i would like my body to come up with a way to deal with ambient sociopolitical stress that is not "go into a miscellaneous spasm." this is not productive and i dont like it.

sometimes you hate a person because of public actions they've taken and things they've said to you personally and then you sit down and read something they've written and you are delighted to discover that they are also just dumb as rocks.

im not a trans nihilist, im a trans existentialist, they're different, get it right

when did we start referring to videos of two people talking as "podcasts"? because i hate it.

if they're not new takeout menus that someone shoved in my mailbox no they're not

good.

and of course today is the day i talk to the undergrads about first amendment rights and privately owned public spaces

be ungovernable

semi annual post reminding people you dont have to be ✨fancy✨ rich to support indie media. normal rich is also fine!

All the President's Men is such a beautiful film, goddamn

Post a horror movie everybody should see

man it sure would have been cool if any of the grants i wrote over the past year to study the push to integrate AI and LLMs into government had been funded.

back in november i told a bunch of people to start behaving like HUAC was coming back and i am extremely pissed off to have been right

someone On Here had a study that said that taking an antihistamine just before/after a covid vax cut down on side effects? does anyone have that on hand?

god i am so fucking tired.

today im going to learn a new fingerpicking pattern, read a book for a review i said i'd write, and probably bake a cake. its a nice day outside, i love you all, maybe you should also log off.

anyway i really really hate that the internet subcultures i decided on purpose to not do research on in grad school bc they represented a clear and present danger to me and mine are just, like, here all the time now. feels bad.

it's actually not civil to say that specific groups of people dont have the right to exist. like, that's quite rude actually.

i have BEEN SAYING everybody gets a guitar!!!

logging off before i say something very funny but unfortunately also legally actionable ✌️

anyone who's ever tried to write a theory paper abstract knows its basically impossible fit a decent description of any ideology into less than 250 words

honestly its probably fine that i didnt start playing guitar until last year because it is way more compelling than like 93% of the things that are happening at any given time

today im having fun working out a fingerpicked/acoustic version of blink-182's "i miss you"

yeah im not being online for this. i love you all, im going to eat churros on my porch

it would be cool if people could alt text pictures of that guy with his name so that my mute filter can catch them.

i have lots of notes and they are all here with me, laughing, just out of frame

im terrified of the subway ceiling juice dripping into my eye because that happened once in montreal

i walked fifteen thousand steps today and talked to ten million people and then i bought some tamales from a lady at a window and they are the best thing in the entire world

i see that the actual problem with teaching night classes is that i am extremely hype after class. hm.

i dont take guidance on AI use from people at business schools, fuck all the way off

my very first paid job that wasnt babysitting was as housekeeping staff at a bed and breakfast in my hometown. i was like 14 and got paid eight bucks an hour cash, plus a tip split

if you will be at 4S this week i will also be at 4S! our TECH/MONEY panel series will be running all day (allllllllllll daaaaaaay) Friday! come hang out!

guys what should i wear for the first day of class my shirt that says DONT TALK TO ME ABOUT AI I WILL KILL MYSELF or my tshirt that says THERE ARE NO DISTRACTIONS ITS ALL BAD

my brain is currently insisting very loudly that tom hardy recorded a cover of Maybe This Time from Caberet in the Venom voice which i dont think is true but would be extremely fun

the calculator app on my phone changed its display font for no reason and now i am irrationally angry, how are the rest of you

let me ride on the wall of death one more time

august 31/september 1
