going into your nests, borrowing your shiny things; that’s me

god-tier subtweeting on main

I’m lying; stabbing my face periodically with needles remains an ongoing project

A taxonomy of AI aversion presents labels (AI hater, AI vegan/vegetarian) and voices like Sean Boots, Jenny Zhang and Anthony Moser, summarizing critiques—IP risks, low-quality outputs, hidden labor, environmental costs and potential job displacement affecting adoption and policy.

sometimes they cut the toasties in half at Pret; sometimes they do not today is an uncut day, so to speak

This is the warning on the blood pressure monitor my dad just got. Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean? Last line is especially ominous

Adding a line of achievement to my annual review as I can say with some confidence that I always ‘avoid taking multiple pieces of fruit in one sitting’. 👍

The Lancet playing the long game here

the fragility, majesty, authority and froideur of Neil Tennant’s voice in Later Tonight are pretty much the entire basis of my (hilariously ill-achieved) aesthetic m.youtube.com/watch?v=ecyK...

ok so I’m cool with partnering with Anthropic now, brb let me know if anything changes

an improv group wrote the code i've been having an improv group summarize books for me, i've gotten through 23 this week

this whole spiralling, deranging thread is improv comedy levels of genius

out of bed at half-past ten the party animal phones a friend picks up the news about the sun and the working day has just begun

here it is, the relatable theorisation I’ve been looking for all these years

one way trigger is the best Strokes song, fight me

one of the fringe advantages of perimenopause is being so extremely awake at 4am that you may as well head in to London for astanga at half six, hell yeah

running on fumes and Hi-NRG, the sheer innovation of it all

you’re no good for me I don’t need nobody don’t need no one that’s no good for me is very much the mood I need today

here we go, here we go, here we … go teaching innovation with knobs on / unexpected punctuation in the course title

Getting the four-year-old into the 909 classics this morning on the Greene ‘End of the Affair’ principle that, like a secret baptism, I hope it will ‘take’ in the end.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
