All the DOGE boys look like what I would draw if someone gave me a “draw a young Nazi” prompt

How I’m going to start approaching every AI Booster who constantly does free promo for shitty products for no reason: “I didn’t know you were working for OpenAI/Anthropic! Congratulations on your new job. How much are they paying you?”

I don’t have any other social media anymore so I’m sincere-posting on main: 5th wedding anniversary with @glonsber.bsky.social. Hopefully soon we can stop paying for an immigration lawyer and finally buy some rings. Pictured here doing our favorite thing: going to shows!

My first jazz show ever, and it couldn’t have been more amazing

Recent tech innovations: - MacBook in pink, blue, and yellow - Kenyan data annotators can now see you naked thanks to Meta’s Ray Ban glasses - AI will be allowed to kill people

I couldn’t think of a word to describe “opposite of diligence” in my professional ethics class, which is how “halfassedness” was born

My head looks like this (doomscrolling) So his head can look like this (empty)

Now that’s what I call “The Board of Peace!”

Four years ago I was at the Central APA when Russia invaded Ukraine… and it was a horrible place to be, lol. People were discussing my corner of the world as if no real free agents existed there.

It’s just a “thought partner”!!!

I didn’t mean to become a sticker designer, but someone had to do it!

If you’re my friend, you know who to cheer for in the Slovakia vs USA men’s hockey semifinal match that’s about to begin! 🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰

Every time I teach Professional Ethics my students get Care Ethics-pilled. Good!

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

It’s been a couple of years since anyone asked me if I’m a freshman, but a student organization did try to just recruit me today—we’re so back!

A student in my class exclaimed: “AI will not replace me, I will replace AI!!” A rare truly inspirational quote.

I just realized that Google Search options is a nice “how epistemically cooked are you” scale

Nope. She's teaching it to simulate moral capacity. Incidentally, simulating moral capacity is a sociopathic trait.

NYT and The Atlantic are working overtime for everyone except for the people who were *always* against Trump

Bad Bunny simply showed a bunch of people enjoying life and having a nice time, and it’s going to make certain people so angry

I didn’t have “shedding a tear during the halftime show” on my bingo card

More of this!

When my spouse asks me how my fellowship is going

I’m scared because I saw characters talk to each other in Sims 4

No, I don’t.

Nothing like starting my Monday with a good laugh

What does it mean when I got a static shock from touching cornbread

Yesterday I experienced one of those class sessions where students and I were really Doing Philosophy in real time and I’m still riding that feeling

What puzzles me about the “we gotta break from our bubble” people is that I absolutely know what the other side is saying, and that’s precisely why I’m not going to willingly expose myself to their ideas!

God give me the strength to not look at the Daily Nous comments today

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Askell is an effective altruist, must I say more?

A sentence from hell: “people in SF are putting multi-agent claudeswarms in charge of their lives, consulting chatbots before every decision, wireheading to a degree only sci-fi writers dared to imagine.”

Finished. The Unbearable Iceness of Being. Going to need to be left alone for the rest of the day.

I’m in the middle of The Unbearable Lightness of Being—sometime you’re reading a book about the 1968 occupation of Czechoslovakia, and it becomes a book about the 2026 occupation of Minneapolis.

Finally finished my meticulous curation 💅 One song from each of my 27 favorite albums of 2025

So gross

I feel like I finally need to find a better lit review system than 20 folders with PDFs of articles. Who wants to share their strategies and (non-AI!) tools with me? 🥲

My Slavic ass so ready for this

I’m trying to watch less Content™️ so now I just sit on the couch listening to an audiobook staring into the distance every evening lol

I keep thinking about this: It would, of course, be disgusting either way, but there is something especially gross about claiming Suni Lee as an example of American excellence while terrorizing the community that she came from.
