People* are saying that there's a 20% chance or so that Claude is conscious. Whatever, the same is true about me.

(*These people are assuredly, embarrasingly wrong.)

Happy Saturday, nerds! I'm using mathematical modeling to rage-write about the absolutely bonkers law review submission process! Rage-writing is always my best work! #LawSky

Gas station in Quincy seeks strolling violist to play for customers - The Boston Globe Harvey Kertzman has long tried to offer his customers a more refreshing experience than one might expect at the pump. Now he wants to elevate it even further.

Possibly tendering my resignation to take up this gig. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/07/a...

Game time, bitches! Orchestral music from operas: Fledermaus (Strauss), Peter Grimes (Britten), L’Amant Anonyme (Bologne) and fucking drama queens Tristan und Isolde (Wagner). 🎻

Thanks for sharing this. Yeah, I wrote them and the head publisher to say this. Wondering if my email will have any effect.

Hmmm let me look into this. It will be released in UK a month or two later but this probably does not help you. I will investigate. And thank you for asking !

Hooboy. In the continued shitshow that is academic publishing these days, just had my first experience getting a referee report on my work that was clearly written by AI, fresh with hallucinated/missed content.

I have this thing I do where I… don’t.

Regardless, sending support.

My entire feed rn is: may Kristi Noem burn in hell, experience the suffering she had caused others, etc etc and I kind of love my feed.
