Add milk and sugar to Rice Krispies and you’ve got a delicious breakfast. Add marshmallows and butter and all of a sudden I’m “setting a bad example for the children”

They've spent trillions of dollars and countless hours of work writing code and building carbon-spewing data centers to create a plagiarism machine that's no more accurate than the drunk at the end of the bar in 1985 confidently opining on nonsense. It's the circle of bullshit.
You can read about it in the New York Times today, as leading scholars of law and technology from around the country sound the alarm about what happens if the courts permit prosecutors to ignore basic conventions of truth and support on which we all rely. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you don’t have to be exceptional to have any value.

This episode is where we learn that Data was a weird artifact that Starfleet found on an away mission and decided to adopt

"We found this weird thing, can we keep it?" is one my my favorite types of Star Trek character

“AI workers said they distrust the models they work on because of a consistent emphasis on rapid turnaround time at the expense of quality.”
Meet the AI workers who tell their friends and family to stay away from AI

I can sight read really well. But nothing beats actually taking the time to figure out how you’re going to perform a song.

Well, shit. Turns out is is in fact better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality

You know the time blindness is strong in my family when I’m the one who has to keep everyone focused and on task.

I got good at Street Fighter 2 because there was a video store on my walk home from middle school that had a cabinet.
Why are we bringing the 80s back without bringing back the two arcade cabinets with sticky buttons in the corner of every restaurant? I want to play Karate Champ until I yell "COME ON!" and slap the side of the box, while some kid behind me slides a quarter beneath the screen.

Way overdressed for the weather and am now drowning in sweat. But, tbf, it was snowing two days ago.

It was in the 70’s yesterday and now I’m watching snow falling from the sky
