I must’ve been a postdoc at MIT or a new-ish engineering professor when I first heard the story of how Ben Barre overheard colleagues talking about how his research was so much better than his β€˜sister’ Barbara’s.

We need this to penetrate public consciousness.

Sooner or later they come hat in hand to govt. They will tell SNAP recipients to β€œget a job.” To billionaires peddling an idea no one needs, they open the coffers filled with our tax dollars.

Good thread, and I will add that men DO NOT LIKE IT when women say "hey, you fucked up," and to the extent that women tend to soften the blow with indirectness, it's because men feel like their honor is insulted if they have to take feedback from women.

A screenshot of Arknights, showing Exusiai, the New Covenant, a girl with red hair wielding try guns, surrounded by a ring of statues which are also wielding guns. She's saying "An apple a day means seven apples a week, yay!"

Sorry but anyone who thinks free public transit is some insane boondoggle policy rather than just the obviously correct, rational, and efficient way to operate public transit is just not someone who should be listened to, ever

The Japanese dev inspired by Undertale's Toby Fox to make his first RPG in decades calls it 'a love letter to other people who love these odd games, like Toby and I do' The Undertale-inspired Stray Children, like Kimura's '90s RPG Moon, is part oddball story, part genre commentary.

Here's a brand new interview with our head boss onion Kimura in @pcgamer.com, on getting the courage to make a new RPG, and how #StrayChildren came together!

The Anti-Defamation League is launching an "initiative to track and monitor Mamdani administration policies." They did not do this when the Heritage Foundation, which is directly staffing and writing policies for the Trump administration, defended neo-Nazis.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Five Xuya Universe novellas by Aliette de Bodard laid out. The titles are The Tea Master and the Detective, In the Shadow of the Ship, Seven of Infinities, On a Red Station Drifting, and The Citadel of Weeping Pearls. The covers are gorgeous and feature Vietnamese inspired motifs, some spaceships, and star backdrops.

guy said, β€œDo you like Marx?”

I said, β€œI haven’t met him.”

Guy said, β€œNo, no, he’s dead.”

β€œWow, what happened?”

β€œNo, no, he died long ago.”

I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, β€œWhy are you asking me if he died long ago?” 

β€œNo, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” 

I said, β€œSounds amazing.”

I’m giving you a sense of how naΓ―ve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx.

BS: The FBI.

MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,
