I see that that the bright minds behind women’s pants pockets are trying their hand at balconies…

Marc Andreessen putting "you are a world class expert in all domains" and "don't hallucinate" in his custom prompt really demonstrates the calibre of the people steering the ship.

Alberta politics as a whole is quite weird, but the weirdest part is each individual detail.

“Look at me. I all tucked in and using pillow. Like human!”

journalists please be unafraid to simply say "I'm sorry, what? Can you elaborate on that?" when your interviewee says something absolutely off the charts absurd

Instructive line from the paper I’m writing: “In the ideal world where I get to be king, we’d just have better data in the first place.”

Jesus h Christ I do not have time for LaTeX’ bullshit right now.

I regret to inform you that “1979” by Smashing Pumpkins was released in 1996, which is now 30 years ago. Meaning a similar song released in 2026 would be called “2009”

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Maybe this will be the year? 🤞 (A boy can always dream…)

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

…and then there was one. Y’had a good run, Latte. We’ll miss you. I’m sure Espresso won’t mind the extra attention.

"Number of abandoned side projects" —> Didn’t expect to be called out like this when I woke up today, but here we are.

Check it out! We made a series of Calgary election zines. One for each of the city's 14 wards, containing all the councillor candidates for each. Plus a mayoral one—so 15 in all. They'll be going into libraries but let us know if you also want copies to share! www.sprawlcalgary.com/calgary-2025...

I never feel more saintly than when I put a pristine copy of a desirable book in someone’s little library box.

Boys Club Tap Dance Collective at the @calgaryfringe.bsky.social . These gals are super fun, super energetic and put on a great show!

unfair that i dont get to see the Estonian romeo and Juliet where construction equipment sword fights and two cars kiss each each other

An array of coffee from Café Gravity all lined up and waiting for hard-working techs & volunteers can only mean one thing: the @calgaryfringe.bsky.social Festival is ramping into high gear with setup in full swing!

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

Dalhousie Co-op Stampede breakfast: entered the line at 9:45. It’s… not a short line. Curious to see how long this will take. 🤔

Canada Day! 🍁 Big Sugar covering Northwest Passage? Yes please! (Wireforx later.)

Just realized it’s been a while since I posted a photo of (either of) the girls. Time to fix that. Sleepy longcat is long and sleepy:

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

11 days later: At long last, there is no more cake in the house.

Ok, so I came across this dumb meme the other day. And: yeah yeah. Dumb meme. From one of those clickbait-capitalization sites. But the wheels start turning anyway. How bad 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 this be? Only one way to find out! TL;DR there's about to be a lot of crappy cake in this house. #forScience

Lazy Wednesday afternoon.

LLMs basically distill the idea that debate is mostly vacuous with truth an unnecessary component. Biggest loss by debate club ever.

Oh, you know, a bobcat, just casually strolling across the street… #justCalgaryThings

Doing our best to stave off the forces of anti-democracy and repression…

"Diversity is discrimination" is literally Orwellian language, like "war is peace, hate is love, slavery is freedom." You can find it at civilrights.justice.gov

The new hotness is blocking accounts that conform with one's politics but are clearly farming outrage and fear. They might be bots! They might not be! But whatever they are, they're not helping!

I invented a game. It’s called 4 x 3. It’s like connections except that there are three words in each category, there are four categories, and one word is in all four categories. Easy mode is when you know the special word. Hard is when you don’t.

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years. Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism. May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

Same, cat. Same.

Exploring a castle, as warriors-turned-into-mice, in #MiceAndMystics. We are… not doing so hot, and barely escaped a mid-chapter run in with a tomcat by the skin of our teeth. For various reasons, probably not doing an Eid ul-Fitr party this year. But still getting some weekend board gaming in…
