A Sizable Hawk

Live by the aug die by the aug

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

I was born for this, and I’ve been training all my life. 100% certain I’ve got it in the bag

(Assuming some obvious points here like small street tacos, light beer)

Socialism or barbarism

BEHOLD the largest freshwater fish species in the world: the Beluga Sturgeon!

FINALLY got to see one in person at the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth along with the @garlab.bsky.social Team at the @mnafs.bsky.social @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social meeting!

What an incredible fish!

Yeah that was my impression, hearing about it secondhand from my students. I literally stopped my (science) class this week to explain the Protocols hoax and how that provides the template for subsequent antisemitic conspiracy theories

this is a beautiful woman to me

Yeah, I’ve heard more antisemitism out of the mouths of my students lately, and they’re definitely absorbing it from socials other than X

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

GO DONATE.

If an AI can go to school for you what’s the point of going to school? For Advait Paliwal, Brown dropout and co-creator of Einstein, there isn’t one. “I think about horses,” he said. “They used to pull carriages, but when cars came around, I'd argue horses became a lot more free,” he said. “They can do whatever they want now. It would be weird if horses revolted and said ‘no, I want to pull carriages, this is my purpose in life.’”

"horses became a lot more free. they can do whatever they want now.

wild thing to say in a "they shoot horses don't they?" ass world

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

"Just Walk Faster" Isn't Enough Sometimes frozen poop *does* fall out of airplane toilets and land on people walking around on the ground with enough force to kill them. And walking everywhere really fast won't help. ZTUL.BSKY.SOCIAL

I need a vacation

As in, I need to get stoned and watch ‘84 Dune

Thomas Pynchon, "Gravity's Rainbow," 1973

I think if the word “memorize” were replaced by “store” or “contain”, the headline would be more accurate

Recently showed it to my wife for the first time and she was blown away by how fun it is. Honestly a great watch

Student just accidentally hit me with the “hi dad”, gonna be a good day

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

Why the hell not, here's a vermilion flycatcher chick jamming out. 🪶 🐣

Aww good boy

Renee Good's murderer, Jonathan Ross, has been in DHS for more than a decade, and was himself responsible for training officers.

Don't talk to me about fixing this by "training".

I wanted a greyhound so bad but my wife talked us into a cattle dog. Upsides: incredibly tough & vigorous, great hiking companion. Downsides: views cuddling as a dangerous distraction from her job of barking at delivery people

Few *hours*, my god what I wouldn't give

Absolutely true, but I'm going to have to sit down and think it over before I internalize this

One of my students just referred to Linkin Park as "divorced dad rock"

Also I am CERTAIN that this is at least mostly A Guy In There rather than straight LLM

It’s kind of funny to imagine what Albert Einstein would think of this tool using his name. Like, how mad does a lifelong pacifist have to be before he goes on a blood soaked odyssey of revenge?

Listen to this 13 year old who went to her city's council meeting.

She had some things she needed to get off her chest
