Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

ok pitch me a value-add use case, anyone
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

A while back, I asked my followers for Japanese music recs. About 80% were completely new to me. It reminded me how much my perspective shifts when I step outside my own frame of reference. It was a really valuable experience. So today, I’m sharing a few of my Japanese music picks here on Patreon.

i am noticing that as i teach more i am developing a kind of tone production mysticism, like teaching a secret art to unlock universal meaning. i think its because it is difficult to describe how to produce a great tone, but one of the most crucial elements to building basic technique and expression

Made banana pudding from scratch, was easier than I though, almost could have skipped adding sugar altogether given the sweetness of the bananas. Strongly recommend this option; was a big hit! Whole milk, starch, vanilla, bit of sugar, two eggs, bananas, not unhealthy…

I figured out the turtle thing at least. World rests on a turtles back, who is supported by another turtle, who is supported by another turtle, who is supported by another turtle, who is supported by another turtle, who is supported by another turtle, who is standing on the back of the first turtle
Yes, and the original phrase was quite old, “turtles all the way down” and im asking about the origin of the mixed metaphor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles...
