same. Saw Sean Nelson cover it once, I’ll never forget it

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

embarrassed to look at my chess.com wrapped, it’s probably like “here are your biggest blunders of 2025”

There are multiple Jewish ethnicities. There are multiple Jewish faith traditions. Not all Jews are white or Ashkenazi. Judaism isn't a race.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

saw 3 corgis today, seems auspicious

there’s a reason for that. Please respect their boundaries

the Hair song being my top song for August is particularly disturbing

believe it or not, the “top artists” and “top songs” are even more embarrassing

I have Apple Music but I’ll have to check!

don’t use Spotify so I don’t know what my listening age is but I’m pretty sure I was born right after World War II

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.

this should be a much bigger story

just heard an MTA announcement that mentioned Spotify wrapped. we love public-private partnerships, don’t we folks

I have shifted away from timed tests, but when I gave them, I'd always offer way more time than students would need. If it's a one-hour final, and it's scheduled for a three-hour block, then you don't need to worry about anyone "gaming the system."

I find requests for accommodations a really useful prod to check whether I’m making other students jump through hoops for the sake of jumping through hoops.

“morally deficient” people don’t need to fake a disability to get power, and pretending they do only hurts disabled people

ok how much is this actually happening. Stop it

The cover of "Mood Machine," a book by Liz Pelly

Since Spotify is in the discourse this am, I'm urging you to read Liz Pelly's excellent history & critique "Mood Machine."

While the gospels of Matthew and Luke state that Jesus will return as an LLM, John and some of Paul’s letters indicate that Jesus will return as a Boston Dynamics dog that has to be remote-controlled by an employee off-camera. This led the early Church into five different schisms.

buried lede here is that bob balaban doesn't think of himself as a movie star 😔 you're a star to all of us balaban-heads, bob

After watching Wicked: For Good, I have to conclude that the romance between Fiyero and Elphaba is an example of gays trying to piece together what they imagine a heterosexual attraction looks like after only ever hearing about it

I just accommodate everyone who asks and don't worry about it

Joe Rogan: "Jesus was born out of a virgin mother. What's more virgin than a computer? If Jesus does return, you don't think he could return as artificial intelligence? Al could absolutely return as Jesus."

what’s more virgin than a computer

Jesus Christ, the "remastered" Beatles Anthology documentary they re-released is filled with AI slop. Look at John and Paul's faces, and the "T" on Beatles.

Congratulations to the Beatles on being my top listened to artist this year. The four lads from Liverpool have done it again

“wouldn’t it be nice” is probably just from listening to Pet Sounds over and over
