i had a kind of painful friend breakup a couple of years ago with a scientist and it's funny how many of the quirky little things they did like avoiding seed oils and consuming nicotine (in the form of gums and patches) as like a thinking aid or whatever have turned out to just kind of be MAHA shit

as far as i can tell "AI" has made every single task i do more tedious and time intensive, a fact that, somehow, is also the pretense for my caseload almost doubling in six months. who could have predicted this

i walk home from the library for lunch and feel winded even though i'm wearing an N95, meanwhile i see people cycling, smoking cigarettes, or just hanging out outside all without any sort of mask. i'm getting lung mogged by the citizens of chicago

one argument i got in with the eight year olds was about whether LLMs can read. i told them that LLMs are sycophantic statistical models, whose only concern is finding answers to questions, which i told them is the opposite of reading. they were unconvinced. even the sympathetic turned against me

man buying me a drink: yeah, you know, there are some parts of [northside gentrified-to-shit neighborhood that i got priced out of six years ago] that i don't feel safe walking at night me: oh really like where

continue to think that planter’s support with the lib/left male pundit class was not *in spite of* his various transgressions, but because of them, a frankly pathetic attempt to reassert dem masculinity through a man whose violent career they believed represented working class authenticity

is it possible that platner’s appeal is driven in large part by his audience’s libidinal investment in seeing a cheeky (derogatory) boy get away with things

wish i had a recording of the time claire denis came to doc films to premier *high life* in chicago + hated the uofc prof & the tribune critic who hosted her so much that she turned to the audience to say that she couldn't believe she'd come all this way "just to be sitting here with these... boys"
