This thread highlights one of the reasons I’d like to see a shift in energy from campaigns to parties.

This can only end when all of Wrightwood is one museum.

A LotR cover band: Neutral Mirkwood Hotel.

Don’t know when this happened, but it looks like it’s cheaper to buy 128gb thumb drives(~$9) than 128gb blank bdxl BluRay discs(~$10). Doesn’t really seem like they’ll be making a comeback.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Oh heck yeah.

“Trump can’t pardon somebody on state charges.” Sure hope a few other media outlets take note of how this guy isn’t struck by lightning.

HARD BOILED DETECTIVE: another cruel sunrise over the city of the damned. another corpse. another widow. another cup of black coffee to drag my sorry ass back to life- *sputtering* ME: do you like it? it's an ethiopian washed process single origin DETECTIVE: ME: are you getting apricot notes

Looking forward to my customized podcast about the origin of the phrase “Post-truth”

They appear to be admitting that it was never safe to drive (laudatory).

Me when I am attempting to flirt with Shifty Shellshock.

I died just looking at this photo.

Learned today that “Galápagos” comes from a Spanish word for tortoise, meaning that “Galápagos Tortoise” is, in fact, a tortology

The ghosts of Waldo and Goodman heading to the Indiana state house as we speak.

As Jane Jacobs said, they should be wide enough for two children to play jumprope with a robot.

How your latte finds me.

A hard problem with literary data is navigating btwn editions of books and what the "work," or the theoretical text that unites all editions. I've been lucky to work with @thisismattmiller.com and @mellymeldubs.bsky.social, who built a tool to address this + do much more arxiv.org/abs/2512.10165

> I don’t understand how folks … I think you have identified a plausible explanation in the first paragraph of the piece.

They have hot chocolate, they see carolers, hunky librarian shows off his flannel t-shirt, one thing leads to another and they kiss at midnight. Title: "Interlibrary LOVE"

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

Dudes rock.

Perhaps the first empirical observation that AI are better than us: telling them they are a lawyer does not make them worse.

I’m afraid the whole country would end up with California’s fire abatement and earthquake resistance measures, Floridas hurricane resistance requirements, and Massachusetts strict cursing minimums during construction.

This makes a lot more sense, not as a set of specific claims, but as part of a general strategy to sort into a likeminded group of people who don’t trust the government.

My 🍎music wrapped believes that there are only 56,126 minutes between January and August. Very disappointed.

“The public will get interested enough in this to stop this”. Can someone ask Rand Paul how he thinks our system of government works? I don’t mean this sarcastically, I’m genuinely curious what he expects “the public” to do here.

Looking forward to the Netflix show about Robert Mose’s grandmother doing crossword puzzles that is cancelled after the first season.

I was right he did need a top hat.

A personal update: I have been unemployed long enough to finally follow through on a project I've long toyed with. For years, I've been following Minnesota's appellate dockets and posting about notable or interesting cases and decisions. Now, I've spun that off into @minnappct.watch

Quichy France > Vichy France

Start with a national registry of land ownership (not just transfer). Then move on to calculation of land value. Then, having statistics like median land value consumption, charge anyone over ~this quadratically for surplus consumption but allow sale of linear value on a regulated exchange.

@profanity.accountant Have I created enough Mummies for a new generation of bisexuals to emerge?

I think the alternative to these is cars and these seem better than cars to me. Replacing low paying jobs with robots also seems good to me. If you oppose these, I’m curious what you think the alternatives are.

Was with a group of friends that was doing the doling-out-superpowers game (everyone in the group gets a power, no repeats). I was assigned mind reading because “I would never use it”.

Turning on the TV for my niece so she can watch her favorite movie and I can hunt the K-Pop Devil’s Nap.

Happy Blair Witchgiving from the cameraman covering the Macy’s Parade.

Just learned about the mimetic desire -> human sacrifice theory of René Girard’s that Thiel is so big on. Can’t wait til this guy has nukes.

Watching children’s TV with my nieces and I must say that the youth these days are learning some /pretty/ inaccurate things about the conservation of angular momentum.

Making a podcast about them and calling it ToqueTokTalk.

It’s probably worth teasing out how Montreal is different that it works better there.

Merged a final pr for my current job. One of the most satisfying PRs I may have written.
