you know the thing where the cat keeps wanting to put his mouth on your hands as you're trying to type, and it's gross and also annoying and keeping you from doing a thing you need to do?

Sort of related: there is an AI plot on the most recent version of The Morning Show (which is a pretty stupid show overall, but I watch it nonetheless). The advocate for AI not only has to admit her product mostly doesn't work, but she […]

Academic and physicist, I also dabble in […]

I think I’d be very morose about academia if i were on blue sky & in regular handwringing opportunities with friends there. I’m not putting my head in the sand by being here, but my regular timeline is full of people who live in queens and adjacent & (presumably) folks outside of academia and […]

Finished revisions on a chapter over the holiday "break"--it was more work than I thought it would be, but had written it in summer of 2020, so I guess I should have expected it to be rough & full of "I'll forgive myself for these missing citations later" type shit.

I will ask chat GPT
I will boil the last of our drinking water
Salt the soil of the scrub-lands
Tear the pages from books and feed them to my fire

I will ask copilot
I will scramble your library
maim the faces of your favorite paintings
I will bury you in poor copies of your dreams

I will ask […]

Enjoying the #caturday posts today (as always)!

Here are my goofs—she was inexplicably trying to be near him today…not sure if to troll him, steal his spot, or try to snuggle. He was unhappy—swatted her & made lunges as if to bite her. But she was kinda unbothered! Hence the big yawn!

One of my favorite mastodon features is the time-based muting. Someone's posting through (suffering, lol) a football game, and I have less than zero interest in sportsball? But I generally enjoy following them? Mute them for 1 hour (or 6 hours), and my screen is no longer littered with crap […]
