my writing habits are terrible, but one small hack I highly recommend: always end your writing session in the middle of a sentence

one thing I tried for a while that worked pretty well (although I need to get back to it) was scheduling shorter writing sessions and treating the end of the session as a hard stop

had a clip from a newer episode of Rick & Morty pop up on my YouTube and I’m sorry to report that Roiland’s performance was in fact essential to the show

A while ago my parents' smart TV added a "generate an AI screensaver" button and every time I visit I add some kind of strange horse to the rotation

1. A short thread on a Bluesky phenomenon that might be described as "They are a dead-eyed cultist who must be cast out lest the heresy take root!" OP has blocked me for mocking them - I'd usually obscure their name but since they themselves were quote-dunking to demand someone else be blocked ...

That expression is of a girl making shit up just to fuck with Pete and see how long he’ll pretend to understand when she tells him she’s about to floopborp the turkey buzzard at the mall, later, zlurples.

listen I'm pretty antireligious but if you asked me between an atheist and a hardcore progressive christian who's more likely to turn into some weirdo fundamentalist it's probably the atheist

"students should learn to better manage their time to avoid last-minute questions"

sure, ideally

but I submitted a conference abstract a few minutes before the deadline this week. "Learn to avoid procrastination" isn't a learning goal of my classes because I'm not qualified to teach it

if you try to forget that

"why did the chicken cross the road? to get to the other side."

is THE go-to example of an overused unfunny joke, it's actually a pretty good anti-joke. i think the biggest thing going against it for my generation is we first heard it at age 5 instead of like, 13.
