I gotta say, DeepSeek is the only LLM that I’ve been impressed with. You can ask it pretty deep philosophical or technical questions and it handles them well 95% of the time.

No one cares about a building. The American left will continue wasting its time fetishizing MUH NORMS ‘N INSTITUTIONS, instead of exploiting the obvious imagery to raise class consciousness. “The government is shut down, but they continue their gilded ballroom and buying $100M jets.”

I for one love seeing people wearing a cross yelling slurs and giving people the finger. Very Christ-like and great for spreading the gospel

What the heck, Inspector Montalbano is an *insanely* good detective show

When all your ESL students pass their first test with an 85% average

Spending time studying dialectics and was having a hard time thinking of examples until I realized that real estate market cycles are like the perfect example: Supply and demand are the principal contradiction (and opposites in struggle), vacancy is the quantitative change that leads to qualitative

Gold and bonds up while tech is up? Head for the hills

Instead of tearing down Dallas City Hall…

Finally saw Secrets & Lies on #criterion and my eyes are raw from all the crying. What a film.

María Corina Machado dedicating her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump is a real cherry on top of this whole farce. 🤡🤡🤡

Giving the Nobel Peace Prize to someone who supported the illegal killings of her own country’s fishermen? Just another day in clown world.

Perfect justice is coming for comedians like Bill Burr: People will now react differently to their performance, making comedy joyless. These comedians will try new material, but without a working feedback mechanism, they’ll be stuck in a rut. They’ll still make money, but they’ll become miserable.

Also: even our ginger tabby who never sleeps in the bed likes sleeping in the bed now

We got some Ralph Lauren bed sheets this weekend and asdfghklzxcv we sleep so good now

Time for a replacement phone and I had to go with another iPhone 13 mini. I love being able to do everything with one hand comfortably. Needing two hands to hold a phone just feels wrong. Imagine Kirk holding a communicator with two hands. Not so futuristic, eh?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS THE OPPOSITION 😂😂😂😂😂

It’s easy enough to criticize toxic male figures like Andrew Tate, but what are you doing to guide or support struggling young men around you?

The reactionaries doing their thing isn’t surprising, but watching how much the corporate types are overreacting has me wondering what they’re so worried about. 🤔

Real “CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME” energy floating around right now

Here’s how to make Bluesky useable again: add [REDACTED] to your muted words and tags

Bluesky has become unusable

This América vs. Chivas game ended up a nail biter

>still no iPhone 17 mini Hard pass

Yo leftists: stop dissecting the destruction and start motivating the masses.

“if I fix this garbage disposal, will I be the sexiest man in the world?” “Yes” *disposal growls like normal* “Sexiest man all finished here”

For anyone who cares: Beluga vodka has maintained its excellent quality since moving its distillery from Russia to Montenegro.

TIL Unicode has a “hammer and sickle” character ☭

I’ll be smoking a cigarette for the first time in years if it happens. IYKYK

“I, Claudius” : it’s 75 minutes of people talking every episode, and yet it’s absolutely riveting. It’s like theater on TV

Can’t believe I slept on the Watchmen series. This is lit.

Stagflation will be weirdly pro-growth for Dallas just as it was 50 years ago. Companies turn to the cost efficiencies of relocating when top-line revenue growth can’t deliver.

Giving some strong thought to relocating to Chicago. We’re thinking Pilsen 🤔

Every time I get an email from my doctor titled “Statement from Doctor X”, I think “oh crap what happened where they had to hire a crisis manager for PR”

“Not to sound like a Dallas snob, but I hardly go north of 635 these days. Oh who am I kidding, I’ll go as far as Belt Line”

In America, billionaires want us to thank them for a job, and then thank them for the privilege of giving them all our money to survive

“Oh no muh independent Fed” Same people that control the Fed are the ones pulling Trump’s strings. It’s about time the naive were disabused of the notion these were ever “our” institutions

Obligatory aurora borealis

Here’s my hot take on the rebranding of an irrelevant restaurant:

The only thing worse than reading AI-written drivel will be wading through sloppy AI-generated spreadsheets. Just let us make them from scratch 😩

In light of Chris Pratt’s recent idiocy, I will continue my half decade-long boycott of superhero and comic book trash movies.

Listening to the history of the Russian Revolution and Chinese Civil War have me re-evaluating a lot of things I thought I knew about history

“AI” is just the new search engine. Write niche content and you’ll be the expert of the future in whatever field you’re in.

Just finished The Orville and a rewatch of Babylon 5. Now what am I going to do 😢

So after a rough start, Season 3 of The Orville is amazing. Hulu really gave them a big budget and it shows

Is The Orville Season 3 another casualty of the pandemic? The dark, serious turn is strange, everyone is angry for silly reasons, and now everyone is talking at Voyager-levels of technobabble

Penny Johnson Jerald is stunning in The Orville 🫠

This year Summer S’mores *is* really bad. Although I do feel like Conan is making a bit about talking up the WORST chocolate in the world

Giving The Orville a watch for the first time

+1 for King of the Hill getting DFW International Airport down to a T
