I think about this quote from Dijkstra all the time: > When all is said and told, the "naturalness" with which we use our native tongues boils down to the ease with which we can use them for making statements the nonsense of which is not obvious.

I simply don’t believe it when someone says they haven’t heard of Porter Robinson's Worlds 2019 live remix of ‘Fresh Static Snow’ with the new chord change and ending. They’re just signaling allegiance with their particular political bubble

if Ghost in the Shell is showing, i go see Ghost in the Shell

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

if you're uncomfortable with the phrase "trans rights or else we all enjoy the camps" i implore you to platform people who are outspoken in providing trans people rights, because our rights are your rights and what happens to us will come to you too

It goes without saying but just in case: You absolutely do not have to hand it to JK Rowling. Even if she DID mean what she says about trans adults (which she doesn't, she is constantly attacking trans adults just trying to live their lives) it doesn't mean anything given the HARM she has caused

plz go see camp miasma in a theater if it's showing near you, it's an original movie that takes big honkin' swings and looks incredible

THE JOKER : wanna know how I got these scars? ZOHRAN MAMDANI, SPEAKING PERFECT MANDARIN: How you got your scars is a personal story, but I want to make sure that every New Yorker who has scars gets to tell their story. That’s why I’m reducing MTA fares on weekends

Lowry told me Area X keeps eating his expeditions so I asked how many expeditions he’s recovered and he said he just goes to the Southern Reach and gets a new expedition afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding expeditions to Area X and then the Southern Reach director started crying.

this is false. every year has 1 kentucky derby except for leap years which have 2 because there's an extra first saturday in may

a lot of people who aren’t from louisville don’t realize this, but all those guys are riding horses. none of them are running. it’s pretty obvious once you see it in person

looks like the nba scheduled another game 7 tonight. i do not know why they ever do this. it doesn't take a math degree to realize that if a series lasts for seven games, one team will end up with fewer wins than the other. it's sloppy, it's asymmetrical, and it's a bad look for the league
