Gonna start using it

many such cases

Hot Take: Theater sucks and AI also sucks.

I am tired.

Im choosing to take this as a defense of dynamic semantics.

Hell yeah dude.

Last Night's Dream: My dept required that I participate in a tag team wrestling match. One of my opponents was Brock Lesnar. My partner was the cute girl from my early 20s who had a crush on me, but I never pursued. We won the match, but my contract was not renewed.

Dreams are meaningless for sure.

Everybody hates grading and is always behind schedule... unless this grading is taking place on social media. Then everybody loves it and has the time.

I share an account with my wife/daughter with similar results

My favorite artists page includes Napalm Death, Chappell Roan, and Stephan Trask.

Also, young Nick Cave cameo alert.

Update: now that my retro setup is complete, my wife has become hopelessly addicted to Star Sweep (PS1). Dishes go unwashed and children go unfed as my wife languishes in a never ending battle with Temu-Sephiroth.

I can't help but notice that some of you tweet too much, while others do not tweet enough. It would be great if you all could sort that out, thanks.

This is just the disagreement challenge to contextualism about quantifier domains for definites.

There were so many delightful misunderstandings!

My father was killed in a fake barn accident.

I swore revenge.

Thanks!

Still missing an AC adaptor for the PS2 and a coaxial for the NES. Back to the storage unit I go. Decent progress though.
