Does Jiro Dream Of Electric Sushi?

"Why are audiences not coming back fro second season of our shows?" "Because they're waiting to see if you cancel it like everything else, and also there's too long a gap between seasons." "No, that can't be it."

They didn't leave Boston. They didn't leave New York City. They didn't even stop buying empty apartments and houses in New York City when those got an extra tax. They're not going to leave California.

Jevons paradox on the roof

Ketchup or relish. I am so basic. But I will never again eat them with sandwich bread. Kids who had parents who refused to spend extra on buns understand this trauma.

I really believed I couldn’t love Betty Gilpin more. I thought that gauge was pinned at 10. Apparently it can go to 100. I missed this in October. I had no idea she was such a great writer. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

misogyny is more common among men, for pretty obvious reasons. but women can be misogynist too, just like Clarence Thomas can be a white supremacist. identity often inflects how we interact with ideology, but it's not the whole thing.

Raw chopped onions OR fried strips of onion. They are separate categories.

Life should be so much better given how expensive it is.

Our latest talks (and debates!) the transmedia extravaganza around the wedding of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. #SpiderMan #ComicsStudies

"executives with no understanding of the industry" seems to be an endemic problem across industries: higher education, medicine, you name it, a bunch of suits with MBAs and unearned arrogance are destroying everything around us, and for some reason, we're supposed to accept that they know best

For those who don't know (other white ppl?), this is more administrative racism; pseudofolliculitis mostly affects Black men and other people of color, so ending permanent shaving wavers will make the armed forces more white

Saw a meme of GenZ baffled by how pre-internet travel worked, and realized we’ve crossed an enshittification threshold where IRL services that once seemed outdated, like travel agents, now seem luxurious: “You meet with a human expert who plans out your whole trip with you” sounds incredible now tbh

I really can't emphasize this enough: William Shakespeare wrote those fucking plays. Christopher Marlowe is great! Read him! But he's not fucking Shakespeare and it's pretty fucking obvious if you just like... read that shit.

People who are really into LLMs ("AI" if you swallow the marketing language) are expressing a desire for *willing* slaves. #AI #LLM #computers

i dreamed you couldn’t post memes unless they had a wizard in them so i took a short break from work to doodle the one i kept posting on here in the dream

Why are Google Gemini ads allowed in campus buildings? We wouldn't allow cigarettes or vape pens to advertise in campus buildings

Read this 🧵 👇🏻 The heart of the Bonkers Billionaire Beliefs is misanthropy: deeply hating humanity & wanting to replace other people with automatons. These bros see human complexity, emotion, and interpersonal friction as attack on their own claims to supremacy.

@bsky.app @pfrazee.com asking for literal years: how is it that when I enter the correctly spelled name of someone whom I follow and who follows me in the search bar i cannot find them bc turns out they have a title & a middle initial in their handle like guys PLEASE fix the search functionality

Reminder: the right *hates* facts, and fascists try to eliminate any way of determining them, falling back on factionalism. "We're right if we apply more violence to you than you can to us." Now you know.

“Even medical schools have politicized their curricula. Last year, Nature published an editorial calling to ‘decolonize scientific institutions.’” <laugh cry emoji>

Glad soemone is saying it

Ok, so we went through this w/ a short story. Yes, we short-listed an AI story. 😬 During editing, the author couldn't handle any substantive content edits. Ignored editorial comments. Finally, *asked us to do it.* (We refused) It was *bizarre*. 1/?

Someone needs to look that man and his staff directly in the eye and get them to understand that their fathers never have and never will love them, and the sooner they come to terms with it, the better off they and we will all be.

Can someone weigh in on viability of a class action against governments for wasting so much of our time preventing access to records that should be public

I loathe the cult of the car.

"Our movement must be a broad church, yes. But in order to achieve this catholic congress of democratic footsoldiers, we cannot ask over half the population to bear rulership from a man like Platner. We cannot short circuit our commitment to pluralism before we have even won." A+ article from Cross

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Male brains and female brains are all just human brains.

did you know that the English words druid, trust, truth, betroth, and truce all share a root word with “tree”? this reflects the longstanding spiritual and symbolic significance of trees in many European cultures

re Last Boost: I've had students memorize generic essays and then write them in a mid-term/final situation. The essays were written by an LLM. You can tell from how they're written. The student *appeared* confused as to why this was still cheating. They seem to think it's Air Bud rules.

lol devastating. This is exactly how all profs should move here on out, in-person finals with paper and pen. ChatGPT your way outta THAT one.

This is one of the first things Black people called out about driverless cars

DAMN, son. Folks forget Zelenskyy was a satirist prior to his current job.

Lemme explain what the words BELIEVE WOMEN should mean. They don't mean you have to believe women no matter what. They do mean that you have to treat women as a source the same way you'd treat a man.

Kind of insane to me that I will never run for office because I was involved with the adult industry and that feels like too much of a black mark* but someone like Platner is walking around feeling totally electable * Also I don’t hate myself enough to run

😍 LADYHAWKE 😍

I spoke with Mitch McConnell earlier today. He said “ahhhh I’m BURNING, it’s so hot down here. Ohh the flames”

i saw the dude. he was laying in bed but alert. told me, "transgender for everybody" and then smiled while giving an enthusiastic thumbs up.

I won't take down the bad post because that looks like hiding. But please know that I'm truly sorry I disappointed folks who trust me to be more careful. Most of all I'm sorry to the women who came forward only to be disbelieved and smeared. You deserved better and I feel absolutely gutted. 2/2

I truly fucked up not doing my due diligence on Platner before offering high praise for his communication skills. Enough was out there at the time that I should have been more cautious. Especially because I met adventurer dudes like him reporting in Iraq. Deep respect to all who got it right. 1/2
