Ezra Klein got up the morning after the election and said "it's time to bring back The Pro Life Democrat Think Piece". One must imagine he was jealous of Micheal Tracey hogging the Pro Rape Liberal Commentator spotlight
Does this mean you'll stop having pro eugenics AI boosters on your podcast?

1960s acid guy who does still thinks you can self-administer conversion therapy by taking enough LSD, but now only condones this practice in pursuit of becoming bisexual
Anytime I vote my pat the bunny tulpa I developed at 16 starts yelling this at me
The new "you have to remove your tire before you get on the train" Amtrak rule is so annoying. If you bump the brakes w/ the front tire removed they pop out so you're carrying your bag carry on bike and front tire onto the train at once and if you bump anything you're sitting in the aisle fixing it
Y'all are getting negatively polarized against a beautiful public mainframe future simply because this guy wants to charge rent on a public utility and will only let you use it for his annoying hobby Like not wanting a public water supply simply because the mad king makes you pay to drink piss
Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · last wk.OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says having RAM in personal computers is a ‘terrible’ use of limited resources and that it would be better utilized in data centers "From a global perspective it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their computer"

Why is the first thing people ask me when I describe a math problem I enjoy what use that has in the real world Idk man what use does Foucault have in the real world? Like outside of beauty or passion there are obviously a lot of things we study at school which aren't professional training
Patrick Stewart inspired so many with his roles. Gone too soon 😞
The stupidest tattoo I really want is a riff on the brain jack from say the matrix or ghost on the shell except it's just a USB C port
I made a reply to this effect but it's driving me nuts that he takes this tone and won't mention the Race Science of it all. It's not that it's hard to miss it's hard to avoid. Anytime the inhibitions are dropped (vibecamp, EAG afters, doing k late at night) It Will Come Up
Dave Karpf@davekarpf.bsky.social · 2w agoRoose does a very nice job signaling in the second paragraph what sort of book this will be.
