The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared...

tonight i saw leonidas kavakos playing bartok's second violin concerto with the ny philharmonic and it was so good i want to go whip rocks at things until i can calm down

a cupid crashed into my window earlier and now he’s just sitting dazed in the lawn firing arrows at all my neighbors

Cédric Durand, After AI — Sidecar Legacies of the bubble.

I feel like that many coding agent tabs keep one too occupied to synthesize a history of the present! speaking for myself I guess. and not really what you're asking but I thought this was a nice synthesis of a few things newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

whale :)

dude it's so so good, it's the best book this country's produced and its a novel whose plot is "whale"

pronouncing super bowl as "sperbo"

everyone shut up for a second

That's like the hajj for them

The world having one shared reserve currency might be the most consequential aspect of the last century when they look back in five centuries or whatever. P fun that we're just YOLOing that away. See what happens I guess !!!

2025 garbage time has commenced

we are everywhere of late surrounded by nightmare blunt rotations

Sugar Ray and Fever Ray should bury the hatchet and do a family reunion tour

I should find someone to become a toady for. seems like a great gig

I SAW A STICK FALL FROM A TREE by Robert Frost I saw a stick fall from a tree. It was not very near to me. I saw it fall and as it fell, I raised my eyelids watchfully. A twig of spruce or fir or pine Or larch or cedar or a yew Or cypress or a hemlock or I guess of any other few Fell from its branch and floating down, I watched it with a watchful glance. The sprig had fallen through the air and landed on the land perchance. And so my thoughts turned towards myself: A stick, in ways, in others, man. I fell, am falling, yet still stand. Some stick that man is standing am.

In the winter, my thoughts always turn to poetry, and I would like to share my all time favorite poem by the master, Robert Frost, from his collection "Vermont in Ice Bedappled".

it is so good it literally lives up to the hype

yes! Emily Wilson! I tried to tell them it was eminently readable! eminently!

today on an unusually social M train car the nearby passengers roasted me for reading The Odyssey. "which odyssey" one guy said. "THE Odyssey" I said. "I didn't think people read that after high school" the lady next to me said. I hadn't prepared for this

typing "bill clinon" and then "shaque" and then a five comma ellipsis is a real hat trick. it looks like one of those ee cummings poems buried way deep in the back of an anthology

stop being mean to chuch shummer 😡

ever since young age I am passionate about Software Update (constant interruption allowing me to contemplate, very long anticipation while installing. verbose dialog about it after. and all the rest) I Live To Update✌️

Saw the (very good) production of Oedipus on in nyc tonight and the people sitting behind me were audibly in shock when it started to become clear Jocasta is his mother. "Guy who's genuinely surprised that Oedipus fucked his mom" is a delightful thing to see in the wild. Like a rare bird

guy sitting on the sidewalk for hours tracing out writing in the air in front of him with his index finger. absolutely top-notch kind of guy. like a vision from a ginsberg poem
