Charlotte, my amazing wife and a teacher in France, went and protested with the students of Paris on Saturday. What she saw did not match the media narrative. She wrote up her thoughts on what she experienced on the ground. Please spread far and wide! #france #protests #paris #lesetudiantes

Why has no one used LLMs to fix how apps almost always lose your place in a feed?

Eric is a great guy. He has warmth, depth, insight without thinking he’s master of the universe or dictating our lives.

“Heavy”

Next NIN cover album

It’s only plastic cheese if it comes from the Plastic county of Wisconsin. Otherwise it is just cheese with emulsified additives.

“Heaven swallowed the smoke” Seamus Heaney’s Beowulf translation

The em dash-fest of that incarnation that seems very sticky just really makes me sour. It used to be a sign of writing that understood punctuation and consideration of flow and now it’s just a red flag.

All these celebrities promoting gambling apps and glp-1 drugs makes me think I should sell feet on the internet as a side hustle or something. We that dark?

Vegetarianism started with the gods in Gilgamesh

Wormrot

Got snipped so I am laying on the couch a lot. Cat has decided the only thing she wants to do is try to jump on my lap. Revenge from spaying 14 years ago?

Want more serendipity? Buy flowers for your friends, family, and lovers whenever they have an event or a most minor achievement. I’m talking many times a year. It’s not just that they’ll like it, but the amount of people you’ll talk to on the way is so warm and life affirming.

Imagine introducing a product called a Credit Card in today’s discourse.

New trucker coworkers take turns driving a round trip haul through the mostly featureless desert. Some traffic.

If you are wearing ear protection using it, what the fuck do you think your neighbors 10ft away are experiencing?

“Driving my own truck because I don’t give a fuck.”

You go on a trip for 2 weeks and learn exactly what 2 weeks of nail growth looks like.

I need moderate to severe something.

Look at how fast the clouds are moving

I think of air fryers the same as I do rice cookers. I know they are useful, but they are heinous looking and I don’t want them on my counter.

Just got a flash flood warning with the sentence “do not travel unless you are fleeing” and like, damn, could maybe workshop that a little to make it clear if I should be fleeing… travel fleeing.

This is from memory and out of order Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Bright Horses Babe, I’m on fire Stagger Lee Higgs Boson Blues Skeleton Tree Abattoir blues People ain’t no good 15 feet of pure white snow Dig, Lazarus, dig!!! And can I get euthanasia ?

Classic choice: Kill’em all Ride the Lightning Master of Puppets One I haven’t seen yet: American Football… honestly LP 1-3, 2–4, or 3-5 but the OGs will likely agree with 1-3

The trick is to eat them in the shower.

“There is no cutting me off once I start cutting” hot damn Seven Samurai.

I am also fueled with alcohol and oxygen yet I get no memorial.

What are Ethan Bubblegum Tate and Curly Joe going to do?!

I really enjoyed Dunkirk 2. Going from standing on beaches to constantly running away on beaches was a master stroke.

“Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening” could be 4 hours long.

No political hot take here just a shout out to that woman that used to scream “am New York am New York!” In the thickest Bronx accent at the top of the Penn station stairs every morning. Took me months to realize she was just saying the name of the paper she was passing out.

We’re 4 years into the first 6 months of LLMs.

Homer Liquor Full name, Homer Whiskey Gin and Tonic.

I read this first as “whiskey” and was like “damn right NYT!”

Did a cat write this?

I didn’t even know what D&D was before being told it was evil and would make me kill my parents to “level up”. My surprise when it learned it’s basically friends making up a story together and mostly telling stupid jokes but laughing their asses off.

Has anyone else had “The Blister” that becomes a sort of companion?

Wolverine and Spider-Man have the most viscerally understood super powers. A thwip or a snikt resonates deeply.

A dishwasher for the human body

Slice 8 obviously, who doesn't want to go to Donkey Kong Kountry?

Was that Rick Rubin in a Polymarket commercial? I’ve lost all compasses.

Put a bridle on that joy!

When they say “bones”…

As a kid I'd pretend to be asleep in the car on the way home after a late-ish night to try and trick my parents into carrying me into bed. As an adult I pretend to be asleep so my cat doesn't get "oh, we up?!" energy and run around the house meowing and harassing me.
