The Emperor might be the most extreme example of a parasitic parasocial relationship

I have another New Year’s secret for you.

It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne. … He is a rotting carcass, … the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.

I remember once going to a(n American) Civil War battle site guided by a student with a thick German accent

I asked him why he was so interested in the Civil War. He mentioned he was studying military history in the US bc that is largely not available anywhere in Europe

We are the Skaven

Those who believe we exist are decried as fools

Believe in our presence at your own peril

Tow the Empire line and move along

Some personal/professional news: I am excited to be joining the Economics Department @upenn.bsky.social and the Penn Initiative for the Study of Markets as a Postdoc in Fall 2025!

white Southerners wanted to LARP as their feudal overlord ancestors

but like the Victorian-era caricature of medieval life

SC planters called themselves "the chivalry"

Lean into the posted on Bluesky bias 👍

How do I account for posted on Bluesky bias?

another unsettled question for the ages:
how many chuggas does a train chug before a choo-choo?

should I read Peirce?
If so, what?

It took me five attempts to override autocorrect and write the name Peirce

You're wondering who I am.
Secret, secret. I've got a secret.
Machine or Madding Man
With parts made in Japan.

I've got a secret.
I've been hiding. Trade imbalancin'
My heart is human.
My crypto's coiling.
My brain L-L-M. 🤖

a close up of a cat 's face with its paw on its face Alt: all members of the animal kingdom are saluting your return to the mothership

Best of luck returning to the Mothership. We salute you

too much psychic damage

massive lifestyle improvements, reducing time spent on formatting and increasing time spent on the stuff that matters

I miss MATES
