people on twitter say that bluesky doesn't have the sauce but the truth that no one seems to want to point out is that twitter doesn't have the sauce anymore either. we are living in a new sauceless reality.

The closest comparison for the Grok thing we can imagine right now is if cereal made a bunch of people ill and the news put a microphone in front of some cereal boxes at the grocery store and was like “well they didn’t admit guilt, not sure who else we can ask”

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

there is a true nap and a false nap. the false nap is scheduled. a true nap must be taken when necessary. the false nap is timed. a true nap must be unfettered. the false nap's goal is to return to work. a true nap's goal is to play within the mind

So much of current popular online history discourse is really just an aesthetic exercise urging us to reconsider modernity, by people who think homeschooling their kids in Latin would magically unlock the ability to interpret both cuneiform and the Almagest

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion
