talk about much which is something like, "fear of expression." it's not just easier in terms of time or effort to have AI do something, the end product also doesn't confront you with any kind of self-knowledge

I think what really bothers me about this is that the people in the quotes trying to play off of this take this very strange tone about "scientists" like they're these friendly animals whose natural instinct is simply to find and share the truth, totally separate from human considerations

scientists as a class are not conspiring to keep secret knowledge from you. but the scientific community relies on a certain degree of trust and it doesn't take every member of it betraying that trust for the production of knowledge to get messed up

I don't know man. sometimes the scientists are employed by monsanto and they really don't want me to know some shit about glyphosate. like, it's complicated

one funny thing this lines up with is that this is the last cohort that went through ivy league colleges before they became coeducational

things that are happening far way are not my business or problem. however, if I want to talk about them, I insist you take me seriously

I have decided to consciously become more provincial and self-indulgent, but without becoming more humble or retiring in my opinions. hope this is okay with everyone

okay now you guys do it for us too

I think it's cool when an edition of a book or a run of prints are signed but there it's just a value-add on something else

sounds dubious but, certainly, emotionally satisfying

The Adventures of Pete & Pete - Season 2, Episode 9: On Golden Pete

I don't like to throw around the phrase american century of humiliation, however
