[Furiously scrolling on iTunes]: Wait a minute, this Hobbes guy hasn't researched HALF the things he's made episodes about!

Introduce yourself with five concerts you attended Swans at the Royal Peacock Lounge Neko Case at the Middle East Upstairs Bikini Kill at Gilman Dawson at Cabot House Dog Faced Hermans at the Middle East Downstairs

I really like Mimic, and he does have moments in almost every one of his films, but yeah, he's someone I like the idea of more than the actual work.

Co-sign all of this

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

now imagining a Rachel Dolezal esque situation where a human professor wears a cybernetic harness to pretend they are a droid and drops "what up my clanka" at academic conferences

When she takes over CBS News, will Bari Weiss do what she has always done? Or will she do a totally different thing she has no expertise or interest in? www.vanityfair.com/news/story/b...

FanTASTIC news let’s get this done

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

I'd also identify a third position, "I see or imagine there are meaningful uses for LLMs, but that they are relatively few (not 'everything') and relatively small (+10%, not +10000%) and so may not support the cost of model building and inference or the valuation of these companies."

Feels a bit churlish to point out that this is a clause, not the whole sentence, since it's almost as bad in context: "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

I don’t say this lightly but Mr. Beast might be Satan

The way the media spins stories like this is “look how the dogged cops cleared this terrible quadruple-murder 34 years later” and not “oh by the way they totally accused and convicted the wrong guys before, oops lol” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

if I were a member of the current Trump administration I would not be excited about the concept of “illegal pardons”

It has been a shitshow for the ages.

So Pulte accidentally implicated three Trump cabinet members and his own dad, but not the black woman he was trying to help Trump fire.

Uwu but hawwv you considered the epistemological standpoint of da vice president, including his twauma

Anyone saying "It's Newsom or Trump" - Are you just so inured to picking the lesser evil that when a vacuum opens up, you immediately reach for the first lesser evil you can find to fill it? You have literal years to push for better candidates. If you're saying this now, you *are* the problem.

i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

Everything is about sex, except sex, which is about power, and bdsm, which is about the primal human desire to do looney tunes shit

And in academic hothouses they have mostly remained. ("Critical theory" is a bizarre inclusion, though.)

Wow that's crazy that the Trump administration simply let a MS-13 supersoldier back on the streets

Homeless camps are a policy failure, but "clearing homeless camps" isn't a policy solution, it's the state harassing people for the crime of embarrassing the state with its policy failure.

It is not as if Trump is getting a superstar statistician with some questionable views and poor judgement. The questionable views and poor judgement is all he is getting. Those are the reasons Antoni is even being considered. Here is what two economists at conservative think tanks said about him.

If you see this, post a bad woman you love

jesus christ this is an actual fisking

A problem with LLMs is not so much that they shift control or rights over information and knowledge, as things or data, and by doing so degrade them, but rather how they remediate & assert new arrangements of power between how we choose to associate with each other to construct our reality together

In a stunning moment of erotic fervour, calculator demands BOOBS.

Gavin Newsom's main talents have always been cozying up to rich people and being a democrat that rich republicans trusted. He did that in San Francisco first, so his politics were initially relatively progressive-coded; in Sacramento, he has been a "keep the progressives in line" governor.

Yes, and while the overwhelmingly liberal tilt of the academy is probably not a good thing for its cultural legitimacy, viewpoint diversity advocates seem hard-pressed to explain why a university should care whether its physicists or historians of feudal Japan are liberal or conservative.

Nah, just go over the heads of the 18th century dorks to sensible 17th century dudes like Ben Jonson, who knew that they were just for marking longer & shorter breaths.

Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com: Susie Barnshaw, a junior at a high school in Queens, is a bitch with a fat ass. Though this is not normally within the scope of our paper’s focus we realized that we were about to be scooped by @LolBigDickBoiii69420 on Twitter.

There was an elite consensus against transphobia so strong Texas’ Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus refused to pass a transphobic law, the public broadly agreed, and then a few elite liberals took it upon themselves to make transphobia popular and more or less succeeded.

i listened to the Ezra Klein/Sarah McBride interview, and her entire position revolves around a completely unproven assertion: the idea what caused the shift in polls away from trans rights is the rhetoric of the left. that might be true, but i haven’t seen any real evidence for it.

Also Pluto is a planet and whales are fish. Words are too important to let scientists define them!
