Jason Smith

would be funny if
• gerrymander fragile to 2026 blue wave
• oops all D's
• trump, roberts impeached

(this is the darkest timeline so probably not but still)

money sector is where the money's at

(not going to go into why i am using google news, but made a concerted effort over the past year to try to turn it into something useful and it's just dreadful)

me: see fewer stories like this
google news: ok how about 3I/ATLAS?
me: see fewer stories like this
google news: look, your science news feed is either going to be about 3I/ATLAS or supermoons and we prefer the former

google news: look, 3I/ATLAS!
me: see fewer stories like this
google news: but 3I/ATLAS tho
me: see fewer stories like this
google news: ok how about 3I/ATLAS?
me: see fewer stories like this
google news: crank at harvard talking about 3I/ATLAS
me: see fewer stories like this
google news: supermoon?

taking down the 3-volume weinberg quantum theory of fields and replacing them with D&D players manuals

lol!

they *claim* to be based on keynes but really that's just a way to say "no actually it's lerner's work based on 3 years in the 1950s"

in the post i speculate the reference to keynesianism is actually just a trojan horse for the weird stuff

Rehashing the hits, but here's 6000 words from me on MMT weirdness

how much we wanna bet there is going to be some ai manipulation

(they've since made a few blocks of king st pedestrian only)

ai : google search :: automobile : streetcars

walked down king st. in alx this morning and saw a historical sign about the streetcars that used to run along it that were removed to accommodate cars — mass adoption of a new technology restructuring our lives causing problems we are dealing with to this day

immediately thought of the push for ai

a man in a lab coat with a stethoscope stands in front of a green screen that says health Alt: a man in a lab coat with a stethoscope fades in before a green screen with an approximation of a cardiac rhythm that says "helth"

• burn 300 kcal on the peloton
• immediately consume 300 kcal of cheese

there are *democrats* i want to put in prison

guillotine as "ceiling" remover

"no ceiling" doesn't exactly scream elite accountability to me

hobi is confused as to why i am now singing "down at fraggle rock" at him

grandpa simpson meme with "old man yells online" as the headline and no cloud in the picture

losing my mind reading a skeet "old enough to remember" that "paying for cable" meant "there were no commercials"

obviously not old enough to have seen an itemized cable bill listing the channels with commercials you were paying for

physics professor: these nuclear weapons that could blow up the world are the fault of the corporate contractors and politics, not us

oulipo mentioned!

long time fans of "the floor is lava" are unhappy about the bluey generation flowing into their caldera

also might indicate who should really be replaced by ai

did i actually "TIL" when i say "TIL zébresse is the feminine form of zebra in french"? is that real?

personally i don't like the feeling that ai is chipping away at the epistemological foundation of reality

Horse’s name was Salty

In light of horse discourse that @faineg.bsky.social started I thought it might be relevant to show baby Jason on a horse in the 80s (survived; no injuries).

Totally would’ve been a poaster
