I’d make a pun but I don’t want you to destroy your phone out of disgust

… it’s like living on top of a mountain is making me weird or something!

Realization: Cities are often pointless in 2025.

Getting to where I fully believe this, like some Harvey-Lefebvre hope gene is disintegrating inside me.

Excepting medical care? Eh.

Feeling like most people just need hustle and bustle to distract them from their own awful thoughts.

Join us.

We have cookies.

And contempt for most new music.

And our knees hurt.

Hipped to Patlabor showings while in Japan so I got to see that bad boy in a theater.

Thanks again, AniBlewCrew!

“Analog infrastructure” is such a loaded, pseudo marketing term.

Hey, look, just because you bought into Bill Gibson novels and tech mania doesn’t mean ohm’s law and copper and crimping went out the window completely

search is broken, they really are doing the SomethingAwful speedrun

Your link didnt work the other day yo!

I would very much appreciate my diploma from that R1 public ivy where I got my doctorate.

Sure would be nice to have that.

(Seriously, now on my third try for a piece of paper.)

🤗 to see @timothyaschuler.bsky.social on the work of Reimagine the Canals (+ my friend Angelyn!), who, in revitalizing the Erie Canal, "hope [to] serve as a model for how public agencies might approach aging infrastructure at vast scales, marrying... basic maintenance with... public access"

Neophilia is just not a thing for me, so…

I read “new” ish stuff all the time but the thing about qualitative humanities is that “new” in terms of peer review still takes a year or so…

It’s a meta discipline that’s “timely” if you’re used to slow media, which I guess is the point of conferences and the like.

Don’t worry everybody I’ll be back to talking about krautrock and numbers stations soon enough!

Today media class will get the @alicetiara.bsky.social instafame lecture!

Hoping the cognitive dissonance of having the “make music (and houses) from chunks of discarded metal” guy doesn’t induce too much chaos…

(Or at least praying for “funny” chaos…)

Apparently this got my friend the day off

So my work Mac is USB-C… so I gotta find a new cable for my various external drives, I assume

It was a blast

This was me and the alleyways of okachimachi in 2004

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

My Hero Academia Sabbatical

Dat corporate synergy!

Heard an interview with her on NPR last night and she was so cool. RIP

It’s so great in the theater. Caught it last year when I was in Hirosaki

Might I recommend “stabbings and self doubt” by Satoshi Kon?

(Something tells me you’ve seen it.)

So the new perfect blue looks pretty good, but I felt super trauma’ed out by the third act… perhaps I just wasn’t in a place to watch it again.

I was also totally alone in the theater, which was odd. Maybe the lack of audience excitement left me feeling flat?

I did myself a legitimate disservice by learning that fact way back when, because he wouldn’t have even *needed* to act

RLS: Why they let Jared Leto *near* Tron is lost on me.

Dude stank up the screen in Blade Runner 2049.

Alone at the Perfect Blue screening.

Awesome.

I need to revisit the episode that “threw” me narrative-wise for a second, but it never downgraded plot-wise. Wasn’t as totally amazing visually toward the end as it was at the beginning, but it was so engrossing…
