Look, are we the laughing stock of the world? Yes. Are we losing a war we should’ve never started? Yes. Is all our food poison now? Yes. Are all the jobs going away? Yes. But the important thing is a blue-haired college student I made up in my head feels bad about memes.

the ideal academic life is being an eccentric Victorian lord. Invent a stamp licking machine at 22. Get elected to the Royal Academy for counting the beetles on your estate. Die in an arsenic explosion. The perfect life.

The US can still win the World Cup if Donald Trump has the courage

Valid computer command in the year twenty twenty six.

"She’s the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine ... She has called for foreign intervention, even appealing directly to Benjamin Netanyahu, the architect of Gaza’s annihilation, to help “liberate” Venezuela with bombs under the banner of “freedom,” www.codepink.org/nobel_peace_...

we will defeat fascism

It's honestly wild how quickly scientists went from detecting gravitational waves for the first time to routinely using them for astronomy. 10 years sounds like a while, but that's just about as long as it takes to train one student from bachelor's degree to PhD. Hats off to the LIGO folks. ⚛️🧪🔭

"the english-speaking world's multiple-centuries long institutions collapsed because a neurotic psychosexual obsession with the sexed body and trans people drove them to annihilation" predictive thesis remains unobstructed

It really cements Charlie Kirk’s reputation as a hero of free speech when his followers threaten, doxx, and get people fired for not “mourning properly.” (Actually, it underlines what a scam that “free speech” routine was in the first place.)

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.” www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

Huh that’s weird. Meanwhile I’m reading The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and every time I don’t understand something I take a picture of the page and send it to ChatGPT and it explains to me in plain English what is going on.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

These are VERY rough estimates, but here's life expectancy after diagnosis of type-I diabetes over the past 150 years. It was Banting and Best's discovery of how to isolate insulin in 1921 — not some fucking cooking class — that gave people including my daughter a new lease on life.

Boy, I sure am glad that I don't live in a Vonnegut novel

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

Measles is spreading out of control under an antivax administration and they're about to crash the Social Security payment system but most important message is for the Democratic National Convention to include a nationally televised struggle session where they confiscate Lia Thomas' swimming medals

Schrödinger’s AI: too dumb to count the number of Rs in “strawberry pie”, but will also take all our jobs and enslave humanity.

I miss DEI

Btw I use Arch.

It’s really dumb to dismiss LLMs as “plagiarism machines” and so forth. LLMs are a revolutionary technology, and being able to play with DeepSeek R1 last night with some hard coding problems was eye opening. And it was free. We need to make it so society takes care of those it will make jobless.
