that liberal currents essay about cuckoldry pornography suffers much the same problem as that harpers article about gooning from a few months back

american explaining hypocrisy: imagine a hotdog

over on twitter the post that keeps getting onto my timeline is, my professor is oppressing me by asking me to come to office hours

dang i wonder why so many hate the ai people, how can we possibly figure out this mystery

they call this the pink tax

haha :)

bf just informed me that as a child he never had a crush on illidan warcraft

they shouldn't call it french toast when french baked goods are so delicious and french toast is so mid

huh! never thought of it like that before! ... i just gave his tl a quick scroll and tbh this guy has some of the best political analysis i've seen on here - doesn't seem like he puts any of it's behind a substack subscription, either pretty cool! mb we have the juice after all

the one fun thing about the food crisis we're entering is getting to see people who've never cooked before explain how to feed your family on a budget

Theorem (Claude 2026): P ≠ NP but P + AI = NP.

the most relatable thing about donald trump is how much he hates don jr and thinks he sucks

"it is a stereotype that people who think it's sinful to be gay have negative attitudes toward gay people"

americans will tell you that their government is secular and doesn't enforce any religion, but then you will find yourself at a ceremony as part of your job duties as an employee of the state listening to an invocation about "the creator, which we all know in our own ways"

it is 2036. llms are better at coming up proofs than any human. the only real work left for mathematicians is to decide which axioms for the higher infinite are the right ones

possibly the worst consequence of ai use in maths is the discipline attracted the attention of the idiot blogger class

obviously i'd have preferred it happen a different way. but if the future of math research is funding being directed to a small number of people to generate llm answers, it might be lucky that i did not continue in academia. that sounds really unpleasant

worldbuilding is fine if you approach it right. continually give the reader bad information to later overturn, say nothing about your magic system till the third book, jump to a previously unmentioned continent for book five, write a prequel trilogy that contradicts the lore of the main series.

it wasn't hard to suss out what the point was, from the institution's point of view: brand management (part of maintaining a reputation for academic excellence) and getting tuition and donor dollars. if you'd've asked what the pedagogical purpose of the policy was, you'd have missed the point.

i once taught at an expensive small liberal arts college. one of the policies was a hella late deadline for withdrawal, well later than any public school i've been at. every semester i had a few students withdraw right before the deadline, so that an F or D or C in math wouldn't hurt their gpa.

the zoomers are wrong. it's still cool to smoke a joint

i cannot imagine caring about academic policies at harvard, a place that shouldnt exist

saw them again, and frankly it's an awful hazing practice to make some doughy 18yo utahn stand around in muggy 90° weather and get rejected by every single person he tries to talk to on the street

now that it is work from home season, everyday around noon to thirteen he bugs me until he gets his daily treats and hydration

i don't get why anyone with a soul would run for local office in a bourgeois democracy. you either dutifully do what capital tells you or else you get crushed and the voters blame you anyway

*eulogizing a guy who fought against equal rights for a subset of lgbt people* he was a champion for lgbt rights

they call him barney frank cuz he's a dinosaur who's just as much red as blue

the subversive thing you can do in your scifi is eschew allegory. don't write "woah look how future society treats mutants doesn't that remind you of something", write "look how society treats people with hiv"

my entire fridge smells like durian now

he's got a point. doubling a pittance to a double pittance won't do much. what will help teachers in queens tho is expropriating all of bezos's wealth and sending him to a labor camp

new york construction guy hearing about a "tufted titmouse": heh, this i gotta see!! later: that noble crest, the stout beak, the peach wash. the tufted titmouse is an exemplar of the natural beauty with which we are privileged to share this earth

leibniz purports to solve the problem of evil by saying we live in the best of all possible worlds. however this supposition is clearly flawed. after all, there is a better possible world, namely the one where all else is the same except instead of dwarf fortress it's orc fortress

bisexuals will be like, i like all women and one man, and that man will be kerkylas of andros

i wish i lived in a state ran by communists instead of one ran by maybe well-meaning liberals addicted to means testing. would make it easier to do my job as an employee of the state.
