for some reason in my dream last night i had to come up with food-related puns for LoTR characters. got through FroYo Baggins, Sandwich Gamgee, and Slider (Strider), but got stumped on Gollum/Smeagol

i think this gets covered in “poverty for profit” by anne kim about the cyclical nature of walmart and snap benefits and how much money they make off poor people if anyone wants to get more mad about it lol

This should be seen as what it is: a huge step towards ending free and fair elections.

isn't this why God made business schools

you can’t really call this anything other than cowardice

voting for Trump in 2024(!) and now(?) regretting it is too funny. how do these people manage to find their way out of their own house in the morning

Fantasy novel: "they were nigh on ten leagues from Mount Gerblin"

Me (no idea what a league is): damn. That's far

Trial shows that ICE agents lied, concealed evidence in an illegal effort to convict the "libtard" who filmed them.

This headline is how I learn it's pronounced Newsie not Nuzzy

Dear President Obama, I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza." Palestinians have families, too. This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide. I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world. Love, Ms Rachel

Ms. Rachel coming for Obama 👏

It's simply good hygiene

This drove me crazy for literally a year-plus until I figured it out

@davidjroth.bsky.social I know exactly what Blake Snell looks like: youtu.be/wTqsV3q7rRU?...

ICE: The Kicker

I believe 100% they would have won if the ticket were flipped

"I thought about me" is what this all comes down to. These guys thought they were immune from this country

yeah i think he fell for ai lol

I'm so sorry. ♥️

I love being incredibly tired and that’s why I do it every day

if you have infinite monkeys typing on infinite typewriters one of them will eventually produce the entire works of shakespeare. but you don't have that kind of start up capital. start with 10 monkeys writing steven king's Christine. soon you'll be turning a profit and can start scaling your monkeys

pondering it I think this almost has to be true. for an LLM the really valuable text is going to be textbooks, technical literature, abstract philosophy, sophisticated nonfiction, ie stuff that doesn't sell a million copies

i'm tired of people telling me that the houston texans aren't real. obviously they are not real in the literal sense. i don't think anyone is saying they are. but they impart lessons that have a lot of truth to them. god never intended them to be taken at face value

This is what David Brooks meant when he said a conservative had texted him that Kirk was their George Floyd. They didn't mean that Kirk was a victim of a profound injustice. In the conservative mind, Floyd was used as a symbolic pretext to reorient society. They want to use Kirk that way.

if all the extremely divorced men who spent their friday night name searching charlie kirk put half that energy into their families maybe their kids would still like them

screenshot of a tweet of mine from like 2013: "if you turn the k-state logo sideways it looks like a bird ventriloquist"

two replies from the same person: Go get a real job and leave Bill Snyder alone. You were born and raised in Louisville, Kentucut. Go fuck yourself You Bumpkin Fuck

whenever i watch k-state play i take a moment to remember one of the best online interactions i've ever had

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up
