The world is bad; make babka buns.

Ottawa you lucky bastards, go!!

When I say I am PUMPED about this !!!!

I low-key think that executive counter-knowledge is one of the biggest scourges on and threats to a functioning American society

Of course humanities fields “progress.” We‘ve discarded and superseded any number of ways of doing things. But I’d argue that’s not the GOAL of the field, which (a) people do not want to admit and/because it (b) makes things difficult, existentially!

Virgo: Sometimes you are your own worst enemy. Not today though. Today it is Jeff.

Am I having an anxiety attack or am I just hungry? A Kim Story

Look when I say that I had a headache for two days for this, I mean it in the best way — absolutely over-full of thinkers doing some of the most good-faith work I’ve had the pleasure to be a part of.

Puffer jacket snoopy season is upon us

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

I literally laughed out loud at seeing this headline / byline combo, tonight is the best night in a while

Toronto, you will not taste victory until you sacrifice Drake

the blue jays must triumph in the name of urbanist ballparks. the unholy Dodgers Sea of Parking must be defeated

And this is why text-based social media is where it’s at

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

It is hard to overstate the stress produced by the incoherence of academic institutions pumping generative AI when they want to play business and then leaving instructors to deal with the results when they want to play school

Oh Bari Weiss is just Ms Rachel’s Wario

I'm opening a restaurant called "Hamburger." You walk up to the counter and say "hamburger, please," and, shortly thereafter, you are handed a hamburger. If you say anything other than "hamburger, please," a trapdoor opens beneath you and you drop into The Pit.

one of the things I have come to believe is that the failure state of capitalism is not exactly the material phenomenon Marx describes so much as a kind of nihilism that comes from having enough money to buy anything you are legally permitted to purchase

The Trudeau-Perry thing is a particularly apt manifestation of Canada as a country being neither Bad nor Good, but merely Deeply Embarrassing

Okay Toronto has 9 runs, but like how many American runs is that

Shoutout to the Hyundai that just drove down my neighborhood’s Main Street absolutely blasting Christina Aguilera’s 2002 smash hit “Dirrty”

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!" Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

Love that he’s followed up on the whole “Is that your baby” / “Not yet” thing

Good lord police you're looking for someone who robbed an art museum the guy is RIGHT THERE

Lmao 'test of ceasefire' is funny. They broke the ceasefire. AP has gone from sanewashing and passive voice to outright not understanding the definition of words in the dictionary.

I’m doing that thing that I assume every western visitor does where I get emotional about the Shinkansen — just standing here watching these trains nose their way sleekly in and out of the station and feeling Ways about the fact that we will never have thissssss

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

It's not too late to pick up a new hobby in your 30s or 40s. 50 is too late. But when you turn 51 it's ok again. Then too late again at 82. When you turn 83 the bats are released.

One single I’m-traveling update: Osaka is the Philadelphia of Japan and I will not be taking questions at this time

flipped classrooms & the unquestioned shift toward “student-led learning” were also part of the deprofessionalization->adjunctification->mechanization program whose ultimate goal was a fully administrative university

Imagine studying a technology whose presence in the classroom is so detrimental to the development of writing and research skills (including even the will to know the sources behind claims!) that mitigating its effects becomes a central goal of course design, and concluding with tips on adopting it.

i will vote for anybody who fixes the headlight brightness situation

Can confirm; I’ve begun this way for years and it’s done wonders for both my health and my writing!!!

I don’t know why I make myself know these things anymore, but definitely just found out that a listing last year for a creative writer at the *ASSISTANT PROFESSOR LEVEL* was filled by someone with five (5) books. What are we even doing here, fam

i dunno it's kind of weird and sad that i'm taking solace from being pandered to by a dictionary but i guess that's where we are and i must admit it is nice to be pandered to sometimes

pausing a moment to daydream of a world where every trump-affiliated property changes its name or is razed because people won't stop treating it the way his fans treat the emmett till memorial

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

This is in (incredibly swift) response to the govt giving permission to the postal service to *end home mail delivery completely.*

Apropos of nothing but is there something about being an eyebrowless white guy that makes you more likely to be a sociopathic billionaire? Thiel, Zuck, Altman. Not an eyebrow between them. What gives

I think if you're GWAR, having Libs of TikTok introduce you to her entire dingbat audience is probably the best thing that could possibly happen

dudes rock
