LETS GOOOOOOOO BASEBAAAAALLL

unfortunately the mariners seem very cool and are very hot

Large Language Muddle | The Editors The AI upheaval is unique in its ability to metabolize any number of dread-inducing transformations. The university is becoming more corporate, more politically oppressive, and all but hostile to the ...

"There’s still time to disenchant AI, provincialize it, make it uncompelling and uncool." I really loved this piece!!

GenAI has never saved anyone any money, nor made them more productive. Companies like Klarna and Duolingo are hiring back the people they laid off in their AI fever; others are hiring expensive consultants to patch up AI botch jobs.

But sure, EA will be the first ever company to make it work.

Thinking of something @prisonculture.bsky.social kept repeating at a workshop I attended last year: "Most people are not brave"

The Tyler Robinson confession texts remind me of Carrie Bradshaw’s novel in AND JUST LIKE THAT.

plenty of things going against the right globally: Bolsonaro's conviction in Brazil, the defeat of the right wing in Norway's election, the student strikes and Saba Saba protests in Kenya (brutal as the repression there was), the EU's von der Leyen pursuing sanctions and trade suspension for Israel

don't have a lot of respect for the median voter but I suspect this will be their reaction to anyone saying the death of charlie kirk means we need to ban the ACLU or whatever

and re: 800 lukewarm think pieces on the intrinsic value of a human life, when the context is a public murder of a person whose values proudly echo + amplify the country that routinely carries out lots of murder, inside and out. yeah we SHOULD be better, but that is almost trivial at this point.

tired of/confused by the statement that “violence has no place in american politics”.….do people not see that American politics is like, famously, extremely violent?

like aspirationally, violence *should* have no place in american politics, but right now it does, it’s just baked right in.

This was a course that used a Broadview Press text, an anthology on Children’s Literature Where the footnotes contain info about historical perspectives on gender. the entire department is being audited now

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say charlie kirk died from a grand piano falling on his head and his mouth turned into piano keys and then a flower pot fell on his dick and it honked like a bike horn. don’t say stuff like that

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

(i said no)

reflecting on the time a tinder date tried to get me to join Falun Gong 🫡

it is sinister + unfortunate that the trendy cool girl clothes rn all look like busted pilgrim gowns worn on the oregon trail. i don’t get it. you can’t shake ass in that. you’re telling me I am to wear modesty sack garment to the gallery opening or the vinyl night! I think not! Make sluts ok again!

just checking in with one of the most influential philosophers alive today

New TV Novels | Lisa Borst It’s a literature of dimming stars, smoggy drives through flammable chaparral, frequent benders, prostitutes. Flash periods of productivity where somebody bangs out a script in a week. There’s at leas...

Aversion to private property, seduction by the actual spoils of wealth: this dialectic, so suggestive of the literary writer who knows better than to hope for real financial success but does anyway, surges throughout these novels. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-50/rev...

"he has a complicated legacy..."

“Politics Is Conflictual” “Massive changes often unfold on large time scales,” philosopher Olúfẹmi O. Táíwò told The Drift in 2022.

“I don’t know why people are so bent out of shape about hope,” @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social tells us. “Hope is great.” Read the interview from Issue Fifteen today.

lol i saw it do this the first time i asked so i asked again and recorded it. some real “i’m sorry dave, i’m afraid i can’t do that” vibes

Yeah I think one thing that hasn't really been articulated is that it is a separate, distinct harm to sexual violence victims to see stories like this consumed as prurient entertainment.

Woman: *shows me her boobs*

Me* having only seen the boobs of that lady in total recall* : "Oh boy, I cant wait to see the rest!"

Ozzy Osbourne being Ozzy Osbourne.

An incomparable legend.

this is a common genre of dream for me. I once dreamed I composed a brilliant song that would make me famous. when I woke up i realized it was “she’ll be comin around the mountain”

I dreamed i had a viral post and it got literally thousands of likes. the post said “my eye hurts”

Y-you- you’re thinking about this all wrong, as if I had the Epstein files back in a safe. The Epstein files aren’t here — the Epstein files are in Joe’s house, and Mrs. Menklin’s house, and a hundred others

i can’t remember anything that has felt more foisted upon us than AI. repeatedly telling us why we actually need is like thinking a joke will get funnier the more you explain it.
