A lot of online chatter yesterday (from MAGA people) about buying the dip. How’s that working out today?

Feels like the refs have money on the #Lakers to beat the #Timberwolves tonight. Awful to watch. Ant gonna be suspended for a game for no reason

Something unfortunate has happened to @radiok.bsky.social lately — Rocket From the Crypt, Fugazi, Jawbox… Do we really need a GenX nostalgia station? We already have the Current after all

That could have done with a lot more SZA

The real immigrant taking jobs

Is there anyone who is *actually* bothered by affinity groups at work? Like the ones where, say, Asian Americans go have lunch together once a month? And do some networking and mentorship and such? Why does the Trump administration feel threatened enough by them to ban them from the government?

A friend of mine is a medical researcher and there was a big morning meeting today telling everyone to lock down all their social media and move all their communications to encrypted platforms in order to avoid being targeted by the government. Thanks for all this freedom, Trump voters!

A tough Sunday #crossword puzzle from the New York Times today! Don't think I've ever seen a 0% like this on XWStats. (I was 56% slower than my usual.)

Someone on Reddit asked what would happen if you were suddenly teleported to a neutron star's surface. I did the math, and given my size, my body would collapse and slam into the surface within a millionth of a second with the force of an atomic bomb. This is the kind of physics they should teach

Visiting Tucson today. Great bike infrastructure in places but will never be a good bike town because everything is so far apart. Great place to be a recreational cyclist though!

1/6 I've been reading a bit on the math involved in language models / AI and I learned something that blew my mind. In 3 dimensions you can have 3 lines which are mutually orthogonal. If you say "almost orthogonal" (>89 degrees, say) that doesn't change much...

Someone subscribed to my Substack. Maybe I should write something there or something

Suddenly winter seems more survivable

The Hunter Biden pardon is gross and embarrassing, and gives Trump and GOP allies cover for every insurrectionist he pardons, and every war criminal

Excited for #cranksgiving tomorrow! Thankfully not going to be too cold. Anyone else wanna bike around buying stuff for needy families? facebook.com/events/s/cra...

The #timberwolves really need to figure out how to be a team or this season is toast. Can we bring back last year's vibes somehow? Maybe KAT's wholesomeness is what tied the whole thing together after all?

Who is going to Transmission on Thanksgiving Eve? Anyone? Anyone?

Hello to whoever is on here
