Chotiner: You've made the claim that no one has ever fed you in your life.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: Yet there's food in your dish right now.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: Let's change the subject to the ripped-open bag of sandwich bread on the floor.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: I have read different things.

it must suck to be a cat. you are born into this world, no one feeds you. you live a long life, but no one feeds you. you have never been fed, not once, not ever, never ever

It is between late night and early morning. Time to sing the song of my people to make sure everyone knows nothing is wrong

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.

It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

I listened to several of these and across all of them two things are standard- the simpering nature of these calls which are always "oh I dont know theyre nice I'm sure why don't you lock them in a cage just in case" & how ENRAGED they get when they simply have their own words repeated at them

So I carved off a lean chunk of the steak before cooking it,

And made sure to set it on the edge of my plate, after I was done.

And then to look the other way. To let her steal it.

I got her her favorite thing, for her birthday -

Crime.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

I know there are more insidious uses of AI, but one of the most depressing to me is when it pops up in local TV ads. These things are supposed to be folk art; put your uncle in a bad wig like god intended.

I can respect leaking military secrets to win a forum argument but to do it for profit is just unseemly.

Vaccines need FDA approval, and Moderna doesn’t appear confident that they would be able to get that.

I would actually prefer that more people enjoy this specific thing on the internet at home so I can do some weekend shopping in peace. More posts, less traffic, thank you for your service sports enjoyers. β™₯️

A Facebook post of mine from 2015

Not to detract from the Reddit interview people are sharing of Caroll Spinney (the actor behind Big Bird) speaking to a a dying child over the phone, but to lighten it up a bit with a related story. Here's my "meeting" Caroll Spinney over the phone story.

Spinney was friends with one of my Dad's secretaries from early in his business. He would regularly call Jan at the office to talk. I had vaguely known of this fact when I was hired at age 10 or so to be my Dad's receptionist for 2 days while the rest of his employees packed the office for a move. My job was basically to ask people to call back in a couple days unless it was an emergency.

Here is where I should note Caroll Spinney's Big Bird voice is just Caroll Spinney's voice. He sounds like that all the time.

At age 10, I was no longer watching Sesame Street but I recognized who he was immediately. I told him about the pseudo-office closure, but he insisted it was an emergency, so I patched him through. I couldn't help myself from listening in.

For the next twelve minutes, I was treated to Big Bird cursing out "those fuckers at the RMV," (MA's auto / driver registry). It was my most glorious childhood phone experience / meeting one's hero story ever.

This is true for so many of these performers. As a kid, I got to hear Big Bird say very not Big Bird things
