Gotta dust this off again I see

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

I appreciated the secret ranking of GT in there!

My favorite in this vein:

This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent

Why not combine them into one?

not sure if the Auntie Cathy clip has been posted on Bluesky yet but let's fix that now for the occasion

I’m at an airport and a girl is repeatedly doing them! Luckily away from the crowds.

In California and got some Round Table pizza solely for nostalgic reasons. I was expecting to be disappointed but it’s pretty close to what I remember!

We, the Sovereign What does it mean for the people to actually rule? Formal democracy is an empty and cynical shell, while the nationalist Right claims to advance its anti-democratic project in the name of ‘the P...

Gianpaolo Baiocchi’s book on this is a great call for participatory democracy too

It’s also weird because there’s been research for like 30 years showing that cultural elites and those with more education tend to be more omnivorous with consumption practices. So the meaningful markers of different consumption practices doesn’t match up entirely with economic class

I guess the idea is that 25 year olds don’t know “how politics work” and how to “get shit done” and my response to that would be what about our current situation in 2025 indicates that 80 year old democrats in congress for 30 years know how to “get shit done”?

Primary every Democrat who is not meeting this moment. Get rid of them all.

Waiting for the big outlets to put two and two together and realize that police whose identities are secret and facilities are secret are secret police.

And obviously we get into racialization and the racial order in relation to this. So I don’t know if creating a new term for bio vs social racial categories would work, for many reasons

In my intro to sociology class I ask students about this. I think it’s partly bio/social divide we have with sex and gender. Race, though a shallow bio construct, conflates bio and social aspects. The result is there’s less room to play with racial identity vs gender

is being terminally online bad for you? yes

does it make you less happy than your offline friends? absolutely

is there anything that matches the high of a poster's ragnarok? there is not, and that's why we can never log off

What World Does Bitcoin Want To Build For Itself? | Defector LAS VEGAS — “We often talk about baseball games as a metric for where we are, and we’re literally in the first inning,” one of the Winklevoss twins gloats. “And this game’s going to overtime.” It’s th...

Lol no one learns shit. Every day, these higher ed administrations prove the GOP correct that they're weak and stupid.

That old saw about 'give an inch' became a thing for a reason you dolts

The beachSUCKS! Lets lay on hot sand that gets everywhere & when we're miserably hot we can go float in saltwater inhabited by a bunch of shit that wants to eat you. Fucking amazing idea, should I bring a 600 lb. cooler? Hopefully there's nowhere to park so we can get a workout lugging all our shit.

Congrats! Being a dad in the dmv area may lead to a desire to move to nova. This is a serious side effect and should be treated immediately.

Average IPA hater: I can’t believe all these people drink this stuff, I’m going to make arguments against this in my head because I’m upset

Average IPA drinker: I’m going to enjoy this flavorful beer until it makes me fall off this stool

I don’t know about that. Hopping schedules, matching flavors, etc is just has challenging as anything related to lagering or more malt forward beers. There’s a reason why breweries can’t make treehouse clones still

never forget what the universal DH took from us

Happy May Day!
