Sure, why not?

Go read some French philosophy and go to therapy

I really need to become independently wealthy, so I can act on my best ideas.

CEDDANNE! Playoffs, baby! #RedSox

Chapman! 🥰🥰🥰 #RedSox

JARREN DURAN! 🎉

Whitlock! LFG, #RedSox!

Is the world better, yet?

Noooooo! #RedSox

Oh, I want one!

I guess the A's are going to make us do this the hard way. #RedSox

Present-day West Coast startup culture is so much grosser than late 1990s East Coast startup culture:

NEW: A Senate report has shocking new detail on how DOGE—which is very much still active, even as government agencies deny it even exists—put Social Security at up to 65% risk of a catastrophic data breach, per agency estimates, as well as viscerally disgusting detail on its sleeping arrangements.

As a wannabe psychophysicist, this sounds so nerdily exciting.

I have not slept, because it has been raining, and the sound of rain on this roof is torture.

The world was pretty f*cked up when I was younger, too, but at least we had roller disco and the New Romantics.

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint. She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

What is happening?!? #RedSox #BlueJays

We live in ridiculously stupid times.

@ucmerced.bsky.social Bobcats! Join us next Monday (9/29) for MTS Guest Speaker Sarah Creel (CogSci Professor at @ucsandiego.bsky.social) presenting on how learners figure out the structure of sound patterns in spoken language across a wide variety of speakers! Details in the flyer!

Crowded train, long trip, seat 4, if I can get it. Crowded train, short trip, stand or seat 1, so I can get to the door. NYC train doors close quickly, and do not have a safety re-open if you stick your hand in them. You can lose an arm. Empty train, seat 2, unless it is sticky.

I wish LLM shit wasn't dominating the discussion on social media. There are so many cooler AI things going on in robotics.

Ok... now, maybe.

Feature request: a little line drawing of a fish on a hook I can click to label posts as bait.

Ages ago, I rode a daily MBTA express bus from Alewife to Billerica (and then walked the rest of the way to an office park for my eye tracking tech job) and my seat mate was this nearly-retired guy from Sun Microsystems. I never learned his name, but we knew each others' coffee orders at Dunkin'.

A walk-on role in the delusions of the super-rich.

I just noticed the gender-neutral lyrics in the Canadian national anthem. #RedSox #BlueJays

What an absolute moron.

I wonder what he will joke about, since absolutely nothing ridicule-able happened today...

We're looking for a pixel animator to help season the graves 👀 Unity experience definitely a plus!

I kind of still want the Ferris wheel, though...

I am going to go out on a limb, and speculate that it is more likely that fever during the second trimester causes both the higher risk of autism and the consumption of Tylenol.

It's that time! (By Roz Chast)

Now, he just has to build the even bigger computer that will come after this one to determine the question.

Tonight's bedtime reading... seems useful: arxiv.org/pdf/2407.08590

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

I was going to type: "At least, I'm not boring." But maybe I am boring.

I wrote about how Facebook (née Meta) destroys everything a while back - based in part on my experiences in the early 2010s as a reporter in Southeast Asia - and each month, each day, they somehow manage to find new ways to become more evil. little-flying-robots.ghost.io/facebook-des...

More than anything else, I object to this president stealing our time and attention. We can’t even have a Sunday morning without hearing about some insane thing he said and wondering if that insane thing will become real because he’s insane.

I will admit not knowing that Farm Aid concerts were still a thing.

My nephew's team won their football game, today, 68-0.

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Multiple people have been shot at the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, New Hampshire, according to the city’s police department. www.cnn.com/2025/09/20/u...

And which Department will be providing and overseeing the education funding to the States? (Is it the firearms one?)

And which Department will be providing and overseeing the funds to the States?

Clearly, no self-respecting journalist would sign this... but as a thought experiment: Couldn't a news outlet just have one sacrificial lamb sign the pledge and show up for Pentagon briefings, and then the rest of the newsroom can gather info from wherever the hell it wants, for separate articles?

If a video is on the internet, it is in the training data. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
