Going back to the Constitutional Convention and getting drunk with Hamilton and accidentally telling him about Trump, only to find the United States is a constitutional monarchy in personal union with Spain when I return to the present

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

I would pay for a new Reading Rainbow coffee mug

The old one I got from the Kickstarter broke

I would throw money at a t-shirt that says in all caps “TAKE A LOOK, IT’S IN A BOOK” over a rainbow.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

You’d think the fuckwits would refer to themselves as the second world but they lack even that amount of self-awareness.

Being revolutionary is when depressed. Being an enemy of the proletariat and petit bourgeoisie is when happy.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

I said I wasn’t going to, but if I were in charge:
- Set DISCO in the 25th century
- Burnham can be a descendant of either Spock or Sybok
- The Klingons are the villains because a revanchist faction took over after the Dominion War

None of this excuses the very real societal issues the US of 1939-1945 had, at all, of course, but the idea we were a nation with a Secret Nazi majority based on the above points when we *saddled up and made an entire industry of turning Nazis into Incredibly Dead Nazis* is just TBI-territory wrong.

Also the "famously there was a giant 1939* Nazi rally at MSG" skips over the fact that while 20,000 showed up from all over for the rally, more than FIVE TIMES as many local NYCers alone showed up to tell them to eat shit and get in fights with them!

(*yeah '39 not '35, they're wrong again)

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.
