Pretty clear that Chevalier's interracial couple tweet was just a femcel moment given that she's in an interracial relationship

Vegan frikandelbroodje is the best snack food because you get to eat frikandelbroodje without feeling like a chav about it.

I was bored, so I made a survivorship graph for my PhD cohort.

"we've got some scandalous senate candidate news!" "which state?" "maine" "oh god oh fuck" "no no, the other maine senate candidate"

DSA's (former) stance on USAID has not done any IRL harm. But if you think it doesn't matter, you're claiming that either: 1) There's been a huge internal shift in 3 years 2) DSA's official positions cannot be taken at face value 3) DSA electeds are not actually accountable to it on foreign policy

Trump: It's not working! Why don't they love the fair? How do I make the crowds cheer? Oracle of DC: If you test your strength against the heat with a very long speech, the nation will celebrate harder than they ever have. They will party in the streets. No one will ever forget the night.

Gonna take a break from the internet for a few days (everything's fine; i'm just scrolling a bit too much for my liking). Will check DMs sporadically.

Supreme Court rules Führerprinzip is real but does not apply to brokerage accounts

This is a really really weird way to be thinking about people I'm sorry

fixed your headline

Before anyone gets too, um, "excited", the actual claim is that MGP was chair of the Reed student senate's finance committee when they approved funding for (among many other events) the BDSM club's "fetish ball". Their source is this tweet from 2012; no evidence she actually participated.

living in the US: It'd be nice if some of our elected leaders would Learn Statistical Mechanics. living in Europe: It'd be nice if some of our elected leaders would learn statistical mechanics.

I haven't laughed this hard in a while nesbitt.io/2026/02/03/i... nesbitt.io/2026/06/26/i...

When I was in high school it was illegal for me to get married

the purest artifact of high millennial cultural is broad city imo

ngl I think it's a bad look for Abughazaleh to be so publicly unconcerned with Shrimp Welfare

hmm.

This is just leftist madlibs, less world knowledge and more of a stochastic parrot than GPT2.

"AC discourse is American chauvinism" is true but not in the way you think. "This isn't really that hot" is something you hear from Southerners, so as a northern chauvinist, being militantly pro-AC is part of how I signal I would've fought for the union.

it's true, it's impossible for an ordinary person to install anything in a masonry building, you need a hammer drill ($45 at Harbor Freight*) instead of a normal hand drill ($20 at Harbor Freight) *substitute with the cheap hardware store in your country of choice

Goose value: 71

Finally got around to ascending in the new update (elven wizard). It's good! Lost my first couple runs because I didn't realize cornered monsters ignore Elbereth now, lmao.

holy shit bsky has a water sealant expert that predicted the reflecting pool failure mode perfectly

it's less that i am impressed with claude here so much as i think the closeted are, generically, susceptible to confidantes with infinite patience

claude has authority as a relatively neutral party and infinite patience for talking to people about their weird self-loathing so it's possible this will become an entire future genre of transition stories

Graphic design is my passion.

I guess what gets me about this sort of thing is that people keep writing these sorts of things like we’re still in Peak Woke when we are in year 10 of the entire world revolving around the king of rapists.

I spent the last month obsessed with finding colors that can't be displayed on a conventional screen. This is what I found. moultano.wordpress.com/2026/06/19/w...

*zookeeper who inexplicably got hired to work a nuclear centrifuge voice* so I need to give the uranium, like, a ball to play with or a tire swing or something?!

This is a cold take on TPOB, but I do not like old buildings with "character". I do not like crooked floors, poorly-insulated plaster walls, or twisty stairwells that make it impossible to transport a desk upstairs in one piece. I do not like freestanding AC units or hand-washing dishes.

“Singing a song for the cause is cringe” WHICH SIDE ARE YOU OOOOOOOOON WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ONNNNNN

the 'heh, look at these cringes voting' shit is just more evidence for my thesis that pretty much everyone would be happier if a lot of folks putatively into politics just got really into like avant-garde art/music scenes or something, where you can exclude lames to your heart's content

I love that downtown New Haven manages to be shit for driving, cycling, AND walking.

As far as I can tell this is just entirely made up? Provo city Utah swung right in 2020-2024.

Was prepared to vote for DeLauro's challenger despite the kook vibes, but yeah, clearly not a serious person. Nice to have it out in the open if he makes the primary ballot, I guess. www.newhavenindependent.org/2026/06/18/r...

The crux of the issue is that you can see stuff like this on Instagram reels without really going looking for it

one thing i genuinely wish both Labour and Dems would do is stop over-relying on electoral gurus like Morgan McSweeney and actually hire political scientists and sociologists to investigate "okay, how does class formation happen now, and how does it shape political votes? how do we win?"

nix, like polyamory, is actually taking up emotional labor as a hobby. this is why it's popular with the same people

This post is very funny because if you take the argument seriously ("infinite TAM => infinite revenue => high #$SPCX valuation from fundamentals"), you can do a DCF valuation where revenue scales with the lightcone size, and you get something/r^4. So it's mostly just a fancy interest rate derivative.

What else would people add to this? I'm also adding "Isserlis's Theorem (Probability) = Wick's Theorem (QFT)" I remember someone (maybe @coexact.bsky.social) had a QFT equivalent for the Ito convention?

Here's a New York city councilmember threatening to get a bunch of grad students in trouble with the university administration because he doesn't like the recommendations in their research project. Wildly inappropriate IMO and CUNY should tell him to pound sand.

Learning more about how taxes work for PhD students on F-1 visas, and holy shit we need to [REDACTED] the nativists

my most millennial trait is that it irritates me to no end when something can only be done on my phone and not on my laptop

it is extremely heartening to see the NYC left wholeheartedly embrace YIMBY policies to bring down rents. it’s also politically smart for two reasons: 1) it gives them an angle to attack NIMBY establishment pols 2) the people who move into these new buildings are typically very left leaning

Anyone have advice for keeping unused semaglutide pens cold on a long flight?

as a professional Scale Understander, I do not appreciate the way in which VCs have made a mockery of my culture

Very dumb question, but what do the different ranks in English nobility actually mean? If an earl becomes a marquess, do they get any additional perks, or is it just a flashier title?

My software? Open My courseware? Open My Society? Open My foot yesterday after banging it in some rocks because some idiot was standing in the entrance channel to the water? You guessed it, open.

I wonder how closely the transition from Peskin & Schroeder to Schwartz mirrors the transition Bjorken & Drell to P&S that happened 20-30 years ago.
