ok sorry . my lawyer has advised me to say that drinking israeli diarrhea is good actually no matter how many kindergartners they murked

I’m just saying it feels like this level of sustained anxiety should be burning more calories than this

I bet doom scroll meant something way cooler in the middle ages.

How can I be obsessed about the dystopian future of the planet but ALSO Googling which foods can help me live longer?

i hate these tech freaks so much. shut up about politics and go make me a little computer.

tweet that reads: "Personally, I read a bunch of classics in high register in college. I guess it was fun. I recently ChatGPT'd Aristotle into readable English, finished it around 5x as fast as a translation, and felt I got the main gist of things. idk does the pain incurred actually teach much?"

Seems important that in Fahrenheit 451, books were still “available” in single-paragraph summaries—“read Hamlet in five minutes!”—but the books themselves had been banned for being too difficult. Tech boosters see a warning and think it’s an instruction manual.

I don’t know why but the anti-intellectualism on twitter right now (rw assholes ganging up on a woman who did an interesting PhD) might be what finally cures me of my twitter addiction. Just such a bummer.

Excerpt from an e-book. Highlighted text says, “All his life, if someone had asked him why he read, the reader would have answered that he was curious about <i>other minds</i>. He read to learn how other minds saw, thought, experienced the world. He believed that his own mind could be reflected and enlarged by the language of other minds.”

Just finished “Other Minds and Other Stories” by Bennett Sims. Really cool stories.
