truly can't believe elliot in the morning is still on
‘Dude, call the cops!’: Man reports dead body to radio hosts before contacting police
Man reports dead body in Frederick County to radio hosts before calling police
Frederick Police Department found a dead body in a wooded area after a caller talked about finding the remains with radios hosts on Elliot in the Morning.

realizing I don't really have any integrity about certain things, like I'm puritanical about gambling because I've never felt any draw towards it despite having a pretty impulsive and even addictive personality, but I think drugs are fine because I love doing a cool drug

even though we thought about it really hard we can't quite fully solve human freedom and conscience with a special kind of bureaucracy
Despite decades of research, it is still very difficult to know whether someone will try to die by suicide. Clinicians often rely on patients to disclose thoughts of self-harm, but some are lobbying for a new diagnosis called suicide crisis syndrome, or SCS, to better assess the risk.

oops I felt this too hard and now I perceive the entire medium as a collection of cheap tricks that can never convey the merits of reality
not even "inspiration" precisely but sitting and looking at something for a long time and having the immensely satisfying feeling of "I understand this well enough that I think I could reproduce the conditions of its production"

this is terrible advice man. "everything happens for a reason" is like the most empirically disprovable statement imaginable
Life lessons will be presented to you in the order they are needed. Everything you need to master the lesson is within you. Once you have truly learned a lesson, you will be presented with the next one. If you are alive, that means you still have lessons to learn. #excellentadvice

interesting modern problem I have is one of the hosts of a podcast I listen to both mispronounces a particular word and thinks it means something slightly different than it does and the other hosts and presumably all the listeners are too polite to point this out

falling asleep with a splitting headache and waking up without it feels like cheating somehow. how can anything become better without me consciously suffering in the process

one thing about "politics is mostly about sex crimes now" as it periodically seems to be is that it's really hard to organize around. nobody likes talking about it in polite company, nobody wants to talk to their parents about epstein, even when everybody is clearly equally grossed out

experiencing something like "artistic inspiration" for the first time in quite a while, not entirely sure what to do with it, like when you see a deer while walking and you both freeze

it's weird that britain has two guys who are the personification of their grandiose sense of national worth who keep changing actors and have like a 20% rate of producing watchable media (james bond and doctor who)

sneakers I wear are finally falling apart after like 4 years so I went on ebay and bought the exact same sneakers again. worried this is kind of a depressive move versus shopping for shoes I might like better, and that it sort of adds up to whatever sense of style I have ossifying into a costume

another line cutting but this one was just a guy who petitioned the people in the front that he was in a hurry and only had one thing. which kind of sucks because it's putting on them the decision to waste everyone in the line's time. then his friend joined him and they did separate transactions!!
first-time experience for me: lady waiting in line with me at the self checkout tried to slowly cut in line over like 5 minutes, like she started out diagonally behind me and then directly next to me and tried to be in front of me when we were up next, incredibly weird

"famous novelist calls famous industrialist shallow" is a reassuring conflict because it doesn't even need the internet, that's the same kind of beef people were having 100 years ago

I wear sandals with a pretty rigid sole as house shoes when it's hot and unstructured slippers when it's cold so the change of seasons is now something I associate with suddenly having lots of weird twinges in my legs and lower back from walking slightly differently

neighbor has been leaf blowing for what feels like, but cannot be, two straight hours. just rake it at that point! I guess once you buy a power tool to do something it's probably humiliating to go back to manual labor

moronic analogy, it's more like AI is as much a form of intelligence as photorealistic generative AI renderings are a form of photography
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
“A.I. is no less a form of intelligence than digital photography is a form of photography,” the philosopher Barbara Gail Montero writes in a guest essay. “And now A.I. is on its way to doing something even more remarkable: becoming conscious.”
