My multi-color LED floor lamp covers all my essential activities: ketamine, astral projecting, nipple play, gooning, and performative reading.

The irony is that AI is intensely “relational” and “multi-dimensional,” but this doesn’t play well in the academic “indigenous” kink scene.
The "editorial" parts of NEJM, Science, etc. do so much harm to public perception of science. Why do this? Are we going to publish (basically the exact same essay) from a Pentecostal preacher? Science is too important for human prosperity to do this: kevinbryanecon.com/trust.htm…

Could not be more wrong. The post Cold War US academic left does not define itself through building state capacity, much less public ownership and command of goods and services; it argues for the redistribution of feelings of guilt and innocence and the command of symbols.
A lot of twitter discourse and left wing policy discourse is a product of the fact that the academic left never acknowledged that the fall of the Soviet Union discredited any aspect of left wing thinking.

It would be far better for anti-grad union commenters to just say that graduate study is for people with family wealth. That’s the upshot of their position, and people can take it as an acceptable state of affairs, or dispute it.

Another joke is that the court bothered buying Matthew Butterick’s Equity font, and then uses two spaces after a period and that nasty line justification. 🤮
I’ve been recently criticizing judges for making jokes in serious cases. Often folks ask me: well when is it ok?
A case about a fight between two premium tequila brands is where it’s ok.

lol. lmao, even. Harvard, et al. avoided disclosing their racial bean-counting to the federal government, so why shouldn’t applicants follow their example?

I thought “there’s absolutely no way Apple won’t let you type Santa isn’t real.”
I…was wrong. What the actual
原来这么多年我用 iPhone 滑动打字老出错，不是因为手残，是苹果在后台搞暗箱操作 。。。。，
有人把 iOS 27.0 键盘底层的加密文件破译了（swipeblocked.com），扒出一份包含 4500 多个iPhone 自带键盘中隐藏的“屏蔽词组”黑名单。只要你用滑动输入（Swipe）触发这些词，键盘就会装傻乱跳词，甚至直接倒回去篡改你前面打好的字：
• 先打 Left wing 再滑 conspiracy -> 前面的 wing 会被强行改成 wrong
• 想滑 iMessage isn't working -> 直接拦截（只要滑不出，iMessage 就没坏🤡）
• 想滑 Santa isn't real -> 绝对不行（苹果誓死守护圣诞老人）
• 甚至极其双标：你可以丝滑打出 bad boy 和 I'm black，但滑 bad girl 和 I'm white 就会被系统偷偷拦下。
中文用户也没逃过——用拼音打出特定敏感词后，iOS 的「下一词联想栏」会原地罢工变空白。
手头有 iPhone 的快去试试滑一句 Santa isn't real，看看你的键盘会给你胡乱蹦出什么词？
Perfect example of the shift from knowledge to pattern-recognition as the real telos of test-driven modern ed.
The decline of AP tests. Many of the question you could pick up without knowing much about history since they give you a visual aid. "memorization" is a cardinal sin in education these days so the course material just becomes a backdrop to do some "critical thinking" but "memorization" just seems like a derogatory term for knowledge. You can't really have a good understanding of history without knowing facts, dates etc.

recently i learned there are entire online communities dedicated to archiving those patterns inside of envelopes that exist to obscure the information, so when you hold it up to light, you can't read the contents. people even make art out of it (creds in alt text)
