This is performance art

”magic minute-taking machine“ is the one good use case for AI I’ve found at work. Well, that and making memes out of our corporate mascot.

Swearing is fine, it’s the stunned silence you gotta worry about.

Threading the needle where we finally win a series against the Celtics but still get to see Morey fired does actually make this Sixers postseason a success.

i loved, loved the brief moment in time when the dog and the toddler have the same IQ and go on idiot adventures together.

This better not awaken anything in me…

Every big man needs to box out and let his PG get rebounds tonight in his honor.

The real message of Frogger is the dangers of commuting in a city that doesn't have reliable public transit.

I was really not worried about the hantavirus until this administration started saying more and more forcefully everything is fine

All primetime games will now be Giants/Cowboys until Iran reopens the strait of hormuz

"The Hunger Games are here to stay, and are going to become a part of modern life. You need to start training and working for The Hunger Games" - Claudius Anthropica

This week, I saw a group of high school kids in my town circled up, kicking a hacky sack, and listening to shaggy on a boombox. This discourse is important—the youths are looking to us for guidance.

We aren’t talking enough about Ana Montana as a name here

The crazy place we find ourselves in with VAR is that you could probably make the argument that the ref should have disallowed the #WestHam goal and awarded West Ham a penalty… #VAR #Arsenal

I am proposing an additional surtax that will be used to buy us each the world’s smallest violin so that we can play it for them

Things that hit differently at 35,000 feet: 1. Pretzels 2. Sad movies 3. Scrolling through 500 photos of your dog when he was a puppy and vowing to play more fetch with him if the plane lands safely

It’s a very good image, is the thing. Go blue, go sharks, there’s still time to donate to a charity in honor of the moms in your life.

This is why you should be mad about these court rulings but not despondent

College students are having ZERO FUN anymore.

Entropy at the end of the universe:

Home Depot needs a food court. They’d be printing money with that.

“this is fine”

I just don't know what to say about this effort from Harden.

The two best days for an nba fan are when your team gets James Harden, and when your team trades him away.

Worth thinking about how basically everything about legalizing sports gambling has been awful while the worst thing about legalizing marijuana is, like, restaurant revenue is down because people drink less.

popped some old "Listening to Music" CDs in on the drive up here & boy were we used to listening to satellite radio & streaming through our phones; CDs have actual dynamic range! they sound real good!

Going around again. Still worth the watch.

Still the best film adaptation of The Odyssey

Told my students today that the hackers having their data wasn't necessarily worse than Canvas having it.

BRB, uploading my syllabus to Geocities.

They stole over 3 TB of data from Canvas but 2 TB is just required syllabus language copied from a university website.

This Canvas outage across campuses reminds me of an opinion that I have which is that universities should run off homemade software maintained by two people for 50 years at a time that does one specific thing well and otherwise has no commercial value.

If I had the time for a pet project I would simply create a platform that is a one-stop shop for all of these dumb streaming services. You would pay one fee and access all of them, and it would come with several niche platforms you would never watch. This platform would be called Kaybl.

I (thankfully) do not work on biothreats anymore, but some of y’all know me from Covid-era twitter and before that (!) from Ebola-era twitter so if it is helpful to you: I don’t think you need to be concerned about hantavirus

whoever leaked that he’s panicking about leaks is the funniest person in the government

I need everyone to see this

Could Ohtani hit an Ohtani sweeper using a secret third Ohtani as a bat???

I’m sure he was evil in many ways but I deeply long for the days when billionaires were into baseball and pro wrestling and not publicly doing weird shit with their sperm

Add him to the Philly news interview pantheon

BlueSky users when we get the chance to post about how trains are neat

You can post anything as a preprint as long as it *looks like* a serious study

Is that Robin Sparkles??

One vote to make this guy the next President of the School.

Working theory: the increased audience from any genre show will eventually ruin it. See: this, Stranger Things, GoT

This would fix me

inspired by a post I saw on here and have since lost, I've started reading "AI companies" as "cigarette manufacturers," so something like this becomes "maker of Newports backs bill to fund smoking literacy in schools"
