why is cricket the sport called like cricket the animal, and why is their big important tournament called a normal non-sporty word like "ashes", it makes it very hard to mute-word this bizarre dollar tree baseball variant. 😤

I'm in favor of books and against the banning of same, but the cutesy "nevertheless she persisted" totebagification of the cause with the canva font layouts and the clipart of pensive black girls drawn by someone who has never once looked at a black face in person makes me want to find a matchbook

do you know why i appreciate stephen king as a writer? not because all of his stuff is great, or even good. i'd like to forget i ever read "song of susannah". i appreciate him because tell me how many contemporary writers with his reach would write this:

time for two more gödel anecdotes: his parents called him "little mister why" because he kept asking so many questions and alfred tarski referred to himself as "the greatest living SANE logician" because it was clear he couldn't compete with gödel but also gödel was obviously off his nut.
well time for my favorite gödel anecdote: like many other german-speaking intellectuals he ended up in the US due to the nazis, which meant he had to take a citizenship test. gödel, being the logician weirdo he was, prepared *dilligently*. albert einstein was one of his sponsors in this and
Kurt Gödel won my undying love for his genius when we learned about his completeness theorem in maths class age 14. Also, loved his glasses. Just got new glasses and they're as close to the style he wore as possible. My wife is livid and thinks they make me look creepy.

I think we need to let go of the idea that defaulting to a state of happiness or even contentment as the norm in the current timeline is something we should expect from ourselves and other people.
Staying in the peace of the present moment is very difficult. understandable to struggle with it.

i am currently roasting chestnuts in the oven for the first time ever, and all i've learned so far is that prepping chestnuts for roasting does a number on your knife. gonna have to break out the sharpening stones tomorrow if i can fit it in.

not a fan of the recent update that immediately hides posts you block. typically i only want to block a single person in the conversation but for some reason it nukes the entire thread from my feed.
i also want to be able to block an account AND choose "show less like this" and now i can't.
