my wokest opinion is that land acknowledgements are fine. people knowing a little bit about the land you're on, even if one isn't invested in a land back project, is not particularly worse than the status quo, even if one comes by this info in a way that is somewhat cringe and forced

Sorry but it's extra funny the NYT is running a glamour profile on RFKs mistress/reporter the day after people were going to the mattresses defending their ethics surrounding the Epstein cover up

larry's razor is when you enumerate every possibility and say they're equally likely (excluding what will actually happen)

This is the kind of financial advice that elites paid Epstein hundreds of millions of dollars for, by the way!

"inflation is a concept from the 50s [...] soooo dumb"

Oh sure just add a little of the pasta water to the sauce it tastes great everyone loves it nothing bad will ever come of it. It will never turn into an entire ideology that will consume every food in existence. Don't worry it's fine just a little pasta water

why cant i go to a single fucking bar that isnt hosting trivia

why are you, an academic publisher, selling pdfs of papers with clearly defined sections that lack bookmarks?

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

my laptop's power button is right next to the backspace key, which really ups the drama when i decide "i guess i WONT make this snarky email comment"

if you are a pedophile and have ever received an email from me, please come forward NOW, its time to clear the air

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

Wdym incredibly minor plot point? He was giving Epstein info about what the NYtimes was working on and advising him on how to counter it??

genuinely very few things more satisfying than reading the kinds of emails rich and famous people send each other

happy model convergence day to all who celebrate (me)

boomer email style will be studied for centuries to come. like what if when they invented paper every peasant left behind shit like "good harvest this year ... not to o bad weether either.. cow's dead / missing, will she turnd uo?"

these emails are all gross and horrible, but trump being so much of a pedophile that he runs across the room at the chance to oggle and slams into a glass door is, admittedly, funny

Putting aside all the horrible shit in them: I cannot believe the global elite composes emails like fucking horses who somehow learned to crudely type. My emails read like Shakespeare compared to the lowercased, unpunctuated screeds written to the worlds biggest pedophile. Fucking write like adults!

sorry but i'm going to need to see the pullman/jillette/kahneman episode asap

Jeffrey Epstein the first person to ever confess to a crime in Wingdings

people complain about the journal of controversial ideas, but they have managed to really streamline the peer review process and i think that's awesome

watching jeopardy closely to determine which contestant in each episode is evil

terminal Math Brain truly is a cancer that is eating the world

i hate the computer. man was not meant to assert. he was meant to love.

There is a lot of fuss today over whether chatbots can replace human participants in social sciences research when the solution is obvious: ask chatbots to simulate the views of social scientists and survey them on attitudes towards chatbots as substitutes for human subjects.

I'm gonna say this as gently as possible. Would you ask people the age of Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi to plan a party for you, then run to the grocery store for you and pick up a few mixers and a case of beer? Probably not, because they're very old. Anyway, they're in charge of defeating fascism.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

lmao even richie torres thinks this was a bad idea. do you know how bad you have to screw up for richie torres to be right?

lmao i tried to rewteet the JCO dunk and got an "error" suggesting that my behavior was bot-like and i should try again later. one of the most not-mad error messages i've ever seen.

imagining november 10 drag show titled "gails of november"

ice cubes are ridiculous. like yeah lemme just get a piece of water

It should be acceptable to interrupt the other person in a conversation if what you have to say is more interesting

I know BlueSky has problems with humour so just to be clear: I, like everyone else, am aware that postdocs aren't real. I'm not spreading misinformation when I refer to them as if they exist, they're jokes and everyone knows that. Chill, ok?

hello graph police i would like to report a murder

startling lack of tweed at basically every academic conference ive ever been to

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

The Everything App gives me an error message every time I try to post lately. But that's okay, I use The Everything App for lots more than posting, such as...

NYT pays approximately 10,000 idiot columns six figures to write about the juice that leaks out their ass while every outlet in the country runs news with 1 part-time reporter.

A cool Interesting Times topic would be "We Put Ross Douthat Into One of Those Drive-Thru Tubes at the Bank, and this is the Sound it Made When We Pushed the Button"

This map is highly misleading. In the American electoral system, votes don't influence policy.

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

of course, we should keep in mind that mamdani's success in NYC means nothing for the rest of the country, where there are no young voters.

Capitalism is now illegal

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

Welcome PAC wonks desperately planning Welcome Fest Two
