looking at an envelope from the U.S. government, i thought “oh no, they found me…” until i remembered i just ordered a new passport

New AI google going about as well as expected.

i’m up early to watch drag race but miss ivy was still yelling at me after food so i had to chase her around the house with a toy and then scoop her up and put her on the couch with me… is that what she wanted???

i thought the cat was going to sit with me nicely but then she tried to go for the q-tip on the nightstand…….. absolutely jonesing for human earwax. so funny.

I threw this together for a friend real quick, but I'm sure others will find it helpful :> Behold, a very unscientific tutorial on how I draw bird wings

Marjane Satrapi 1969-2026

Smut with a side of theory...you know, balance. 🫦🧠 Our annual Givebutter Pride Fundraiser is LIVE so it's time to make good use of the group chat to rope the homies into joining your fundraising team. 💖 https://xqa.onlypult.me/j7Qe Click the 🔗 👆if you think queer theory and smut should kiss xox

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

(1) incredible they reviewed Ran the same episode (2) amazing how the Clue endings screened in separate theaters played with them, i get it, even though i of course love the clue multiple endings (3) should i make students do parody videos of these

no healthcare no vacations no energy no video games no jobs no steaks no housing no porn

every time behind the bastards does a San Francisco based cult, there’s one point where i’m like “well a lot of this could be avoided if people could afford rent”

“What’s your Hate Language?” “Gift-giving.”

all of our greatest heroes become no more than dust before our eyes

my apartment’s MAGA super (nice guy lol) mentioned wanting to go to Canada… uh oh. are we invading.

It’s early, but still safe to say that this is one of the most important articles about constitutional law that will be published this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being the most, full stop. yalelawjournal.org/feature/the-...

what minors?? there are no minors here

Starting tomorrow 🙂‍↕️ 🏃🏿🏳️‍🌈

It took me a while to realise that when American friends spoke of the need for more walkable cities in certain parts of the US, they often didn't mean more and better footpaths so much as "You literally cannot move around on foot here. Please fix that."

today’s cat update: she stole three bites of chicken from me and then threw it up immediately 🙏

i was talking to my mom about my procrastination problems: her: when i’m asked to do something, i’m so excited to do it, i do it right away me: yeah, i just never want to do what i’m supposed to do her: yes. well, you have a lot of interests.

i’m on an academic co-writing zoom (The Academic Writer’s Space) with my favorite coach, Kevin, and someone made a 6-7 joke in the chat and Kevin had never heard of it… he’s the world’s last true innocent. that’s why he’s able to make such good academic coaching powerpoints.

it’s cool that the “giving them a fake laptop so they can mirror you instead of bothering you” thing works for other people’s cats, but unfortunately my cat is not a fucking idiot

sprinkle in a little “thing, japan” and this will be a winner

A Snake Sculpture 6th-11th Century AD, from U Thong Thailand.

lmao

yeah man did you hear? the guy casting shadows in plato's allegory of the cave got cancelled for casting problematic shadows. yeah its really fucked up especially given that the shadows cast on the wall of the cave are basically the same thing as real things outside of the cave

supposed to transition the cat to hydrolyzed protein food but she is honestly so annoying about it. how do i explain to the vet how annoying she is.

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

this same basic logic caused the OceanGate disaster

the guy from the cleaners who picks up my laundry was flirting with me but i cannot pursue it because i need him for the laundry………..

ominous

Most importantly it gave execs who were good at their job cover to bring back TV they knew the viewers wanted and execs who were bad at their job -- some of whom actively broke networks they used to be in charge of -- an irrefutable data point, something to mimic and then pretend they always loved.

the crew behind VLC are legit heroes. they've been offered millions (tens of millions?) to sell VLC or incorporate advertising and every time they've said, nah, we like that our video player is free software for everyone on the planet

i've been at a university writing retreat all week 9-5 every day and this morning i was like... people with normal jobs do this every week. go to a place outside of their house and stare at computer. and it's not even work they care about. that's terrible.

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

I will never stop talking about this: The lovely and profound "If we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known" is from an NYT article about the author accidentally being CC'd on an email where his friends were making fun of him for renting goats.

Social Media in 2035

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

i went to go check on her because she wasn’t screaming at me. she’s fine. and now? she’s screaming at me.

thinking about this tumblr post (www.tumblr.com/bumblebeebat...)

sure gas is headed to $8/gallon but at least cornell got rid of their gender studies classes. or at least i think they did, i haven’t checked and if im being honest i wouldnt really know if they had or hadnt because it doesnt affect me but it makes $8/gallon gas all worth it
