Gordian Scouting set appreciation post

No, I did not "feel" the earthquake, Yes, I did "cause it with my mind"... 🙄 next question

It is my Scariest Sunday of the year, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers

They're makin' ya boy include a policy on "[f]artificial intelligence" usage in my syllabus and tbh I'd rather be launched in a rocket at the sun 🚀🌞

Ok I made carbonara but with anchovies instead of cured pork, and it is: incredible 😳

I'm having a special "red drink" on the deck bc I was at a 5-hour long department meeting today followed by two additional course design meetings (those were short) and: I love my job, but I need at least one (1) more month off before a student has access to me

Why aren't there more/better remixes of The Grid from Tron: Legacy? There's like the 1m36s version from the movie with Jeff Bridges' voiceover, and a fairly mid remix by The Crystal Method and... that's it? (This is what I'm choosing to be mad about today.)

Stoned and just remembered I've got some PLUMS in the ICEBOX... sure hope none of you ATE any... [does "I've got my eyes on you" gesture but he's somehow incredibly bad at it]

Shhh foundation finale

New students at the law school with broccoli haircuts in case you were planning on committing any crimes in the middle-distant future

At a teaching workshop which in fairness has no funding since King Dumbass took the throne but there's been NO COFFEE or even time to GET COFFEE elsewhere

One of the best parts about making a huge fuck-off pot of bachelor-time spaghetti is that you can have it cold for breakfast the next day and no one knows your terrible secret unless you post about it here on twitter dot com

A new Dainese suit is on the way and hopefully it'll fit this time 🙂‍↕️

There are lots of horrors in the world far greater but every time I see the French plural of sandwich (sandwichs) I feel the chill of the abyss gazing back

No one: Me: I was just thinking about how it's a little funny that, of my four ancestral breakfast-appropriate sausages (longanisa, lap cheong, cured chorizo, and weisswurst), the German one is the hardest to source locally.

🌟Fun Fact🌟 I almost always listen to a particular Skyrim mix on YouTube while working, and because of this, I measure units of work-time in "Skyrims" for planning purposes. 1 Skyrim = 1 hour, 28 minutes, and 50 seconds.

There's this guy from grad school I never liked, and twitter is always suggesting that I follow him, so I can only assume their genius algorithm thinks his professional/academic account is a gay furry and/or gear fetish account 🥰🥰🥰 the only #content I still follow there 🥰🥰🥰

I took time out of paper writing to explain what Bowser Day is to @tylerhower.bsky.social and he responded simply with "Ah" 😔

The necessary conditions have turned out to be sufficient after all, and now I can write the damn paper.

Truly my favorite part about trying to decode today's imagined events was all of the genius blue checks over yonder discovering/reminding everyone urgently that the vice president is next in line! Incredible work, gumshoes

"Why did I spend math on a gun?" and other phrases that make sense only to the depraved

Foundation is so fucking good

Yesterday... he looked at the camera... for the very first time 🥲

I've been chronically frustrated by the proof of a technical lemma in a paper I've been writing, to the point that I recently asked an LLM for new ideas (unsurprisingly it had none that weren't total nonsense). Anyway I proved it today! A victory for humankind. ✌️

Summer should never end 🥲

Brawn: 💪💪💪💪💪 Beauty: 😘😘😘😘😘 Brains: 🚫

We should never have let computer scientists use matrices

Would love if my dumb ass would maybe internalize the lesson that "if your depression is rowdy of late, lifting will help you feel incrementally but immediately better"

Physically incapable of saying "cardamom bun" out loud without first saying "cardamom bum"

Actual Filipino people should get to skip the line at Kasama

I'm making bäcos, like from Bäco Mercat... 😔 a restaurant that I very badly miss

The tech industry is such a fucking joke lately, I cannot even

I went out last night (monthly BLUF event at the Eagle), please clap

Ongoing decluttering project facilitated by Swedish furniture store easily accessible on public transit

We had someone whining through the whole new raid about having to read/learn unfamiliar mechanics, lmao, big "i need chatgpt to fuck my wife 🥺" energy

How dare English people invent the word SIXTH and they all pronounce it SICKTH

Watched The Bad Guys [1] last night for the first time, and I utterly CONDEMN it for mainstreaming the DEPRAVED idea that anthropomorphic WOLVES should [redacted] anthropomorphic FOXES,, a FILTHY and UNNATURAL fantasy scenario with absolutely NO BASIS in what foxes ACTUALLY want real REAL bad

My default at-home burg is fairly lean but heavily spiced with cumin and coriander, topped with sharp white cheddar (or goat cheese), a roasted piquillo pepper, and caramelized onion jam, on a heavily buttered and toasted brioche bun

Today, self-care 😌🙏💕 means gildas y vermut

This is, for lack of more descriptive language, "sending me"

Yoshi P got me this for my birthday next week... you're all welcome 🥰

Happy International Tiger Day from Latro, who definitely cannot read a calendar

Someone did not refresh our coffee supply over the weekend revealing to one and all how PATHETICALLY dependent I am on it to even countenance "work"

My very first aero #humpday !
