I'm a one issue voter

Lazily googling to find the title of a Poe story instead of going to my bookshelf Instead of directing me to A Tale of the Ragged Mountains (good), google generates an imitation of a Poe story (🫥)

Got that first-time-back-in-the-gym-after-months DOMS It's good, I like this actually

Many leaders, too—lots of Dems, Macron and other world executives—fluffy little lapdogs coming to heel. “We’re monitoring the situation” you’re doing nothing, you just had an aide use chatGPT to draft the same statement as every other empty suit. There will be no consequences, no rule of law

Bleak, but I'd guess the reality is worse than only 40% not reading at all. Many people probably stretch the definitions of "read" and "book" when they answer

Tired half the time and have headaches most days And honestly, don't mind it at all because of this guy's smile

One of the funniest things in the world to me right now is when I clip my own nails after clipping our baby's nails. It's like fighting a giant and that being 100x easier than the tiny minion

"Nearly 80 years later, the simplex method is still among the most widely used tools when a logistical or supply-chain decision needs to be made under complex constraints." only half followed the description of the simplex method in here but super interesting anyways www.wired.com/story/resear...

The real task isn’t “teaching people to spot misinformation.” It’s rebuilding conditions where verification, deliberation and accountability are possible. Critical thinking only works when the world around it gives those skills a place to take root.

After a month in Sicily My stomach just texted me this??? how

I would bet money that they won't

The richest man in the world has killed hundreds of thousands of the poorest children in the world I think this is one of the most evil--and definitely the most anti-christian--acts in human history

"As the university trades its teaching mission for “AI-tech integration,” it doesn’t just risk irrelevance—it risks becoming mechanically soulless. Genuine intellectual struggle has become too expensive of a value proposition."

Not just dropped, but actively pushed on us from almost all our leaders

This perfectly explains why almost all TV sucks so bad

This is so much more scandalous than some UCs offering remedial math courses But somehow I won't be surprised if the same journos and pundits who're so concerned about "woke" lowering standards are silent about this www.nber.org/system/files...

I'm getting cautiously optimistic that the AI insanity will be ended soon by (1) a deluge of lawsuits and (2) society in general learning that it's bullshit on.ft.com/3M4Y61L www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/b...

Logging on to X the Everything app™️ and having the audacity to say remedial math classes are good actually and universities should educate and not just select students

Slicing salami, the knife slips, freeze frame at a moment when I'm not sure whether it's about to take a finger off. My brain in that moment: whatever happens there we've got to eat this slice of salami first. Then we can go searching for the finger. (It missed, phew)

Bring back Jormny Crobins

AI is bad for students. Get it out of our schools.

Counterpoints: - He only won 2016 primary because the GOP didn't fight its outsider(s) as effectively as the Dems (in both 2016 and 2020) - He wouldn't have won in 2024 without backing from the literal world's richest man - The same political trends are everywhere (incl. musk interference!)

The next Democratic POTUS (lol) will learn from this and do something different (lmao)

Me, to the universe: you're welcome. It was easy actually

The tattoo was bad, he shouldn't have gotten it, he should have had it removed long ago, next best time is now. Also, it is a tattoo, which is art on a person's body. Almost all federal politicians are providing material support for an ongoing genocide right now. Just another perspective!

trump voters: "I'm not against immigrants, I just think they should do it LEGALLY" The legal system:

A man was wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit for more than 40 years. As soon as he was exonerated, ICE picked him up to deport him to a country he has not lived in since he was a baby www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

In academia you don't get to put on your CV that you have *not* done something like this www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/h...

Over 300,000 children have died so far as a direct result of trump and musk illegally defunding USAID

The really strange thing is that Klein is fully bought-in on the idea that social media algorithms are a major cause of all the things getting politically worse right now ... and then he turns around and promotes/befriends(?) the specific people using those algorithms *most* destructively 🤨

I'm now guessing >20%

Left: The entire British political establishment working diligently to destroy Jeremy Corbyn and keep him out of power by any means Right: Starmer's Labour, in power, manages to become more unpopular than its lowest point under Corbyn

Delete all the data, is something I say, oftentimes

He's speaking to a far-right rally telling them that violence is coming to them, they have to fight back, there must be a revolutionary government change, and it cannot wait until the next election He's trying to incite a violent insurrection, he should be arrested for encouraging terrorism

Noahpinion accidentally admitting that the left isn't responsible for cancel culture, but probably doesn't even realize he implied as much

Realized that at least some Dem Party leaders aren't doing more to stop or resist the power grab because they are salivating thinking about the bribes they will be able to extract when it's their next turn holding the WH and Congress

This is what I've been saying since 2023 (image below) "prediction: use of "AI" [...] will come to be broadly associated with cheating, deception, lack of respect for other people, and low quality work that cannot be trusted in important settings"

The rest of the world should unite and negotiate their trade deals with the US collectively rather than individually "America First" should mean "USA vs The Entire World," and the side with ~95% of people on this planet should win

I'm guessing the general pattern is that these DOGE losers asked "grok" to summarize/search documents for them, didn't check any details, then made life and death decisions based on "hallucinations"

There's a grand historical narrative to be told about (competent, i.e. center/left) neoliberal governance and Goodhart's law Targeting- GDP: more consumption, but it's wasteful and unhealthy Unemployment: more jobs, but they suck Housing: more units, but they suck etc

Squatted so hard I went temporarily partially blind (it was probably just a migraine actually, squatting is safe)

Getting closer

Can anyone explain why other countries haven't started uniting into blocs to collectively negotiate against the US? It's one imbecile versus the entire world, but other world leaders are lining up and waiting their turn to fight with him 1-on-1. Just team up and crush him, make the USA your lapdog!

Celebrated the last day of my 30s today by going hard in the gym, testing powerlifting maxes Squat 165kg (363lb) Bench 110kg (242lb) Deadlift 180kg (396lb) Total 455kg (1,003lb) I'm donating this total £ to www.pcrf.net If you can help Palestinians too, let's do it! now!

Tired: our 2 month old baby Wired: our baby, also

Stopping fascists from rising to greater political power by giving them more of what they want A strategy that always works and never backfires

In the future, people will not be stupid anymore - is something I like to believe

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
