You and I are endgame anyway, Lorcan ❤️

Everyone that found a partner before 2020 won the lottery. It’s bleak out here.

I knew getting back on dating apps after 3.5 years away would suck but my god the apps have gotten really bad haven’t they.

I just asked the woman working at my supermarket where the relish is for a potato salad. She said “you’re not putting that in potato salad,” walked out from behind her counter and made sure I got every single ingredient for a proper East German one.

Between Weapons, 28 Years Later, Sinners and now Alien Earth, I feel like horror fans are eating good

Couple sitting across the aisle from me on this train with a bunch of labubu keychains were watching No Country for Old Men on an iPad. They then started making out while the movie continued playing. I’m not entirely sure I didn’t hallucinate them.

I see this stuff all the time. People arguing basic ideas that have long been figured out by people smarter than them. It’s an epidemic, especially in the corporate world.

Why tech billionaires want a dictatorship Guest host Jon Fortt and The Nerd Reich author Gil Duran on the rise of tech authoritarianism.

"The problem is when you get these billionaires who maybe haven’t matured as fast as their finances have, they think these are great ideas, and they push them, and then unfortunately, the rest of us have to deal with them."

So far the three sentences of Polish I have remembered from childhood have been enough to get my train ticket checked and to buy a coffee. Someone please tell my mom so she can finally be proud of me.

I trust you implicitly

If you wanna talk to the actual godfather of AI talk to Frank Rosenblatt, who created the perceptron, one of the first practical neural networks. You might not reach him though he died in 1971.

There are Mentats everywhere for those with eyes to see.

LLMs are optimizing the adult industry Large language models are helping OnlyFans creators run single-person production studios.

This is a FASCINATING article. Tbh I knew OnlyFans creators were automating messages, but I didn’t realize how broad-based AI support is. I kinda assumed there’d be a stronger anti-AI sentiment in the adult industry. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

A few months ago I wrote my first play, a very short one-act horror story. Today I get to see it performed. This is such an incredible feeling.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

It says a lot that an organization that made a big deal out of stopping local endorsements felt so threatened by Mamdani that they basically broke that promise but in a way to keep what I assume they think is plausible deniability.

Topical creams always seem fake to me. You’re telling me I can absorb pain relief through my skin? Ok homeopath

We do know that amateurs can already post their writing right? There's no real barrier to doing that. What this means is that the Washington Post will be selling their brand credibility to anybody with an AI.

I’m sitting at a fancy bar, with an espresso martini in hand. I’m wearing a navy blue suit, with a light green tie and light blue shirt. My hair is cut short and I’m wearing round black glasses.

Wore a suit for a wedding in Montreal and made sure everyone took enough photos to last me a few years.

Two weeks! Mostly in Ottawa though, MTL just for the weekend

Berlin is better as a city but man I missed being around Canadians

I’m in Montreal for the first time in a decade and I am sorry to Berlin but I have a new love.

There’s a couple, mid 40s, sloppily making out in this bookshop, like teens. I love this for them.

Ty Ty I’m celebrating in style (looking at the grey overcast sky)

Wait no it’s today I didn’t miss it! Sorry the days are blurred together

I’ve been a bit distracted but yesterday I hit the anniversary where Berlin is the city I’ve lived in the longest in my adult life. I’m glad this is home ❤️

I’m in the hospital for a few days (mysterious fever don’t worry) but my roommate not only looks like, has a name that sounds similar to mine but I just found out he has the same symptoms as me???

We used to be a proper society

I was excited to tell her about a play I wrote that got accepted into a festival and she made me analyze it and saw things in there I didn’t realize I had been processing. Absolutely vicious.

When my therapist says “oh that’s interesting” I know I’m about to get read to filth
