I successfully defended my PhD yesterday

Never underestimate the power of a bit of white distilled vinegar in a rice-based dish. Really makes things pop.

Finally starting to understand the transition from Kant to Hegel in more clear detail.

Started working on a script for a 10-minute video on how to read philosophy and it's currently at 40 minutes.

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long while

Butter lettuce remains undefeated

What testifies to the authenticity of an experience, it always seems to me, I’m not saying that there is no other way, but what testifies as the first guarantee of the authenticity of an experience is the splendor of the pages, or of the works, however small they may be, that flows from them.

What is the best thing to read, insight per page, on media ecology?

Good morning✌️🍀

Ugh I'm sick

Figured out why I'm not good at posting anymore. (I don't drink much anymore.)

Foxy Shazam didn't give us an encore tonight, but I think it's because the lead singer ate 4 lit cigarettes halfway through. Good show!

No game needs to look better than Red Dead Redemption 2, a game my PC runs perfectly fine. If my computer can’t run your game that is your problem and I will not be subsidizing your poor development decisions.

Where is God hiding? We need to get revenge.

Just turned in a dissertation draft, please clap 👏🏼

This #gorilla shows impressive balance as it reaches for leaves, standing on one foot like a #ballerina. Gorillas are known for their remarkable agility and strength, and this moment highlights their ability to move gracefully despite their size.

Carney being Prime Minister when the dollar is slowly backsliding as reserve currency is one of those Chekov's guns if he wins the election later this month

Kurt Vonnegut man

There's some irony there in how executives on the games industry were thinking that AI would make games cheaper, but then Trump used AI to calculate the tariffs that will make games more expensive.

imagine sisyphus trotting cutely and proving love

Trump says things that put people's lives in danger. The right response is earnest regard for liberty and justice. Cringe? The fuck does cringe have to do with it?

We need real and symbolic action in tandem. For better or for worse, human brains run on narratives.

Five authors I've read 5+ books from: Søren Kierkegaard Sigmund Freud Paul Tillich Stephen King Brandon Sanderson I'm not a voracious reader, so the total number of authors I've read 5+ books from is probably very small.

We're doing it, folks.

Currently writing on Evagrius, Anselm, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross and... David Lynch.

Have been keeping my head down just trying to crank out this dissertation over the last week or so. It's been slow going for a long time, but it's going to be done by end of April. Tomorrow I'm doing a writing retreat in my living room. I want to have the structure finalized by the end of the day.

This would have killed on Twitter

My dog loves the 24/7 Pawn Stars channel on Samsung TV Plus.

Sometimes 3 strong beers, a plate of wings and appetizers, live music, and a beautiful conversation really helps your nervous system reset.

Pretty fucking sad that an academic institution, @columbiauniversity.bsky.social , immediately rolled belly up for a wannabe fascist.

Writers aren't usually this self-aware. At 27, Steinbeck wrote in a letter to a friend: "I think I shall write some very good books indeed. The next one won't be good nor the next one, but about the fifth, I think will be above the average."

Decades of progressive vibes without progressive policies have left the Democrats incredibly vulnerable to attacks from the right. Right wing propaganda viciously targets the Democrats’ vibes but nobody can point to policies that actually help people as a defense.

as far as i'm concerned the entire purpose of the american experiment is to provide chuck schumer with a job that's not too challenging, yet rewarding and fun. and i hate to put it to you like this, but every criticism you post, and every phone call you make to his office, gets in the way of that

I need the world to pause until I get this writing done.

People have commented before on how the prequels making Yoda a super fast ninja Jedi takes away from the idea of a small surprising creature possessing great wisdom and power despite his physical limitations and my solution would be if Yoda just had an uzi and was shooting everyone

Why would they need too? Their bones are their money

Literally just got a new phone (Google pixel 8a) a couple months ago and now it's saying I don't have a SIM card (I do). You can't win.

It’s super fun that we get to run a real time experiment in just how far Republican Congresspeople are willing to go for Trump

If it's necessary for a dignified life, socialize it. Get the damn profit motive OUTTA there!

That James Carville, the boomer id of the Democratic Party, thinks we should roll over and play dead is the perfect symbol for why we so badly need a generational shift in power. Get outta here my dude. You don't have the skills or stomach for this.
