Just working on a NLU module when you decide to spend the downtime reading the docs and you find a casual "the authors would like to thank the torment nexus for its generous support". (it's a stylometry-adjacent task, so it makes sense but... whew)

Woke 2 is officially here

Someone just set off a firework in my neighborhood that sounded loud enough to be a bomb. It’s one week after the fourth.

It turns out you can fix a lot by dancing in an art house theater to Talking Heads, actually.

Day 45/81 Weather: partly cloudy, 69 degrees #roofopen #nice Vibes: 9/10. The bad vibes of flagslop are cancelled out by the immaculate weather and an early BTA beating of Toronto The Canadian mind cannot comprehend the concept of loaded nachos. #Mariners #Seattle

Day 43/81 Weather: Cloudy, 65 degrees. Roof was closed but now is open #roofclopen Vibes: 8/10. Nice weekday energy. 0/3 on the funko pop giveaway but I ain’t complaining. #Mariners #Seattle

Day 42/81 Weather: Partly Cloudy, 66 degrees #roofopen Vibes: 9/10. Bryan Woo, flag patch finally on my jersey, and a win last night buoying our spirits. Also it’s Italianx pride night, really cool to see the Mariners supporting all the colors of the rainbow this pride month! #Mariners #Seattle

geopolitically significant screw job on Iran there.

I need Trump handing Iran the cup at the end of it all. I need this more than life itself.

Seattle Trans Pride

calls with recruiters tmrw for roles that actually look promising. you can tell it's trans pride week.

I think it’s time to call it: the Rooting for Rob experiment has run its course. (Rob Refsnyder is officially the worst hitter ever in the Jerry Dipoto era). (min 100 PAs)

🥺

Probably late to this party but wtf is this scorebug for the white Sox?

Someone brought small children into a screening of “Backrooms”, and I don’t think they know what they’re getting into.

Ain’t no kind of problem a nice beach trip can’t help with. Women? Baseball? Job? Whatever’s getting you down, just go somewhere nice and enjoy the moment. (This has been your mandatory Mira timeline cleanse)

Reading about a trillionaire when I’ve been trying to get a job for going on years really has me in a fucking foul mood lol

[group chat titled "girls Lunch"] @estrogilf : eleven thirty girls what we getting @valerievalerate : wrap. im going wrap mode with chips @ittybittypeepeecomittee : slice pizza Aaron of Bluesky Trust And Safety: how far i gotta scroll for the selfies lmao

5-Year-Old Kojima Tweeting: 10:57: Just Ate "Twix Snickerdoodle". Wow! I enjoyed the subversion of the 'Cookie Element', and the lingering sweet flavor. This dessert makes one question what the nature of COOKIE and CANDY truly is. It is a rare "treat" for fans of the genre.👍 18:32: Ate "Broccoli".

damn I wish I was a knicks fan rn

I need a picture in picture just trained on Larry David 24/7. If there’s a game 6, he needs to join the broadcast crew

What I’ll say about this is: the referendum on Zohran is where most will go, and he deserves every bit of the excoriation that’s coming. However, I read this story as saying something more about the structural limitations of bourgeois democracy as a tool for progressive social change.

As if all the Kalshi/Polymarket stuff wasn’t already enough, it seems that Trump wanted to also try his hands on messing with sports. Specifically, juicing the “no” on “knicks in 4”. www.cbsnews.com/news/securit...

Day 35/81 Weather: cloudy, drizzling #RoofClosing Vibes: 8/10. Would be a 9 but I have yet to get a chance to meet the Mets. Guess I’ll have to go to New York some time. #Mariners #Seattle

Rejected again, from a position that I am literally perfectly qualified for. “The team was really impressed by your project submission, but when pressed, the technical depth wasn’t there”. Either I’m not good enough, or being good enough isn’t enough. Both are hard to sit with. On to the next one

1) free healthcare 2) ending support for the apartheid state 3) wealth tax 4) land/housing reform 5) getting people to stop spending money on an annoying newspaper

Well the #mariners did go out of their way to show a gay engagement and kiss on camera so I guess I’ll let them off the hook for another year.

Normally a #mariners player (usually a big one too) takes the ceremonial first pitch, but when a trans guy came out to give the first pitch today, they sent out the assistant pitching coach to catch it 🤔🤔🤔

Day 33/81 Here and ready to “meet the Mets”. The Mets have yet to show up. I am told that this is common. Sometimes, even, “they don’t show up at all”. Weather: 74 degrees, clear. #RoofOpen Vibes: 9/10. We are so back. #mariners #seattle

Through 36 games, Our Close Personal Friend Rob Refsnyder has bravely fought for 9 hits, and will need 13 hits in 13 games to tie AJ Pollock… In these unprecedented times it’s more important than ever to #Root4Rob! They let Rob get hot!!! We believe in Rob!!! Rob Will Do It!!!

Not a writer but as a professional: I have 100% seen this pattern in hiring since I transitioned. I interviewed at a place where I had already worked before (to glowing reviews), and when it came time for the technical interview, I somehow failed it, when pre transition, I passed easily.

The writers for season 250 of “America” are really running out of ideas.

Talking to the gayest woman I’ve ever met and she’s also from Tennessee and knows country music but says she’s straight. Moving to Georgia once she graduates. Sometimes you spend your whole transition trying to be a girl who’s one of the boys and then you just run into raw, natural talent.

Undergrad, Combinatorics. A professor didn’t like my extra credit submission so much that he deducted points from my grade. Negative credit.

Day 31/81 Weather: Sunny, 61 degrees #roofopen Vibes: 9.5/10. Mariners are so back. My beautiful boy is dealing. #Mariners #Seattle

Day 30/81 Weather: Overcast, 59 degrees #RoofClosed Vibes: 8/10. Bad weather but we are so back in first place. Ready to get kicked in the mariners again #Mariners #Seattle

short thread on why "biological advantages" are code for transphobia. we wouldn't accept anyone talking like this about any other category of woman - but when it's trans women, suddenly the calipers come out and the phrenologists want to talk about "male puberty".

Oh! I had my first iris of the year today too! ❤️

One thing I love about TERFs is that they can’t help but tell you what they are. They’re simply too hateful to keep up the act for even a single tweet. Inevitably they have to sneak some misgendering in, or use one of their weird phrases that give it away. Very helpful for rooting them out.

if you are a trans reader of mine and you struggle to explain to cis family and friends why you hurt so much lately I wrote this so you can send it to them. I feel like we know this pain intimately but I want everyone to understand it, because we are going to need help if it’s ever going to stop.

Indoctrination theory is true. The ending of ME3 wasn’t entirely a hallucination, but parts of it probably were. Shepard should be viewed as an unreliable narrator, especially towards the end of the game. Destroy was the correct ending to choose, and the star child was lying about EDI and the Geth.

We here at Light Bat Industries glow with pride and gratitude as Comrade Colt lashes baseballs at the western corruption of Capitalism.

rare Mira wife moment (and sad backstory, you are forewarned)

“Socialism or barbarism” has a lesser known corollary, “accelerationism or doomerism”. Specifically, there are two ways to process the absurdities of the heightening contradictions. Each new low leads to 10,000 more libs ready for the guillotines. We are all accelerationists now, and not by choice.

in case you're searching and confused as I am: juniper blessing reportedly used she/they pronouns. The family seems to be using they/them. whether or not this is degendering/misgendering, we simply do not know unless anyone who knew her better can come forward and share.
