An actual opposition party would run this on a loop in every conceivable space.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Reading about bike commuting in Philly and this is kinda wild to me bc I walk and ride the bus in SE Philly and when I’m waiting at the bus stop I see a bunch of bike commuters and the majority are 40ish year old Hispanic dudes. I just would’ve guessed a bit different of a distribution.

If the regime does go after DSA, the appropriate response will be for as many people as possible to become dues-paying members.

Type of shit you blow the house up with

When NBA rookies land on stacked teams, they get less playing time, less visibility, and lower long-term earnings.

Early exposure matters for careers.

I can actually tell when I’m entering a crazy zone bc I start really really identifying with the song “Rockstar” by Nickleback

This happened to me at 20 in the middle of lockdown when I would take runs only listening to “Deacon Blues”

UVA invited to join select group of collaborationist universities

If Democrats weren’t completely worthless they’d make a direct appeal to the military and tell them that they’ll be prosecuted in the future for not refusing illegal orders

I relate heavily to Christopher on the sopranos

It’s been terrible since losing my best friend. I miss her so bad. I just don’t understand. It’s like nothing makes sense sometimes. I don’t think I’ll ever have another best friend.

IMO Jungian psychology is only useful or insightful to people who struggle with self-honesty or genuine reflection or are just kind of dumb

Laying in the bathtub taking a nice relaxing soak while the dulcet tones of King Von play on my phone

I’m not very hopeful about my future or career anymore these days. Starting to suspect I’m actually just a permanent resident of the frustrated middle layer.

Did even fucking worse this time. Wanna kms but I just gotta head back to the office.

Every 2 whole occasions, that is.

Everytime I go take the GRE, I find out some kind of infohazard beforehand that sets off my insecurity and self-comparison
